Mine was a major PITA to put in for its SVA test (retest is tomorrow morning).
But saying that as I have done it now and understand ALLLLL the issues you will have I reckon a 2nd one would be a hell of alot easier now.

The main problems isn't the car, it is actually trying to interpret the model report so you car matches their spec & as there are about 10 different types of model report available who knows what you need your car to look like!?!?! "UNLESS" some numb **** (ME) has been through all the pain already and you use the same supplier for your model report!

Might have a higher CR etc, but I bet a fair bit of that power is lost from not having access to 100 ron fuel.

A remap, gears, or adjusting CR would take up the slack there - so for me thats definately not a reason to have a JDM!

If you really want white, then id keep looking on all the sites for a good one to pop up that is already registered. You see the odd one on Autotrader.

Newera are very well thought of. Seem to have dropped their stock levels significantly though....
