:brokenheart: :(

I love this guy's videos. And yes, this is what I was referring to. The effect with louvers is likely not as bad, probably somewhere in the middle as far as drag/lift impact... but you can see that the roof spoiler really ruins that big wing.

OP you should get the TRD aero stabilizer, it’s got that TRD bling but will increase air velocity underneath your wing, making the wing even more effective.

So, Elliot's tS build.... are you naming the car TS Eliot? :w00t:

I hadn't even thought of the poet! lol nice:cheers:


So picked up my header. It was already Ceramic coated. Decided to get it wrapped as well. Going to need to keep the heat out of the engine bay in the future.;)

Last few days I had the car getting Ceramic coated. Never done this before. I am normally a PPF guy.But for the same price as the front I got the whole car done. This stuff always seemed like snake oil to me. But I decided let's give it a try. After picking up the car I noticed how smooth the paint felt. Very different. Maintenance is a visit to a Ceramic Pro certified shop for $100 service. Bonus Civic Type R content.

Please tell me you are going to powder coat them gold

Few things done on the car.
Had the Ishii motors install my JR Radiator/oil cooler combo.(awesome shop BTW) I'm on a tight deadline on the car so I decided to let the pros installed this item. The shop was impressed of the quality and fit and finish on the item. First impressions in some street driving and stop and go is that it is working great. Oil comes up to temp faster and sits around 190c. Tonight I got home and decided to debadge the Subaru lettering on my trunk. Super easy just used goo gone and fishing wire. Still waiting on my clear corners & JDM DRLs from ft86 speedfactory.... :iono:

Those guys are great. Had them do my shifter work.

Do you know if the 2017+ models still have the bumper sag issue? I'm about to install my JR oil cooler (the standard track model) and really don't want to deal with it!

yes, they definitely do.

Picked up some new wheels today. JDM goodness as well.
Prodrive GC-06H 5/100 18x8 ET43. Rays owns prodrive and makes these wheels in the same factory as the Volk TE37. The resemblance is clear. The condition of the wheels is great. Got 5 wheels for $1660. I really wanted to pick up a low spoke count wheel. This fits the bill perfect. :happyanim:
I can also transfer over the stock rubber and TPMS from the OEM wheel. So I save some money there as well.
