TRD Fog Canards.. arrived
Got these this morning, looks like I'll have to remove the front bumper again.
They are made of soft supple poly urethane material. Hopefully I'll be able to bolt the canards via the wheel well shroud. Pics

Not sure if this has been pointed out, but you should consider swapping your dry and wet track rims. Wider and lighter in the dry, narrower and heavier in the wet.

I'll hit up City Toyota parts maybe next week to find out, and also pick up some more 0W-20 Genuine oil. @Boxer486: Good idea, that's the plan I'll be using my CP-R as my daily and also as my 'wets' since they have the Michelin PS3's on them which are very very good in went conditions. I also have my WedsSports with PS3's on them too which I can use(but slightly less tread). I sold off my RPF1/Kumho KU36 wheel combo to a fellow Zx6'er here in Perth last week, but I'm now looking for a brand new set of wheels - specifically for track use. 16inch and very functional. Still trying to sort out the best price for them, will most probably be shod with Kumho V70A's(mediums) or some Toyo R888's or Yoko AD08 Rs(still gotta do more research on tyres) So the CP-R's will be my dailys(4.9kgs daily lol), and the new wheels will be my track wheels and the Weds will be my bling/photoshoot/cruise-meet wheels.

Reach Out World Wide
I received my stickers earlier this week. Put some on my car and helmet.
Stickers are great, have a bit of stipple/mottled texture to it also. These are the legit stickers supporting ROWW directly. Also picked up a hat: http://roww.3dcartstores.com/Embroid...Grey_p_24.html PedoBear Racing®

RadiumAuto Dual Catch Cans Installed
One or two hiccups here and there. If you bought bonnet dampers that didn't come supplies with longer bolts it might be a good idea to use them, or buy some 10mm bolts. Stock bolts just manage to secure them though.
Left Hand Side If your using a FT86Speed Factory braille 11lbs AGM battery holder, you'll be pleased to know that it just fits the catch can. I would probably put the can in a rubber sleeve of some sort to be safe(electrical wise) and protect the finish from abrasion. Right Hand Side One or two hiccups here, you have to disconnect a metal pipe(2 clips) and let it hang slightly loose. Also a bunch of wiring loom has to be unclipped from the strut tower. Very tight fit. In this picture you can see I used one of my SPOON oil reservoir socks wrapped around it, secured with zip ties. This is to stop abrasion with the loose metal pipe(which is resting hard up against the catch can)

Ronals Arrive
Just in time for Valentines Day!! I got my car yet another set of shoes. These are "Ronal R50 Aero". A throwback design mimicking the Ronal "Turbo". They come in 16in and 18in sizes. These are 16x7.5 with +38 offset. 9.6kgs. Made in Germany. A Japanese car running German whee's who'd have thunk it. Significantly heavier than my CP-R's(4.9kgs) although weight is less than stock weight of GTS wheel. As can been seen from the last two pictures the vents seem functional which is the intention for purchase of this wheel. Proper tyre rubber for this wheel is 205/50/16 is very expensive. Got quoted $370 each for Kumho V70A and around the same price for Toyo R888's. This is from a local dealer, may have to check online for more competitive prices. Update: Just ordered some R-Comps for the Ronals. Seems like a nice enough price.

I have been wanting to see these on a twin. I love the rim look. Why didn't you get the 18"s?

Loving the build. You inspired me to heat wrap my intake and I have a radium catch can as well. Engine bay is clean.
