If the car I'm looking at is as good as people say then it might be bye bye.

Wow! This is one of the cleanest builds I've seen. Just drive it for a while, take it to the track and enjoy it for a while. Maybe that will change your mind. |

How does everyone know?! Haha but yeah I'm looking at getting a CTR. Perhaps to either replace the FR-S or just have as a summer street car.

Nice. Although I hear you can't even get a test drive. I'm guessing you know someone that'll let you drive it?

I have a friend that works at Honda and has a CTR himself so I'd say I'm lucky to have a contact that is very familiar with both sides.

Wheels are in. Originally ordered a set of TE37SL in an 18x10 but Rays said no after an 8 month wait so settled for these OG's.
Yokohama A052's are also back ordered so not exactly sure what tire compound I want to switch to.

Thanks! I'm excited to see your build progress as well.
One of my friends works for Honda Canada and said that he can get me a better deal than end of year so I'll be holding off till then I have someone interested in buying the car with all the parts but we'll see how everything goes once I start tracking the car again.

8 month wait! As much as I respect Japanese craftsmanship, their customer service is horrid. I don't know if it's because they're busy and understaffed but turnaround times of 6-8 months is insane. I really wanted this wing but they quoted 6 months. I'm sorry, it shouldn't take 6 months to inject ABS into a mold and make a damn wing

Voltex wings are pretty nice though and luckily I got mine in stock. I'm going to be selling it next year to my little brother and order a different one.

Had the TE37's wrapped in a 255/35/R18 RE71R this week. The offset on the TE's are a bit too aggressive for a track alignment so I had the front and rear fenders pulled/rolled a tiny bit just incase I move onto a 265.
I think I'm done buying parts for this year... Time to enjoy driving this thing. Also picked up a super functional TRD oil record plate.
