Circuit Soul Rocket Bunny FRS Making . . .

Hello guys,

Some of you may know me some of you obvious don't but I am Reggie and I use to drive a K20 Integra Type R and that was my pride and joy for a few years...

Since this is a FT86 Forum I will keep the Honda talk to a minimal and say that I pretty much build this ITR in my garage with a few friends and eventually 2 years later I got onto the cover of the Super Street Magazine for June 2013.

SUPER STREET FEATURE:http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...ntegra_type_r/






With all that said... I sold my car 2 months after the photoshoot was done... thinking I was over it since it was my daily driver... driving a car with no heater, no stero, no power steering, no abs etc... sucks for city roads.

I then moved on to a 2013 Scion FRS which I bought in late May 2013...
and so it begins.. again..



that night I swapped out all the interior lights as well as the license plate lights and reverse lights.





I have a few parts left over from my ITR build like the following:




AND THEN... one month in the car just broken in at 2500km... a big shipment of parts arrived...

Rocket Bunny FRS Kit without the Wing
HKS High Power Spec-L with Titanium Tips
EVS Front Pipe
Works Bell Short Hub
Works Bell Rapfix
Buddy Club Racing Spec Coilovers
Perrin Short Antenna









Obviously I couldn't wait and started working away...







Then it was off to a local shop in Burnaby, BC - THE SPEED SYNDICATE for treatment..



















HERE IS WHERE THE HEADACHE BEGINS...

Getting big front wheels to fit with meaty tires is a PITA with the FRS kit...

The 265/35-18 Advan AD07 on 18x10.5 was just not fitting so I hate to find smaller tires even after notching the frame back like everyone else said to do and trimming the bumper as much as possible.

Had to borrow some wheels just so i can get the car to the body shop...





Once I got the car back I got my Valenti Japan LED Tail lights from Modbargains



Then it was time to install the Rocket Bunny Rear Diffuser section...





MORE UPDATES TO COME !!!

I am currently working on getting a Voltex wing on, as well as waiting for new wheels to arrive that i had to wait 10 weeks for from Japan...

Fantastic! Hands down my favorite rocket bunny build. Plus, the K20 Integra is badass! I miss my Integra (that was nothing more than a B18B DB8). Look forward to seeing more pics.

Update: New Temporary Wheels, Clean up and Beatrush Front Rebar !!

So some updates..

I picked up a Beatrush Front Rebar replacement bar, its much lighter then the OEM crash beam... but safety wise.. well thats a different story obviously





I hated the look of the "sound pipe" in the engine bay.. so I did a little DIY delete...




Also got some Work Ewings that have been rebarrelled for some temporary wheels but the fronts were leaking air soooo i decided just to run mismatch wheels for the time being LOL






ENJOY !!

Love your work mate!

Question>>Were those White wheels borrowed, Advan TC2s? What specs/offset were they?
