The stance on your car looks great! Any plans for the antenna?

specs on wheels/tires and alignment please.

18x8.5 & 18x9.5
+33 front
+40 rear

225/40/18 & 255/35/18 Nitto 555

Stock alignment and camber, didn't change anything except for lowering

Where did u get the rims, trying to find a good dealer.

any rubbing issues front or rear and any fender modifications at all? you think its possible to fit 18x9.5 +40 with 255/35 up front?

and you added rear lower control arms? since you lowered the car it should naturally camber so you compensated for that? looks great.

No rubbing at all. No camber been done yet. Car sits fine and rear lower arms been used yet.

I havent tried putting the 9.5 in the front, but i GUESS it shud work fine

Oh yeah, no fender job too :)

got em from Vivid Racing :thumbsup:

Hmmm i cant seem to find those on their site, I see the brand and model, but not the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 5x100's, i might be blind lol



EDIT!!!

I knew as soon as I posted something I would find them lol. Seems though I cant find the black ones or the offset combo >.<

Max gain recorded was 20whp 3tq

Pulls were done on the same day, same hour on 4th gear

awesome setup! perfectly clean. how are you liking the injen intake?

Good looking car.
So no problems tinting the windscreen up there?

Thanks guys :)

windscreen aint tinted btw, rest are ;)

@gabeg86, Injen intake is a nice mod to start with. Sounds great and shows great gain on the dyno. You can really feel it when you install it. However, since it leans out the AFR, ECU starts compensating to correct the AFR. Therefore, it adds fuel to correct the targetd mixture and car runs richer. I guess what I got of 20whp on the dyno is 5-10whp now (after the ECU compensation) :)

Your car is absolutely beautiful!

Every time I see a another picture of it, I get more and more jelly... :D

What tune and exhaust system are you going to go with? So far it's awesome!

hmmm nice. i'm just indecisive in getting an intake or not because of bogging issues, etc. but loved your dyno so figured it may be worth it. thanks for the info!

Leaning more towards the blitz catback. Not as loud as the others, suits my taste, and looks good too


No tune for now ;)

@gabeg86 , don't feel any bogging issues. Car runs great :)

would a tune keep the 20 whp gain from the intake?

Car looks great!

very nice!

Owner seems to have fun with it! :-)

Very nice looking car

couple recent pix :)

Thanx for all the updates. Your car looks great :thumbsup:
Nice to also finally see a dyno comparison with before and after the intake mod.

welcome :thumbsup:

Looking good. Seems like everyone has those wheels now. Very popular.

Seeing this just adds to the jealousy of all the extras that's included over seas. I would love to have your Fog and Headlights. The Push button is pretty nice.
