hows that blitz sound in person??

super quiet! But you feel the gains! Ill try to post sound clips but it almost sounds like stock.


Chuck

in for results...

vid please!

In for feedback on the FF2s. Are these these the 2.5s or just the 2s? I had them on my 98 Accord and they weren't that bad. I've always assumed they're more of a stance coilover because of how low they can go.

Day 2-7. Sorry guys been a hectic week! Exterior, suspension all done. Off to force induction we go...


Work Wheels on!

18x9 and 18x10 +38 offset, tires are 245/40/18 all the way around.

These will actually be ready about mid January. We did the final RnD for them. Front needed to go a little lower. Ride is awesome! 32 way adjustability let me go from super stiff to soft in a jiffy.

That ML kit looks good. I think that on along with a TRD rear lip and a 1.5 inch drop would make a perfect subtle look for the street. What is the price of that kit?

Nice looking machine.

Thanks! Kit is $799.00 shipped. We can get you a TRD style rear in exchange if you ever want to do that setup. Same price!

lookin good, lookin good

Thank you sir!

That kit is sick! And inexpensive too! How did you guys attach it to your car?

Simple tapping screws at the edges and double sided tape. Really easy install!

do like your direction....love the stance and the red on white

Very nice! I love the CF with the red, and the white wheels. I like that lip too.

Direction? :iono:

Ya went for the blacktop look :thumbup: Decided to leawve the lip kit painted red instead of carbon fiber. It just looked cleaner on the red.



Chuck

Yea, the hood/roof/trunk flow really well. I really like the trunk/spoiler combo too.

I should've said I remember you guys from EPhatch.com. You guys were awesome, gave me a Christmas discount in January on a type-r lip kit.:thumbsup: Glad to see you on here.

EPHATCH!!! ahaha whats your name?

NitroBoarder, I think I just bought the type-r lip kit from you guys.

Direction in which the car is going in the build

I'd like to see a video on how to install the body kit and if theirs an alternative with the install..and also later down the road after driving the car for long periods of time do you think double sided tape and screws would hold the kit?

Hhaha whats up man! I rememeber!

Were gonna stick with a simple look on the exterior. Waiting for the supercharger. Gonna wait for someone to hack the ECU and get all the issues resolved. From there were gonna track the vehicle!


Chuck

I can get pictures. Ill try to get my body shop to video the install though but its fairly simple. Once you dry fit it, you will actually see how well the kit lines up. Its all about securing it and bolting it down. We actually used a urethane compound instead of double sided tape. This is what Honda uses to attach their lip kits. It sticks so much better! Ask your body shop.

I like the sound of that! I assume you are going with the supercharger since you are tracking the car. Which supercharger are you going with?

Rev Hard will be doing their prototype on ours so we will see how this goes!

Looks good, i would recommend either the carbon fiber or white Toyota emblems from Grazio also. I like the trunk also and maybe add a roof spoiler?

Brake upgrades?

Were awaiting a Rotora kit or a stoptech trophy kit for brakes. I have a set of JDM emblems coming and Ill try out a couple of roof spoilers and see if one fits good! Thanks for the input!
