I'm a fan of those wheels.

I almost want to model my Asphalt after that chopped photo, that looks great.

I'll reiterate that.

Those wheels look great! Were those a drop-in w/o much modification? Imagine they'd look just as good on my FRS too, especially since I was looking for a similar design

It will be lowered a bit within the next few weeks. It looks like a monster truck right now

Drop in? The bolt pattern is 5x100, and there were no modifications needed to fit them. Theyre 18x8.5 +44 with 225/40-18s. I plan on switching to 235s or 245s when these wear down.

My asphalt picks up dust like no other, any tips on how to prevent this? Find myself wiping it down like every other day ahha.

What do you use to wash/seal/wax/quick detail the car?

Mine has a moderate amount of dust on it after a few days, but the real test is March-April when the pollen turns every car yellow.

Nothing too special, any suggestions? And do you garage park or outdoor park? Im forced to park outdoors :\

Im forced to park outdoors as well.

I use Blackfire Wet Diamond for sealant, wash with Meguiars Gold Class soap (with a cap-full of Optimum No-Rinse to soften the water), and try to quick detail using Optimum Quick Detailer and Gloss Enhancer daily. It keeps a majority of the dust off the car. Some soaps/QDs tend to attract dust more, not really sure why. But as mentioned earlier in the thread, Ive got OCD. I've been washing the car twice a week. I really cant wait until I can park it in the garage, leaving it outside is killing me.

Picked up the TRS/Morimoto RetroQuik kit last week. It came in Wednesday and I got around to installing it Friday. The physical appearance of the headlamp looks just like stock to the untrained eye. You will notice the clear lens on the projector instead of the fresnel lens of the stock unit. But thats the only difference. Output, however, is a completely different story:

Color band at 100'

I wrote a crappy DIY if anyone is interested in doing the install themselves:

I also adjusted the clutch pedal height thanks to @Koji_Online ( http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8040 ). Now it feels like a normal clutch again!

And I also got around to building my radar mount and hardwiring it:

I still have some adjustments to do to it, and I've thought of another design I might try out too.

Koji_Online · 07-02-2012, 05:12 PM

^ Nice lights! & that radar install is clean =D

civicdrivr · 07-23-2012, 06:38 PM

Its been awhile since I've posted any updates. I've got about 7,000 miles on the car now and its running strong. Im going to get it dyno'd sometime this week or next so I have a baseline to work off of. Since the last update, I've installed:

- Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers
- Subaru Homelink mirror
- OEM mud guards
- 5:AD lip spoiler
- Perrin shifter bushing
- Perrin lightweight crank pulley
- Ummmmmm, I think thats it.

*KID* · 07-23-2012, 08:12 PM

love that spoiler... nice drop too.

Lonewolf · 07-23-2012, 08:19 PM

That is looking pretty clean
