FRSTRM Car Journal - Baby LFA

[FRSTRM]

18" XXR 527 Wheels are on the car NOW - when I have time, I'll post up some pictures. Also have some powdercoating mods in the works, nothing major, but it should look pretty good.

[FRSTRM]

So here is my updated WANT list, most of it will likely come from @FT-86 SpeedFactory

Engine:
FT86 Catted UEL Header
Nameless Overpipe/Downpipe
Grimspeed Master Cylinder Brace
Password JDM Carbon Fiber Engine Compartment Covers
Braille Battery (FT-86 SpeedFactory 11lb Battery Kit)
Billet Custom Billet Oil Catch Can
Venair Radiator Hose Kit (Black)
Driveshaft Shop Aluminum Driveshaft
Cusco Strut Bar CF (Brake Stop)

Exterior:
Seibon SN Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Rexpeed STI Style Carbon Side Skirts
Whiteline Rear Adjustable Control Arms
Perrin Transmission Mount
Perrin Shifter Bushing
Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit
MTEC Shift Spring Kit

Interior:
JPM Coachworks Stitched Gauge Hood


Total cost for all of these mods will run just under $5k and this is by no means a final mod list, just something to keep myself organized. Hoping to break 200HP N/A. I by no means, have this kind of disposable income, so this thread will very much be alive for a while as my build slowly develops!

Not sure if I ever shared, just some Invidia N1 revving - among some other things a couple of months ago.

Read through the entire 10 pages. Beautiful car man, I think one of the most tasteful ones I've ever seen!

I have the cusco and it clears it easily.

You said no question is dumb

I got a set of the same JDM side markers after seeing them on your car.
when you wired yours did you do yours like this?
Front turn signal : side marker
red : yellow
green : white
black : black
?

I might have missed it but, what wheels did you have first? Are they enkei? And what size tires were you running?

Ok, so I don't remember the exact color combinations, but black will go to black. The white should go to the other wire that is with the black (it will power the white LED for the sidemarker). And the extra wire (yellow) is the turn signal, and should be tapped into the power of your signal in the housing below. I hope this all makes sense.

So I was running on the stock wheel/tire combo for a while (I had plasitdipped them black). Then I installed gunmetal Five AD SF:7 wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxes 4 Plus. The Rims were 19"x8.5" +45 and the tires were 235/35R19 (all of this information is in the first post that has all of my mods listed - for these, just look under 'Previous Mods'). I am currently running XXR Series 527 18"x8.75" +35 wheels (Flat Black) with Dunlop Direzza DZ101 225/40R18 tires.

Hope this answers all your questions!
