Steve, u crazy man...

[sirus]

So you got the car raised?
How are you finding the mods from stock?

[stevo_12v]

@Gan: Crazy? haha how so?

@sirus: Yeah, the RS*R's were pretty low when I got them off Joe. It was about 80mm at its lowest point and I really don't wanna get a yellow or anything, you know how some cops are(esp the hater ones). So I got it raised 105mm. Car was scraping/rubbing when it was 80mm too :/

Mods are pretty good, the TRD strut bar, you definitely feel the car feeling alot 'tighter' on turns. The RS*R's are pretty damn good for a coilover, about the same comfort as the stock shocks but giving alot better handling.

Oh yeah, the weight reduction mods on the car are a MUST. Losing 36+kgs you DEFINITELY notice a difference in acceleration and cornering.

A cheaper alternative for wheels would have been to get a set of Enkei RPF1's over east for around $1300, but they wouldn't have been as light, nor as 'aesthetic' as the Weds

There is less than a pound differences for the 9's, and you have the option to upgrade to larger tires iffff you ever wanted to. Not trying to be an ass I just didn't understand.

Your car looks awesome man! Very nicely done! I love that you raised the car to a more functional ride height, and those are some of my favorite wheels on this car.

[stevo_12v]

@TouchMyHonda: no probs man. I honestly don't think I will be going wider than 225's on this car. So that's why I still prefer a narrower width, that and every little bit of weight saved is good - especially unsprung weight.

Anyway.. I got back home and found THIS in the kitchen...

Installed!!


I bought the 'combo' pack as it comes with an AVO panel filter. At the moment I'm currently using a TRD panel filter.

Just the amount you've spent already in such a short time frame man. Crazy. Haha.

Went to "Helmet House" in Victoria Park to day to buy a helmet. Sales people are very good there. I was going to go for a fully covered helmet with visor, but in the end decided to opt out for a half face helmet.

Looks like they raised the car when you got an alignment and all that? Why did they do that?

[GaN-MaN]

Better handling is always best. Less Camber in rear always good for spending less on rubber . Less rubbing some as previous. Street Legal no fines is always great.

Why you order two for?

Rotor upgrade already wow nice work!

I appreciate the support. I know I am doing a decent price for the discs, but didn't realise I was this cheap

These are top quality discs and hope you enjoy them.
