Dustin's UltraMarine FR-S (Engine Blew - LS3 Time)

[DustinS]

The amount of dead pictures that pop back up in my build thread right after relinking a ton of pictures makes me sad -_-

[Teseo]

Yes, i want those pictures with avid 1 av20

[DustinS]

I really like the Aimgain/StanceNation kit. Aimgain follows the stock lines better, and is rivet-less.

[DustinS]

Talking to the company about this kit:





I don't really like the front bumper, Would prefer to add the flare to the stock bumper. I also don't care for how the rear flare is terminated, easily fixed though (or it seems easy in my head). I do like the overall look of the kit though. Seems it would be a tad easier to build more functional aero tied into the kit.

Looks like you're getting closer and closer to a race car haha.
Looks like a GT300 car. Cool, but a bit too extreme for me.



I'm looking pretty hard at that AIMGAIN/Stancenation kit or just max out the stock body with 285/30r18's.


I always hated body kits, but that AIMGAIN looks pretty good and aggressive but not too over the top.

As for the tires... What have you come up with on the wide body? I see 315/30R18 and 335/30R18 readily available.

I love the look of the GT300 cars. Wouldn't mind going that direction either haha. Unfortunately after hunting down more details on this car, the kit is SUPER wide. The front wheel is a 19x10 et-26 with a 1" spacer included (So an overall offset of -50) and the rear is 19x11 -6 with 2" spacer (Overall offset of -56). Seems a bit too much for me. If it was a track only that might work.

If I was going that far, I would just do this:


315/30/18 all around for wide body, 285/30/18 stock body.

[ILLSMOQ]

What did that even start out as?! haha


I'm going back and forth on the body. Any word on how usable the 285/30/18 set up is as far as clearance and rubbing? I thought I saw someone was running 285/30/18 Hoosier A6's on a stock body body but I can't find it now.

Lotus Elise I believe.

Will require at least a roll, and possibly a pull depending on the offset of the wheel used to keep the Camber to a decent amount.

Edit: Got a response on that kit. It is about 114mm wider all around.

Just another picture for inspiration

MRS Electronics FRS/BRZ LS Swap Can Translator Pre-Order

MRS Electronics Can Module Pre-Ordered. One step closer to getting this done.

[DustinS]

One of my favorite cars.

[DustinS]

Not much going on with the car, just driving it and waiting for a spot to open up at my friends shop. As soon as his employees car is moved, he said I can slot my car in and start on the swap. I have a feeling it won't take long. I will probably just throw it in on the weekend, get the engine and trans mounted and finish the rest at home.

Still waiting on transmission at the moment. Really need to contact them and figure out when that will arrive. Planning on just jumping head first into the accessory drive and ordering the CTSV with the extra pulley.

Also been drooling over these: 18x10 et44 5x100

[ILLSMOQ]

18x10 and skip out on the wide body? I've tried to get ahold of the stancenation guy on that widebody kit but I'm not having any luck.

Whites on blue or dark blue looks good, a buddy of mine had similar white wheels on a blue viper, but it's kinda in your face...plus they will be black in a day of driving haha.

[DustinS]

Yeah I contacted RavSpec about them and they are sold out, so I am back to looking.

I am looking at Work Meister M1R and Work Emotion CR2P. Most likely just go rocket bunny over fenders(Just the fenders, don't want any of the rest of the kit). 18x10.5 et15 front and 18x10.5 et-12 rear. Or either of those in an 18x10 et44

Found this Guys car (Name is Ryan). I absolutely love the look of the wheels. Only problem is they are 9.5 front, 11 rear. So square set-up isn't possible (Volk TE37V Mark II):

[ILLSMOQ]

Yes that looks awesome too! Have the spec details on that set up?

Why do you need to have a square set up?
