I love that interior sill in cabon. Does it look like it would fit a first gen?

Thanks! I think these might just be for the 2nd gen, but can't confirm. I noticed that Revel didn't have the sills listed as an available product for the first gen.

Installed/Test fit new RLCA and FLCA.





Car was aligned and lowered about 10-12mm. No rubbing with full lock and over hard bumps (thank god for RUCA).



fitment = ideal

Few Updates:
  • Won an auction on yahoo japan for some aero - hoping that it arrives by the end of the month!
  • Got the car ceramic coated with Gyeon Infinite Base + Infinite Top Coat after a 2 step paint correction.
  • Wheels: Removed the red SL stickers and ordered some Blue OG stickers. Also replaced the red valve stem caps with blue ones.

8/6 day with the fellas! Bunch of ex first gen owners remember when @apex-apex still had his 2jz gen 1?






Gotta love 8th gens...

Got some OG stickers since the red SL stickers were clashing.





Gerald Just Projects gauge vent going in this weekend!



Aero shipment is getting delayed a bit. Friend is adding it to his container to save some money on shipping

What were your alignment specs? And I'm assuming you had to trim the rear quarter at that height?

Yes - had my rear quarters trimmed (including the inner black fender plastic) before I dropped the car since I was transferring over 9.5+40 from my gen1.

Before RUCA I had around -3.2 camber in the rear in order to avoid poke and having a moderate drop (photos in the beginning of the thread).

After RUCA I'm sitting at about -2.3 camber in the rear and I was able to safely tuck the tires for a somewhat "flush" fitment.

Have some friends borrowing my car for subiefest this weekend - they were kind enough to drop the pan for me today.

Not as bad as others, but you can definitely see the grey/orange/yellow rtv in the filter. Glad I was able to get this done - hate the fact that I paid 45 bucks for the OEM RTV.

~6k miles 10/21 build date.

Replaced the Remark Elite Spec Catback with an Apex'I N1 Evolution Single Exit.

Night and day difference with volume/drone. I'd say the Apex'I is closer to stock than it is to the Remark exhaust I had before.

Was able to get a good deal on the Greddy/Voltex diffuser and I've always loved the styling on other cars like Evo's and S2K's.

Looking really good!


Do you have any sounds clips of your A'PEXi exhaust? In-cabin and outside, drive by, etc.

Thanks - Here's a vid of the cold start (very tame):
