I love the color and personal touches you're adding to it. Kudos!

Well I guess it's time for some updates? I've been doing everything at a snail's pace so I forget to update.

Recently nabbed the Velox Non Aggressive Diffuser, Aeroflow TRD Front Splitter, and Aeroflow TRD Side Skirts. Installed without a problem.

Also recently went to the Initial D World Meet and grabbed a few rolling shots. This is my favoritwe by far.

Additionally, I also commissioned CLCTV.us to draw out my exterior build for the year; and plan to have the car looking like this before May rolls around.

Thankfully I'm already on my way there as I've already ordered a set of Cosmis MR-7's in bronze and my RR Racing 6/4 Pot kit to fit nicely inside.

Lastly, just today I switched out my Invidia N1 for an Invidia Q300 with custom 4" quad-pipes. I already miss how loud and raw the N1 sounded, but I didn't miss the drone. If only it were a little bit stronger. But oh well, it looks great and doesn't set off anymore car alarms.

I like that your license plate has LFA in it.

Lmao I get that often; sadly it wasn't intended.

Finally set aside some time and bought some new wheels to fit my RR-Racing BBK set.

Wheels are Cosmis MR7's in 18x9 +25 powdercoated in Prismatic's Triple Bronze with a Clear Vision topcoat. Thankfully it clears the BBK by a whole lot.

So I managed to nab some control arms thanks to a for-sale thread a few weeks ago, so it was finally time to go lower and fuller again. Now I'm back to being low and fucntional versus having a weirdish wheel gap fron the new setup. Oddly enough, the ISC V2 control arms raised the car by a decent height before having the coils adjusted to bring it back down again.

Day after, I had my alignment done...thanks to some insane thrust angle...and corrected the toe, caster, plus brought the camber to -2.3 in front and -2.5 in rear to balance everything out.

And as of yesterday I installed my SARD LSR wing! It's interesting to install, but after some tinkering with drag adjustment it came out looking pretty good. You can definitely feel the difference, and it seriously makes its presence known above 90+MPH.

Got a great pic at the local Blackhawk Cars & Coffee this past weekend. Damn it looks good!

Randomly discovered this build thread. Huge fan of what you've done. Anything new in the past 5 months?

Clipdat · 11-03-2016, 11:54 PM

I think I met you at Neal's shop one day.

Let me know if you ever want to sell those gorgeous wheels or trade for silver 17x9 Enkei Kojins!

I havent checked this thread in so long!

Not much has changed, but this coming season is already seeing some big stuff happening. The car was MIA from early October and on!

End of December saw me getting the car back after the dealership detonated my block with a bad oil change and then saw me slapping some Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Specs on. Since then I haven't been doing much.

In a week I'm planning to install DrivewayLabs GT Hood Duct trio after my hood was vandalized, also adding a full new brace kit and a remade Fullblown Motorsports Oil Cooler. Also adding new tire lettering and getting brighter foglamps.

In the next coming months I'm finally grabbing the Victory Function Fenders and the SBD400X Turbo kit.

megamarines · 02-23-2017, 05:46 AM

Ahhh actual progress! Today I brought the car in and played a very infinitesimal in helping Neal put on my DrivewayLabs GT Hood Ducts.

Cutting a hood is intense!

But the results are amazing!

I appreciate how my wheels are dirty enough that they just look black LOL

Also best shop dog! Beau is always wanting to play.

Next week comes fixing a few things, installing the new oil cooler, the full bracing set, and just generally tidying up the car a bit.

Great looking RS 1.0,

I'm normally not a huge fan of the SARD wing, but it looks awesome in this application.

Keep it up!

Carlos_M · 02-24-2017, 12:35 PM

One of the best RS 1.0s I've seen. Very well laid out. Keep it up!

CkOne · 03-14-2017, 10:35 PM
