thanks guys. yea i'll probably stick without the wing for while. i like it for now. the 17's are nice, that extra sidewall really helps with grip.

Well, i just got the car back from the body shop and i'm happy with the result. Its nice not having the car look like i picked it up at a junkyard anymore

I put the Nissan/TwinTurbo badges on when i got home. I figure if i have one of the few cars in the world that i'm not a ricer for putting a 'Twin Turbo' badge on, so i might as well, right?

It was pretty funny... at a meet someone inquired as to how i had managed to have no rock chips on my front bumper. Expecting to hear that i had some magical invisible chip protection that was less noticeable that clear-bra, i think he was disappointed when i told him that i had just had the bumper repainted.

Only thing left to in the immediate future is to change the springs from Tein to Eibach (Which will raise the car up a bit), allowing me to remove one of the camber shims up front which will cure my rubbing and allow me to run my 275's up front with no issues.

Nice. Love the wheels/tires. Got some meat on them riyums. Very racey.

Always wanted one of those. Sweet.

Jeffblue · 12-31-2011, 02:57 PM

Had the car dyno'd again just to make sure everything was good after a few thousand miles.

Red__Zed · 12-31-2011, 03:06 PM

Such a fat torque curve

tjlazer · 12-31-2011, 03:42 PM

What are your wheel/tire specs?

well what i actually will be running is Enkei RPF01 17x9.5+38mm all around with nitto nt-05 275/40/17 in back and 255/40/17 up front. -1.6 deg camber in the back and -2 degrees up front will be the setup. those aren't on the car right now though, they'll be back on in spring.

i just have ADR M sports on the car right now, and some random tires. they don't grip that well. but with the enkeis it grips pretty well.

Looks nice & clean now! Sounds fast! Is it a 5pd manual?
