Doing it right! Should be a fun retirement. The RV will serve you a lot more than a 458 would!

Already put 10,000 miles on it this spring/summer. Spent 3 week out west with it. Denver Co, Moab, Lake Powell Ut., Colorado Springs, Bailey Co. Then to Rausch Creek, Gettysburg, Ocean City Md twice. Another trip this month for a long weekend.

I can't seem to find your recommended brake fluid. I thought I saw you post in here about some cheaper stuff that's fine for some track use.

Rusty · 10-02-2014, 06:54 PM

I use Motul 600. I bleed the brake and clutch in March before the Autobahn season starts.

What I use is in my list of mods in my first post.

So as the only guy around here with the Nismo RC ducts, I have to ask your opinion. These look pretty similar to the RC duct shape. Do you think they could be made to function as such/look as good?

The helmet came in today. Tried it on. Fits great. But, boy is it light! Weighs around 5 lbs. Feels like a feather. It's lighter then my Shoei X11. The Bell seams like it might be a little thicker in foam at the top. Making it a taller helmet. But it has to be broken in yet too. Meaning I have to watch tv with it on for awhile.

Also got the Bell Helmet backpack, a dark smoke shield, and 2 shield protection sleeves. The backpack has room for a helmet, spare shields, gloves, and extras.

Pictures of the helmet and backpack.

Those aren't brake ducts, but are for intakes/cooling. There is a guy making replica nismo ducts now in cf at a very affordable price. I have a set and love them. Pm me if you want details and I can put you in touch

Like dj said. Those are not brake ducts. But are for getting fresh air to the stock air filter boxs. The factory brake ducts like I have list for $612.00 each. If you really want the RC styled brake ducts. PM dj.
