If we ever get this group buy rolling I'll snap some when I get my set! I think it'll look good with the FB bumper.

If you have placed an order with Respeed, and have an issue such as a long shipping time or anything else, be sure to let Sam know about it. He tried working with a new shipping company, and they "lost" a package of mine for a bit. If he doesn't know about it, he can't fix it.

The price may change a bit due to these modifications as extra hardware will also be included.

I've been in communication with Sam for awhile. He shipped out the stuff I ordered along with my shocks, but not the shocks themselves so I guess they're still in the testing phase. My front bumper has been sitting in my garage for a couple months. Kinda getting used to how the front end looks without a bumper at all

And I just bought another FC so my interest is waning.

Ah that might explain why I'm still waiting on my coil overs after 2 weeks. Does this new company not offer tracking numbers or what? I'm sure they threw them in the back of some old crop duster prop plane and flew it into the Bermuda Triangle... hehe, triangles, rotors,... DAMNIT I WANT MORE OF THEM 6 ROTOR ENGINE COMEONNNNN. Well Sam told me that the Tokikos should ship within the week and if those beat the coils here then I'm gonna give him a call.

I just drew up a design for my engine bay to fit a 6 rotor... It'll look like *** but I don't care. Integrate the radiator with the hood so it raises with it, hmm need to figure out top hose problem. FMOC mounts to front of engine, return line has potential to feed directly into oil pan... Damn this, I should be doing homework.

Just for your sake, is there any problem (potential lawsuit) with modifying a safety device like that? I hope not, because I like it, but I'd hate to see you get into a jam over something like that...

It is for off road "racing purpose" only. Not meant for street cars!

A slightly shorter version could be done to tuck in the SA bumpers a bit and would be sweet looking like this!!!
