Thanks Ben I really appreciate it. It's an aftermarket carbon fiber hood.

 

Samshizzle's car wins!

 

is that the apexi N1 exhaust? car is looking good.

 

OMG you have Advan Oni's? This is only the third FC I have seen with these wheels, the other two being mine and the Border racing demo car in Japan.
What size and offset are your's?

 

Well kudos for painting it. Must have been hard to bring yourself to do it. Looks clean as hell.

 

Nah it was easy. I've had the hood for like 8 years now and just don't like the black hood look anymore.

 

Yes you're correct. They're Apexi N1 duals. I like them a lot. I feel like they fit the overall look of the car. I could've gone RB-as pretty as they are-but in the end, I had a vision so strong I couldn't make such a visual compromise.

And thanks @Hurley990. This is only temp. When yours is done everyone will forget about mine. Between You, TreeFish and a few others, its awesome to see some sweet FC's. You guys are my inspiration to muscle through and complete this damn car.

 

I got in a group buy supplied by poster "Circuit Theory" Still a chunk of money, but a lot cheaper then the only other places to pick them up... RHDjapan.com, and ebay. Actual OEM Mazda visors...

Your car looks AMAZING. your kit is so clean.... ugh, awesome car, makes me want to go kitted style.

I love your car. so well built. ugh.... SO PERFECT!!!

 

Your looking on others as inspiration while im here looking at yours as inspiration! Lol its beautiful. Im really loving that white in red look. Amazing.

An i also have the dual n1s. I love them. The sound is amazing and it just gives the car a mean aggressive look from the back.

And i have a question, what Coilovers is it sitting on? And does it rub in the back or while taking turns?

 

Scrapp - yeah I feel as though this is the best my car looked. It's looked pike this for the past decade. It's I think ill rock this for this year but I would love to go back to a more simplified look. I want it to look clean like samshizzle. His car is so so clean. Perfection in ky eyes. In ky eyes the grass is greener on the other side.

The one thing that I really really need to work out this year is my stance and wheel fitment. The hard part for me is the rear tire. Trying to properly flush up a 285/30/19 in stock wheel wells is hard as hell. I don't have that angle to my side walls like most do that are flush and lower than I am.

 

Haha thanks man!! Yeep i bought these straight from japan, 17x8 front and back, front is 25 and rear is 22 with alot of dish!

 

I know how the coilovers work people adjust the preload to get a little lower ride height. If anyone has megan tracks they would know the backs are different from the rear. You spin the black threaded piece in the center down and in the front you can spin it as low as you want. But in the rears its sealed and will only spin so far down before it bottoms out. I adjusted the preload and got another inch in the rear but thats it. Officially as low as it can go without modifying them and still have 2 inches of wheel gap. It blows..

 

scrapp- window visors look amazing and really set your car off! Still waiting to install mine :/

Thegoldensb- I have a friend on megans and his car is quite a bit lower. I have no idea whats wrong with yours. Definitely a bummer but you car is still sick! I'm jealous of how clean your kit fits.

Samshizzle and Hurley- You guys make me wanna go white. Both of your cars are super clean.

 

I have cxracing and there just like Megan's but from what I've seen beachfc had Megan tracks and he was able to match my drop with out modifing anything

 

Hmm yeah that is weird. Thanks its just a gp sports knock off and it only looks good cause i molded it to the car probably wont be doing that again cause its gonna be a pain when i need new aero. But sadly i ripped the front bumper to pieces over the weekend getting it off the trailer at this drift event . Back to an incomplete kit now.

To radiox7 those coils are pretty close but the megans seem a lot longer for some reason. I'll take a wheel off later and post a picture and maybe someone could identify a way to get lower. Hopefully nobody minds that it is completely off topic.

 

@thegoldensb yea plz take pix and post it I wanna see what's going in there oh and try to post front ans rear so we can all help out lol and sorry to here bout that bumper #driftlife

 

Great locations and excellent photography . Nice TII, two up!

 

Well with my experience with those coils, I'm 90% it's a pre-load issue. luckily you have a kit, and really only need another 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch to be proper.

Here's a few pics of how my car sat on Megan Tracks.

Pic 1: not fully lowered.



Pic 2: removed about a 1/2 of preload



Pic 3: fully lowered with no pre-load thread left(you do NOT want this for a track car)


And Pic 4: Powered By Max coils, just for the hell of it ^____________^

 

trueimport and the golden bringing some life in here

 

First and foremost I'd like to take the time to thank all of you for your comments and compliments. It really makes me feel good that the community I strived to become a part of embraces me and my ride.

To answer the questions: yes. It rubs on occasion. But only the right rear. Maybe Hurley and his patented measuring methods are flawed? Maybe my fingers aren't all the same? Maybe the tires aren't evenly stretched? I'm not sure... My coilovers are STANCE GR+ pros. They're awesome and I recommend them. They're beefy and have all the adjustability you can ask for for the $. Especially comfortable to daily on the streets. Richie from AutoRnD hooked me up. Great price.

This first pic; the white is blown out. But looking at this pic this closely seems like what it's like to see the car in person. It's so god damn white it's silly. I love it. All the rest are self explanatory. The more "professional" looking pics were shot my MarkT Films. Look him up on FB. Cool dude, needs some exposure and opportunity.

Just realized my exhaust is a little crooked. ****...

The best thing I ever did for the car is the tail mod. I can't tell you how enamored I am with the look of the rear end. Make it Twerk...

Trueimport I think your car is rad. Love that hood. Is the scoop offset to the opposite side? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?

 

Looks amazing! Nice photography too! What wheels might I ask?

 

Thanks bud, help a brother out and help me fix my fitment. The scoop is dead center and larger than stock with the addition of the rear side vents.

 

Here are some additional pics from my little shoot this past Saturday.

 

Its really difficult to get low on 19's. For the obvious reasons of course. I usually don't think 19's look good on FC's but you pull them off nicely. I think you just need some spacers.

I'm no Fitment guru. I swear I thought I failed when I got these wheels. The offsets and widths are so aggressive. I prayed in the hope it would work out. And if they didn't I was prepared to either flare it or over fender it. Luckily, it turned out nicely. But obviously my setup is for pure vanity. I can't go anywhere or do anything this low. Especially in nj. And I still feel like everyone is lower than me :cough:radio, beach, (soon to be Hurley((you better)))...

But hey radio and beach know their ****.

That 285 may just have to go bro. And a little camber and you might be golden.

What wing is that? That's pretty dope.

@pontiackid they're varrstoen. Available at Walmarts everywhere... lol just kidding. Check out their website. Relatively Cheap aggressive wheels. Prepare to recieve the hate for rolling twice as hard for 1/3 of the price. #ftw
