Ya, its on the list of things to do. My water temps stay at 83 and that ugly dryer duct keeps the aits down pretty low so its working well, but im going to do real ducting for it soon.

Are you running any negative camber, that is a pretty aggressive set-up and it looks flush? Excellent work.

Hey Eric,
the Profils are stronger, lighter, and offer more big brake clearance. I also wanted some brand new Fikses as my old set had gotten a bit beaten up over the years. Plus I'm now rocking some nice new sticky road race rubber on the streets
Having said all of that, I'm moving in a different direction with wheels so my new Profil5's are indeed for sale, PM me if interested

Oh alright gotcha. I figured, knowing you, there was some performance benefit as the reason behind it, HAHA.
I hear you on the road race rubber on the streets. I just got some Nitto NT555RII, 285/35 front and 305/35 rear (pic attached, my buddy Z sent me the pic since I'm not there to see them in person), my wheels are getting powdercoated black as we speak and the car is getting painted black after the fenders get widened even more haha. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about those tires on the street day in day out, but I'll get over it I suppose HAHA. Oh, and I'm ready to put the deposit on that 500R. I saw the vids from you and Adam, WOW! So, you said going in a new direction...what is the plan now? I understand if you want to keep it hush hush, but you can tell me, I have a TS clearance now HAHA.
Anyhoo, I would love to buy your old wheels but I'm kinda strapped right now and my fenders would probably be too wide now anyway haha. However, if I get another FD....
LOL
I need to get that damn heater core replaced too so I won't be freezing my *** off in CO next winter too haha.

I use the same alignment settings as my friends ("azn akira" on the forum)track car since my fd isnt a daily driver either. its -2.5 in the front and -2.1 in the rear. The front has tons of room and could probably fit the 255's fine on stock camber but I trust Alex's recommendations and he has alot of track time on that setup with similar tires so I went with his specs.

Aero Fiber and Shine auto make replica feed sides. Both with great fitment, I believe they are available in frp or cf.
