Thanks. Very impressive that you could tell where I live just from the pictures, lol. I'm def. going to enjoy it. The car is going to go through a lot of changes in the next few months in preparation for the 2010 track season, I'll post pictures as she progresses. I was going to test fit the black and gold RPF1's on the car today, but I had a few beers and I'm feeling too lazy to do so, lol.

They came on the car. I had assumed they were just some ebay wheels made in Taiwan. But since you asked I decided to take a look. They are actually Kahn RSR. Made in Italy. 18x8 35 offset front and 18x9.5 41 offset rear. While I had the wheels off I decided to try some of my other wheels on the car. Too tired to wash it today, maybe this weekend.

i had my fd for ten yrs and its been awesome. i always thought the fd was one of the best looking cars ever built. when the s5 came out i thought to myself wow this is the first car that i would consider selling my fd for. those cars look really great. it is so friggen sick coming at you with the lights on. so i decided to list my fd one night and figured given its winter its not gonna sell but then a week later it did. i actually didnt put much thought into selling it. i only listed it here. then when berfles was here with the cash in his pocket and i was taking the plate off it hit me....i am selling my friggen cherry *** fd. what the f am i doing??!!??! anyways i just wanted to say bye to you guys...as i been around the community for over ten yrs and have made many friends.
berfles.....u are gonna love that car. it has been amazing to me. and the thing rips. get some experience in the spring before running 15 psi. get to know guys like mahjik and goodfellas. you should get some track time in too. thats what the car has been built for.

alright.....thanks for everything guys

regards,

matt (first time rotary-less in 18 yrs)

btw. that cym is so well done. congrats on a job well done....very tasteful.
You're kind of making me feel bad for buying it and taking it away from you I can't wait until Spring, it's looking like it'll be stored until then with the recent snow. I'll probably pull it out once more just to wash it off and maybe wax it before the cover goes on and it goes back in the garage for three months. It's killing me not being able to drive it, but I agree with getting some more experience before turning the boost back up. I can't wait until Spring so I can really start enjoying the car and learning everything about it.

New updated look for the 7!

Removed CWest lights and put back to stock pop ups. Also installed turn signal covers.

Need to replace this haggard bumper with one that fits better

I really like the look of that bumper on your car. With a proper rim setup, similar to what's in your sig, that car would look really sweet.

did the cwest kit require cutting of the front frame to fit?
Did you have any problems retrofitting the old headights back?
