They are..

I don't use it to replace the head lights.. mainly for daytime running lights. What I have noticed is that its so bright, when I'm on the interstate, people tend to see you better and move out of your way sooner

Well I for one think your car looks great cuhrupt. Love what you did with the interior, alcanatra and red stitching is a nice touch. I am bit biased towards the works too, car looks great. Time for a new steering wheel though.

Thank you for the compliments, I took my time and tried to do more of a restoration. I have a pic of rich's car that I referred to quite often during the decision process. The paint is BASF Diamont , color is Vermilion red (Ford color) and all the trim, plastics and door handles are SEM trim paint, color Landau black. It is an R2 but I am not a fan of the wing, also I shaved the rear marker lights and the antenna. Believe it or not the paint has not had its final wet-sand and polish yet =)

Advan is nice if you like overpriced MAT cast wheels. Reason the meisters got played really fast is because people have 0 imagination to try anything new.

I think our idea of trying something new is different from a lot of other peoples

What track was that at? How was your session?

Mazfest at Autoclub Speedway saturday,Did pretty good since I was capped at 5 psi of boost only. Gave mazdatrix's sliver fb good battles all day. Overall the car held up pretty good. It was freaking hot 94 degrees. My temps where pretty high but safe.

That's part of the reason why I'm swapping my wheels as soon as I get my other wide front fender from Ken. And I swear to all that is holy, if I'm not the first ones with these wheels... LOL. I haven't seen them on anyone's 7/FD yet, so I think I might be first.

Alex, 5 psi of boost? What happened? I'd hope your FD wouldn't get hot on track, it's almost n/a

Lol I didn't get my tune before going so I didn't want to risk it, I was stuck on the wastegate spring. I bought a fuel set up from allrotor93 so I as soon as I get it I will be around 15psi safely. Oh man temps where crazy at the track ,I even ran my heater most of the runs.

Ummm, your cars on fire in those shots too. I hope you put it out quickly.

I've never really been a fan of chicks posing on cars personally. The girl always looks like she's trying to get busy with the car, but is never quite in the right position to do it. At the same time she's cheating on the car (probably because it's not giving her what she wants) with the camera. Car looks good though, is that the autoexe intake?


Alex, how did you like that track?

If you have a 5 psi spring, you'll be lucky to get past 10 psi. Are you sure you have such a weak spring? Typically you want to size the wg spring to about half of what your max boost will be. I don't think you'll see 15 if you're at 5 right now.....

No I have the tial 3.5 lb spring giving max 5 psi boost I order one for 11.5 big to go in place of it . Do you get me now? I just can't do anything till I get my fuel set up then I can go ahead and get to work.
