thats all for now. if i take some more shots ill be sure to post them.

 

info on the wheels?

 

haha, my brother told me he saw u and a few guys at his work at wingstop....ordering hella fries and ranch dressing! haha....nice pics tho

 

Playin with my new camera =o)

 

WOW, that's really clean!

 

new wheels yyyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

^Not bad, i think i'd like them more once they are in motion.

I like the drop though.

 

I like the new rims. Specs?

 

Forgeline LS 2-piece. 18x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear, 265/35/18F 285/35/18R Dunlop SP Sport 9000. I know the rears are too tall. When I replace them I'll throw on some 295/30/18 tires, which I think will actually fit pretty easily. The fronts are pretty much maxed out though.

I was surprised when I weighed the rear wheel, it was only 19lbs., I was expecting much more. That's a savings of about 6lbs. over my previous rear wheels.

 

19 lbs with tires? If so, thats light! My rims are heavy as hell with tires. I was also thinking the rears were too tall, a 275/35/18 or the 295/30/18 like you mentioned would have been a better setup. Any rubbing issues? Do you have coilovers? Are your fenders rolled? 10.5 is a lot to get in the rear, but the setup looks great!

P.S.- I've said this before, but you take great pictures. I want an SLR to step-up my picture taking skillz .

 

Oh man, 19lbs. with tires, I wish! Hahahaha. With the tires the rears are around 46lbs. total, and the fronts around 42lbs. I think that's still heavier than a stock wheel/tire setup, but it's a vast improvement over the wheels/tires I had on before (and not bad considering the tire sizes I'm running). The 10.5's fit really easily in the rear, but I do have coilovers, and these wheels were apparently custom-made in these offsets for the FD (don't know the specific offsets though). The fronts are tight, though, I think they could have been moved a bit further inwards, but I can't be sure. I'm rolling my front fenders today, and I might also remove the fender liners. That's going to be interesting to see my tires when I open up the engine bay, haha.

You should get into SLR photography. There's a lot to learn but it's fun to get out there, take some pictures, and then see your pictures get better and better. Plus, these days you don't have to break the bank to get a good DSLR, you could probably get started for $500-600, depending on what kind of equipment you get.

 

Did not know my thread move to here until today . find few pic of my FD testing on Locoal Race track. Enjoy!!

To answer most of you guys guestion. yes 99% of my Ext parts are from RE Amemiya . the only none RE amemiya parts is Scoot Hood.

That is incredibly attractive.

 

A wing with no endplates? How does that work/

 

some pics of last saturday

 

Just an update...got new side skirts fitted (garage sale)... ..Not to sure who makes it... but the fitment is pretty good... made of fibre glass...around $110 US is what I made for it.
Next thing is to get proper tyres...RE050's or something (work for Bridgestone NZ) bloody got 205's on it @ the moment...and they break traction very easy...its side ways action if not careful.

cheers..
99 TYpe-R Special Edition.

 

Looks good...could use some tire shine!

 

hey, snub disphenoid that looks like my car now

 

I have taking new pics of my car, and some of them really turned out, so I may make a thread of all the pics in the interior/ exterior section

 

Woah, holy crap! If I went '99 spec we'd practically have twin cars! Crazy...

Do you still have that rear diffuser on? I've been thinking about saving up for one, but I'm not sure how it would look with my car. Besides, in CA it's better to have a more OEM look these days...

 

yes I still have it on... before and after

 

S8nana- Looking good!
