Call me crazy, but I kinda dig these wheels lol.



Here are a few pics I took today. I was test fitting my new FEED bumper I got from my roommate, so it's not bolted up everywhere it needs to be just yet and I don't have the turn signals in it yet. I kinda like it though. It doesn't exactly go with the Sanai sides but I don't think it's too bad. It's also a different color black but you can't really tell in these pics. And I have some work to do to get the hood to sit lower on the sides, it's bowing up for some reason. I also have plans to cut a vent for the new VMIC I'm planning, so the hood won't be painted for a while. I'm also pretty sure I have my oil burning issue tackled too, WOOHOO! Just in time for the new turbo lol.

Eric, glad you got the problem sorted out

PM me with some details. Car looks great with the new bumper, just do something about the rebar peeking out behind the top slit.

It'll be good (finally) to meet you at DGRR

I hate you. I was looking for RG-IIs forever but can never find them in the sizes or offsets I want. Good choice in wheels.


Pic of my car because thats what we're supposed to do here haha.

Eric, I thought I couldn't love ur car more, but with the new bumper and hood, I was wrong. Looks so good! Can't wait to cruise this summer. Once I get my kit on, we'll have some pretty sweet sevens haha

Happy Meal, gauge cluster is nice! Usually not a fan of aftermarket ones, but that one is pretty sweet.

Yeah I'm hoping it's sorted out. Like I told you in the text, it's conditioned me to believe it will never be fixed, so I'm probably going for a mountain drive with another local FD owner today to verify it's good.

That rebar is something I noticed yesterday haha, so yeah that's getting sorted. But do I cut it or paint it black? lol

Yeah it'll be good to finally meet you too, especially since you've been helping me out for years now haha.

Thanks T! I love this hood more than the last one, and I've always loved this bumper. It's bittersweet that Simon is parting his car, but at least I get to reap some benefits haha. We're going for a drive today I think, if you're off work and wanna go.

Cool cars and coffee irvine, 02/11/12; FD3S parade

It was raining, but we still went down to check out the cars. I was surprised how many ridiculous cars (even a new Lambo Aventedor (sp?)) showed up!!! Check out their gallery. Me and a local gang of FD people drove down from the South Bay/LA area to check it out. Some one snapped a bunch of pics of our FD parade when we were leaving, check it out!

We had a bunch of people coming up to talk to us, a lot of 3rd gen lovers in the crowd! Lots of other cool cars that day, tons of Lambos, Carerra GT, MKIV supra, really really nice 300zx (Z32 I believe) turbo, couple of NSXs, tons of vintage cars, you name it.

When we were leaving:

Went for a drive today with a couple other local owners.
