car looking great Alex! you should just leave the sticker on while driving on the street! the widebody looks a bit plain without the stickers =]

Since I am daily driving the car for the next 2 weeks. It only makes sense duhhhhh.

My Road RACE track set

My autocross/street set up
Volk TE37SL
18x11 315 30 18 hoosiers R6
18x10. 295-35-18 Hoosier R6

My drift/ street set up
Work Equips.
18x11 275-35-18 Nankang Ns2
18x10 255-35-18 Nankang Ns2

EQUIPS are getting stripped lips getting polished and stars powdercoated gold.
TE37SL staying Hyper Blue since it was a limited color.
Rpf1 the forever true and performing haha stay matte black.

Haha, it's been slowly heading this direction for a few years now. Things have finally been lining up for the car, with some orders to Japan made, and lots of hard work.

I know its about the opposite of everyone's taste here, but I'm entirely satisfied with how everything is turning out so far.

Visited Mt. Dora this weekend and stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. Love the concept and will consider doing more over night stays in them.

lt1_rx7 are you going for the VW Golf technocolor look? Your only missing the green.

od404 looks really good.

Obligatory pic post. I took this to send the guys at Fikse while I finish up the wiring. One day...
