amp, actually the airflow to both radiator and intercooler is more than enough. i never see temp over 90c even during spirited driving. i also have a aluminum under panel that directs air to it hense the reason for the radiator sitting so high for clearance. overall im very happy with the HKS intercooler kit. i know they did there R&D and it shows......

 

Gracias mi amigo

aggressive front end..who makes it?

 

looks like orgin to me..

 

Great looking cars!

 

Thought that front end may be Garage Kagatoni? Will be interested to know as well.

 

its an origin front bumper

 

Don't think this one will polish out. She did a good job of protecting me, though...

 

that sucks man sorry for the loss.

 

What happened?

 

The rear slipped on some mud & grit, she then hit a small mound, got about 8 ft of air before hitting a telegraph pole & a couple of branches, then rolled three times before coming to a stop. Its a lot worse than it looks in the pics...The rear suspension has come through the towers etc from the landing & the front right wheel has moved ~6 inches backwards.

 

Texas is having some crazy winter weather this year...

 

Wow!!! Glad you're okay, sorry about the car, but from the sounds of it, you're lucky to have walked away.

 

Damn that's pretty crazy, definitely good thing you came out of that with no bad injuries

 

glad your ok!!!

 

oh my god. good to still see you posting here. i hope you get a lot of money from your insurance.

 

Brutal! glad your alright!

I love the leaking eyeliner idea, it's 10/10 for creativity imo. I wouldn't do it to my own car but it is cool for temporary use.

 

Thanks! I wanted to do something that fits with the pre facelift front. Something I noticed about the 99 spec front is that it looks kind of psychotic, it's got a really aggressive air dam shape, and the bumper lights make it look like it's excited about tearing around tarmac. It really has a personality that fits perfectly with the way people ring the hell out of these engines and the shrieking scream of a worked race rotary.

In contrast, the pre-facelift front is more subdued, the air dam is a lot less aggressive and is almost a sad face with the rounded edges, but still not quite something you can define or identify easily. I wanted to do something to highlight my interpretation of the car, but I still wanted to reflect the aggressive acceleration and noise that these cars can represent. Inspiration came from the classic character of a woman angered by discovering her significant other had cheated or done something to severely anger her, picturing the yelling and the throwing pots and pans and the running mascara
