Prew/Kempo... nice pics. Love the red with 99 spec nose and CYM track shots. Boy, that CYM is really squatting in that one pic.
Ihor... thanks for the compliment. I'll never forget your trip to Phoenix with Steve in his CYM and your 170+ mph blasts between here and Vegas. Too balsy for me!!
Pomanferrari... so far I love the Teins. Even on my stiffest preset (0 front and 2 rear) it handles like a dream and the ride quality is actually quite nice. We'll have to get together in the next month or so and I'll take you for a ride to see how you like them. The only thing SLIGHTLY annoying is the squeak that the shocks make when you have them on the very stiffest setting and start hitting bumps. I know that it's just the shock doing it's job, but it IS a little annoying.
Here's one more ROLLER from two years ago, but still a couple of my favorites!

Wow Amp. What an angle on the CYM middle shot in your last post. You must have been hanging on to your passenger by the ankles when they leaned out and snapped that one. Hopefully no permanent damage to their knuckles. Good thing you had a nice smooth road

Mecman,
Love the Avatar. She'd go great in my car
Seriously though, thanks for the complement. Mine was repainted before I purchased the car back in March of 2000. Whoever painted the car did an awesome job. Like any car there are a FEW minor paint flaws, but you really have to look to find them and I know where every one is located!

New pics with wheels and calipers completed. Decided to go with Gunmetal powdercoating on my RP01s since I loved the look on my stock FD wheels. Calipers are caliper paint (Duplicolor kit).

Thanks for the comments and complements guys!
Stokedxiv: To each his own on the calipers. I've seen yellow, silver, gold and black. However, my preference is red to match the R1 strut bar. As far as ride height goes, I've already lowered the rear 2" from stock height and the front 1.5." I'm running the Tein Flex with the EDFC and on fast downhills with bumps (i.e., hard shock compression) I get a VERY light rub on the tops of my front fender liners with the shocks set to nearly full stiff. Sure I could go a little lower, but I really want to minimize rubbing when driving on the street.
RX7@Rocketship.com: Thanks for the kind words. Funny how the RP01s look very similar to stock FD wheels, only larger. It would have been sweet to have an 18 inch wheel option in 1993, however at that time 18s were out of sight (pricewise).
