rofl at making 500 unplanned!
and I also voted for you, your setup is gorgeous, how much did the fiberglass mount cost to make?
also, in case you didn't notice, you're winning the RF contest

500 whp on a 500R is very plausible. Takes about 20+/- psi, which puts that turbo in its efficiency range. That's why I ask since there are not many dyno sheets out there from people running a 500R the way it is meant to be pushed. I want to see the dyno sheet to see the hp/torque curves.
I agree that she kind of nonchalantly mentions 500hp and moves on to talk about the stereo. Let's hear the performance details!

That graph is scary as hell. LOL! My engine would have most defiantly exploded if that happened.
Have fun with the car. 35R was the best decision I've made on my FD. Hope you enjoy it.
Side note, I like your photography as well. Good stuff.
Second side note, my wife was born in Victoria and still has some family there. Small world.

Trying out some new wheels on the fd,
18x10.5 +19 Do-Luck Double Sixes
Originally wanted the gunmetal color but these wheels are pretty hard to come across in the United States, so I settled with the polish.
10.5 all the way around :O no good for my front fenders lol need to stretch some tires on them & get them shortened (if i keep them)
I originally had mesh wheels, so this is a pretty big change
im still getting use to them, wanted a nice shot of the car to see what my decisions were. still unknown. lol.
feedback?
car domain has previous wheel photos

Awesome picture! The perfect FD picture for my Iphone.
The new rims look good but i can't tell by the angle of the picture but does the rim stick out pass the fenders? Also any plans on side skirts or something in the rear?

the rear wheels need a little camber and it will be flush, i may get the front wheels cut, idk what im going to do with that yet. i dont want to cut the lip down, but +19 isnt working out for the front, may just use a smaller tire and get camber plates.
i havent came across sideskirts that I want, Ive been considering getting rid of the kit honestly, the carbon fiber fenders only line up with that bumper, oem fenders dont line up with the bumper so its kinda a pain in the ***.
maybe 99 spec bumper and get the shine lip spoiler for the rear. <still deciding.
recommendations? lol

Hey Karissa, hows everything? Like the new wheels. 
The Gunmetal would really set it off, but the polish looks good too. Id definitely get rid of the front bumper if I were you... The 99 spec front bumper with the Shine Auto Low Pro Spoiler is definitely one of my favorite FD looks. I just bought the Shine Low Pro Spoiler and RE-A street diffuser and am waiting to paint before I install them, I cant wait.
