Damn that r888/rpf1 combo is so sexy. I never thought I'd hear myself saying tires are sexy but those hit the spot.

Let me know what you think of that fuel pump. I've been considering going a similar route but I'm still on the fence.

 

I will def let you know!

Here is some more fittings for the revamped fuel system! & my cleaned injectors from ID

 

5 injectors?

 

Those were the five I got cleaned from ID I have a 6th that is brand new on its way.. But my buddy Robert is going to use 2 of the ID1000 injectors for his build.

 

=D yes indeed I am!

 

My 18x9.5 15mm front rims came in and I put 275/35/ZR18s on them

 

Koni Yellows with Eibach springs 720 front 550 rear

 

shawn is this a drag car?

 

manny, what do you see that makes you think "drag car" ?

 

What makes you think that Aaron? I plan on doing Road course Scca adventually.

 

At BIR? Is that wheel to wheel?

 

I believe there are different options, Id prefer to it not be wheel to wheel more like time attack but we will see... cant get the licence till next may.

 

Just wondering why you went with koni yellows out of all the different brands. Just wondering, totally thought you would go with some Zeals or penski's/cusco/dg5's etc

 

I honestly didnt know what to get... Elliot suggested the Koni's and he could set me up with something that he new worked great so I went with it.

 

i had koni yellows on my previous FD on stock springs and it was great.

are those koni yellows and ground control threaded bodies? i'd imagine that was less than $1000 and should outperform a lot of the stancebro coilovers.

 

It was more then $1000 but I think with the custom setup it cost a little extra...

 

Well I think I might be back in Minnesota next May so can I drive too?

 

Should be a couple FDs on the track this year

 

I used to do a lot of shock repair and rebuilding etc and this setup has always worked a lot better than those brands in my experience. Most of those units don't do much dampening; their valving setup just doesn't do much, and their spring rates aren't much good unless you are on a glass track.

 

Not sure how you are all going to feel about this... but I wanted my car to be 1 color for this season and my pockets are not all that deep... soooo



Excited to see how it will turn out.. doesnt have to be perfect.

 

in for pics. i considered doing this for my car

 

Irony?? lol

 

YESSSSSSSS. i have mine too, just been lazy to get it done. cant wait to see pics.. i dont think plastidip is "great" but its a damn great solution and the results are acceptable in my book. its a lot nicer driving a car not worrying about a 5-7k paint job!!


ps i really want rpf1s

 

I might have my set up for sale

 

I say leave it in the box just for that picture. It'll give you something to think about if you ever do have a fire.

I really think you're making a mistake with that plasidip being that the original paint is there and doesn't seem bad at all. You just need to paint a bumper cover to match and it shouldn't be that expensive.
But you seem like the kind of guy who needs to learn the hard way so I think you'll do what you plan to do no matter what anyone tells you.
