Yea Phil was trying to help us diagnose what was wrong with Derek Bianski's drift FD. His car looked purdy in the prosport booth.

Looks good of course!

How the heck are you still running stock check valves on that joker? Give me a PM and I'll get you a set of my Viton ones!

Thanks Eddie! Hopefully the car will look even better with some new stuff

I was going to put my RE30s but didn't have the right lugs for them.

No pics from IA.. I didn't bring my SLR and didn't snap a thing at IA. But there were some really nice cars there.

The JDM rears covered in the Bride fabric look awesome! I would love to do that to mine but I don't have Bride front seats so I think it would look a bit cheesy. Love it on your car tho!

Couple of more pics from the IA..





These are taken during my break down.. I had to disconnect the starter and push start the car as starter was constantly spinning..

When I got home, I troubleshoot the car and found that oil or some liquid was making contact between POS cable to the starter and starter solenoid harness..

Also, I had a chance to get something SUPER rare.. It should be coming in tomorrow..

Update..

I decided to swap out my RE-A speedo and put it into a new more rare cluster..

So, I swapped it into the 30th anniversary cluster..



Another reason for doing this is because 30th anniversary lights up in green

I decided to swap out my other gauges with the new Prosport Gauges, the EVO series..



I kind of like the digital read out.

That boost gauge looks sharp! I also dig the cluster with the red RE-Amemiya logo, that's bad ***!
