Video is there I'm using Toyo R888s. I like them since I can street it and also drive to the track. But I do want to try out a full slick to see what the big fuss is all about

looks like you guys had fun.
I did. Hopefully some of us can do a track day together with our rotaries. I'm looking for another Barber track day in 3 months or so.

Because the gopro is mounted on the rollbar it's very loud in the video. Windshield video it's hard to notice.

I'm changing up the car a little for DGRR and street driving. Until the new 13b-rew is built(this time by me), I'm going to take off all the aero parts. New look in couple of days.

Hey if you dont mind me asking . i've been thinking of getting a Wing for the FD . Since its a street driven FD I was leaning more towards a 99 spec wing , but since its an FD and MPG's arent exactly great to begin with haha . I was wondering if maybe its worth sacrificing it for the extra grip at the track of the GT wing .

So since I know you had a 99 wing before , and now it seems you are removing your GT wing .

If you dont mind giving us a little review on each of them ?

Here is my honest opinion..

Personally, I don't think I'm that good of a driver to fully ultilize the GT wing.. I think I better work on just driving and not really worry about if GT wing was going to make a difference or not. That being said, APR wing did make a difference during my test before.

Some great shots of the car there .. That plastidip honestly looks great looks like a real paintjob even in those HD shots and protects the car ontop of all that your interrior..... man do I love it.

And dont sell yourself short . you passed quite a few cars in a mildly modded fd (POWERWISE) without even having Rcomps .

driving was very smooth good lines , BUT I am FAR from an expert LOL just seemed like a very well composed car . and you weren't getting passed by miatas so thats a good sign !

Car is stunning! I like it but would probably like it better if the tone was a little closer to gold. Sort of closer to amber like the lights hue lit in the turn signal to blend things better.
ie, http://www.houseofjapan.com/images/t...al-775x437.jpg


Your car though would make any color look good, btw is that painted or a plastidip?
