VERY upset I have to sell my amuse and arc exhaust http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...xhausts002.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...xhausts018.jpg |
sorry if i missed it but how come you decided to sell your arc ti exhaust?
can wait to see what you come up with when its all finished! |
It seems like you're taking a similar route to the one I'm taking with my FD...
I'm goin with the Feed front bumper, sides and hood, Ganador or Craftsquare mirrors (undecided) and a rear diffuser of sorts... I'm rolling on a set of Volk GT-Cs 18x9 and 18x10 though....I dig the 5 spoke look. |

Got the rear bumper on today, I am going to put the diffuser on once it gets painted. The car is currently: VR, laser red, montego blue, white, black, and carbon fiber. Car needs to be dropped atleast 1.5", need to sell some of these parts to buy suspension. Car is EXTREMELY dirty, haha you can see all the fingerprints on the hood. I think the work vsxx just dont fit the look of this car, need to find a new wheel.[/IMG]

Wait, you have to sell the Amuse Exhaust already? Didn't you JUST get it? Why do you need to sell it?

Snapped a quick pic of the car today, need to sell the seats and arc ti to finish up ordering parts before paint. Projecting the car to be finished at the end of March.

Seems like the craftsquare mirrors mount via the small triangular plastic piece near the factory mirrors, thus exposing the stock mirror mounting holes when you remove them. Ganador mounts up via factory holes, which is a bonus in my book when comparing them.

Craftsquare mirrors attach to the stock holes:
https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3177...5c33f7acc9.jpg Ganador mirrors attach via the stock holes and double sided tap to the triangle. Project has come to a halt, all my money is tied up in rx7 parts from Japan that people are asking for. I am still waiting on my mazda speed r-spec front bumper, might sell it or keep it. Authentic 99 tails coming next week for my car, 7lust conversion tails will be for sale. Here is whats left for the exterior build: FRP ad9 hood Re-amemiya mirrors FEED turn signal covers maybe mazda speed r spec front bumper? hre wheels |
You should order the RE-A stuff this 7 stock when they come here. They usually do free shipping.
Makes it easier. |
Dear diary, JACKPOT:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/purerx7/bbslm.jpg http://www.e-tire.co.jp/ferrari_page/bbs-lm_f1-f.jpg Thanks to Ganesh, I have found my new wheel. |
I'm partial to the RGRs personally......
Good to know on the craftsquare mirrors btw, thanks for setting me straight :) |
Good to know. Just save up and find some used 19s or 18s you wanted.
My friend in japan with an R33 GTR was selling a perfect set 18 x 10? or 11? all around set in gold for under 3000 USD so they exist. :) Edit: look what i found (examples). http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BBS-L...spagenameZWD1V http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1649 |
if memory serves me correctly craftsquare actually has 2 versions. 1 that mounts up to the stock holes 2 replaces the triangle and is mounted there

I have the Craftsquare mirrors that mount to the triangles, they are well constructed. One thing that you should consider with all your twin weave carbon, is that they only come in the jdm 1x1 weave. You could have them rewrapped or painted though, extra expense on already expensive parts. The doors do look better with mirrors mounted to the triangles. Too bad nobody makes mirrors that mount higher on the doors like on the Furai or Testarossa.

BBS lm's my fav all time wheel. DROOL!.. But seriously, your vs-ssx I believe? those rims are sweet too. Just remove those homosexual pink lug nuts and your set!

Going to run me close to $350 to pick these up http://www.bbs-japan.co.jp/b_img/pro...gnutkit200.jpg identical to this setup with red centercaps and red bbs lugs. https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC00559.jpg |
I personally think that 18s look just right on a FD. I've yet to see 19s that looked GREAT on a 7, they look just a bit off. Just my opinion, heck if you go in that direction you might save yourself a few bucks.
|
+1... 19's seem a bit much IMO...
|
I'm going to have to agree on this one...19 seems to be a bit much. BUT if anyone can make it work you can. I say save the dough and put towards something else
|
Another vote for 18s (or 17s ;))......
|
Couple things to remember here:
1. Since the bbs lm has a step lip, visually the wheel looks smaller than it is, specifically on mesh wheels. I feel like my 18" work vs-xx look like they are 17", which IMO is due to the mesh design, as a 5 spoke 18" looks 18". 2. a 265/30/19 and a 265/35/18 have the same tire diamaeter, so the car is not going to be sitting any higher than it would on my current wheels. Plus I have suspension coming in soon. 3. Re-sale on 19" bbs lm is great, I will probably make money if I had to re-sell them, so if they are too big I will just sell them. 4. I think the 18" bbs lm wheel just is not full enough, and looks really small, but IMO the 19" looks 100x better. The problem is, you guys here 19" wheels and you starting running, which would be understandable if it were a track car. 5. One of my last sets of wheels were 19" Advan Sienna Generation 2, the bbs lm's will look smaller, so I think it will be just right. 19's here: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...x7/rx72026.jpg |
As I said...if anyone can make it work..you can. =)
