Just brought over this mazda speed downpipe for a fellow forum member, pretty rare piece, MSRP was something close to $1500. I also have a titanium re-amemiya exhaust coming in soon that will be for sale, the downpipe has been sold. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12.../mspeed006.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12.../mspeed002.jpg |

Have only seen a few 18" bbs lm's on fd's, but never 19", the 19's make the spokes much more "full" and proportionate, the step-lip should help make the wheel appear smaller than a typical 19" too..

This car needs to be slammed like that white BMW or it aint gonna work. LOL I have been thinking, maybe I should just fly you out here and you can build my car. lol. We are always on the same page. It will be LOW, probably on a set of Ohlins, Zeals, Quantums or Aragosta's; it just depends on what I can find and for how much. Bryan

18s :score:
19s :facepalm1: There are plenty of samples of 7s that look hot with 17s or 18s. I can't say the same for a seven with 19s....not one. |

I have a tendency to think of too many different cars and how i would build them. Some people think i am insane or some people really like my style as it can be over the top sometimes. I want someone with a white ron fellows edition C6 Z06 to let me run amok with it because i know exactly what i would do if i had one. LOL. I am just a loser with too many ideas and too much free time. I can't wait for new wheels for the GT-R. Probably SSR Professor MS-1s. (I might actually even go 17s so i can go lower for the street. Buy a set of 18s for the track later (so i can run a fatter tire and raise up the car for track). |

Have you considered Penske 2/3 way or JRZ suspension? They make a lot of stuff to order and it's pretty damn good stuff too. Aragosta and Quantums are a little bit more difficult to service here in the states. The Ohlins and Zeals are great options too with plenty of US support.

I can get any Aragosta, Zeal suspension etc for less than $1500. Nice, never have seen the ms-1's in person, and they are not overly expensive either. |
D-CUPS's FD has pretty spot on fitment.

DCUPS is the only one that I would agree with you on. Hey, are you still sporting the automatic transmission and lambo doors on your ride?

(Just curious, as I've never seen that before.) |

Question:
What is the benefit of having a downpipe that seperates into two piece? (Just curious, as I've never seen that before.) No updates for a two or three weeks, as my laptop broke and just dropped $700 on a new dual screen setup and desktop. |

Damn brian, this could possibly be the BEST makeover anyone has ever done on this forum. I cant wait to see the end result.
Thats cool you're doing the 5spd swap, i was just gonna ask you about that. I thought you already did it before, i remember you talking about it a couple of years ago. |

Bryan,
I have a few more ideas for you.... Markers Racing has a nice Red torque brace (I'll probably as you to find me one too if you like it) Auto Exe has a sick Strut brace front and rear they are bright F ing red Yeah I know you have the feed strut already. I like your steering wheel choice, I want the same thing too just with YELLOW stitching to match my car wish i could find one like that. I like the ver2 bumper it is just so mean looking and i like that you filled in the plate hole. You have alot of the same ideas that I do for mine, I think I am going to try and find these front fenders (it as a attachment) and a burnout rear fender flare. I have ken at shine getting ready to work on making me a special custom set of twill weave feed skirts. You know the wheels i want already ;), a set of Stance coilovers (would love some Ohlins but that is so expensive) As for engine work that will be my after school time. |
Depending on what you want to do with the car, the Ohlins may ending being more than worth it.

AST Suspension seems like a quality option too.
Can't go wrong with aragostas though. |
so with 19's will you be running a larger than stock tire diameter

Just brought over some recaro rz seats for a customer, super sweet seats and very comfortable. This makes it a tough decision on wether to do the spirit r's or those gt seats I posted earlier, hmmmm. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...ecarorz004.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...ecarorz010.jpg |
:drool: you sir are evil! I love the Rz seat over the spirit-R seats
