Thanks Eddie!
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.

Can you post some pictures? I changed my mind (surprise), and I am going to do silver 19" bbs lm (more money than I thought, compared to the 18's) with red center caps and red bbs lugs. 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..

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.

Me too! They are something like $5,000, and they hold their value indredibly well, specfically 19's. Should run me close to 3 grand, for used ones from the motherland.

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).

Dont forget THIS IS NOT A TRACK CAR, I can 100% be objective to 19's on a track car.
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.

The problem is, Penske and JRZ are WAY out of my budget, especially for a street car. 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.

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.

I am still leaning towards a set of Aragosta's, maybe the Knight Sports version. Either way, I can attain a set of Ohlins or Aragosta's for less than $1500 with a limited amount of miles. No need to go over kill with a $3500 setup just because I can afford it, would rather spread the money.

Stock tire diameter is 24.85" on the 16" stock wheels, on a 255/30/19 it is 25.02", so it is a very minimum increase.
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.

lol i know, they are pretty sweet. Pricing on them is $1750 for the rz seats + $1200 for Fedex 3 day shipping from Japan (only available option) and than about $100 for North America shipping. So you can get them for a little under 3 grand and you dont have to wait 3+ months on shipping.
