Nope, I recently put together a new vented hood using old school RE Louvers, so basically a RE hood. Also soon Im tearing out every last piece of stock wiring, and doing a complete rewire with a new haltech e8 and aim strada dash unit. Ill take some pics then, I wish I could afford nice paint, but I figure performance>then looks

like mine?



BTW what is offset on the wheels? and how much cutting (if any) to clear the wheel and the overfender pieces, i really dont see the need for wide fenders if i can use these

nice hood Mine is similiar except the louvers on at the sides of the hood, Also mine are not molded in, which Im still deciding if im going to. The wheels are +22 front and +18 rear 17x9 and 17x10. i had to run a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the coilovers, The wheels "could" fit a a stock body, in the front you need maybe 5-10mm of clearance form the wheel, in the rear, you would need to roll the fender. Im hoping someday Ill be able to have a half decent car, I just hate body work, im bad at it, and its expensive!

The pics on the front page are probably about the best youll get of the clearance. I dont have any others at the moment, and the shape the car is in at the moment, I wouldnt dare take any pics of it.

What alignment specs are you running? How do you like the way it handles? Corner balanced?

I'm trying to balance out the handling in my fc. I'm missing rear camber adjusters though, but I don't want to get thrown into SM :p

havent had a chance to make any decent alignment adjustmets, or good track time to do it. Basically just tossed it together, did a autox, and its been sitting in the garage. Im waiting to do any settings until I get the car where I want it engine wise, and Im able to get to a track. It doesnt handle like I think it should though (due to no adjustments) It is OK through faster corners, but understeers badly in slower. Sorry, Ill have some settings hopefully soon.

should look stellar with an RE style hood on it, very cool.
I bet the re-wire will be ton of fun, but it will be a much better setup in the end, props.

my car sits awaiting a ton of work as well, damn this weather.

thanks to a leak, the guy who had the car before re did the carpet, but used some house carpet padding underneath, and the water became trapped and well rust happens I really want to repair it during this rewire, but Ill have to wait till the car runs since, i dont have a welder,and the rust took a good toll on that cross brace that the stock seat mounts to. So all that will be getting cut removed, and re welded.

apex gt spec, which i kinda think is gay, considering it reduced to 2.5 in for about 3 inches. Im going to eventually cut that section off, and reweld to make it an entire 3 inch.

PS: I cant believe this thread is still going,lol
