What the ****? lol...

YEAH YEAH THATS TOTALLY NORMAL.... not.

There is something wrong with your car if it's riding like that.

yeah i know they always said the r1 suspension is pretty stiff but damn. hopefully the headlight cover will come in time or it'll look pretty goofy...I'll probably just bring the Taco instead.

I have a 3rd Gen but it has aftermarket tokico shocks and eibach springs...
But maybe your headlight cover was loose because not even an F1 car is stiff enough to throw parts off.

BTW bl00dlust what color is your car now?

I want to ask that you bring your 3rd Gen because if your selling it, I would like to see it. I need to add to my collection. Plus I feel like having another motor to mess around with.

with sports cars the suspension is going to wear out faster, also people forget to tune their suspension, you cant just slap on some springs and drive, there is actually quite a bit of tuning involved when it comes to suspensions

True that i did alot of research before performing a suspension. From what i have read anything over 1'' is pointless. you center of gravity gets fucked up and the suspension becomes unable to do its job properly.
Bloodlust...car looks nice. Good job.

Just noticed your FD was CYM. I gotta see that. I wish I had CYM and I could get it painted that color if I want but I think the VIN has a color code which would lower the value if I needed to sell (I'd have to be stupid to sell this thing) so I'll keep it factory red.

I just wanna see Elisa's car. I want a TII but can't find any.
Need to replace my ShitStang.

But my only concern is how many little issues does your car have? I would need a full run down on how to keep your **** running.
