yes the car is still alive and ticking, albeit, put away for the winter.

swaped off the rota torques to enkei rpf1s...much much lighter. lost almost 4lbs per wheel.


and more weight reduction. VIS carbon fiber trunk. i didnt weigh it but it is definitely alot lighter then the oem trunk. imo it is a very nice CF trunk.





I've also added our 38mm EWG Setup and boy does this thing scream! It is absolutely amazing to drive on the street with the little td04 w/ EWG Kit. The boost comes on so fast and so hard...probably one of the most fun set ups i've ever driven. All of our other PnP goodies are on it as well which helps spool up a ton too. My next move is to swap the turbo for a vf30, but now i'm wanting to keep this td04 as long as possible because it is a blast to drive with the 38mm ewg.

Matt over at 555 motorsports has been tuning the heck out of this car and that as well has alot to do with the way the car runs..which is awesome. I would recommend him to anyone...he is a very smart tuner!


my guess is we may be in the 2500lb range now which was my goal.

now with more CF and new headlights. i'll be painting the mesh on the hood to some other color..not sure what color though. also, the headlight housing will probably be painted as well.

i'm really starting to like the old school front bumber with the newer headlights and hood...it just looks really classic.

Other than the scoop the hood looks like an OE rs hood to me. What's not to like.

i dont like the typhoon hood on it. it is awkwardly large and the curves of the car wont match up with it.

To each their own i suppose. We arnt by any means trying to make this car pretty by adding the carbon, just lighter. Either way i think it will look better once the mesh is off.
