Formal Intro: Moderu

Comptech installed and sounds great. As posted by others, just a little louder than stock, but still very audible.


Haven't gotten an alignment after my coilovers, so I decided to visit the guys at RPM Auto in Irwindale, CA.


Better view of the Comptech on the Hunter Alignment Ramp before it went up.

Before vs. After alignment specs


I wanted a street setup, but ready for some spirited driving. Still not sure it was the best choice to have them emulate 02-05 stock specs. I'm on Toda Coilovers with stock sways all around and running standard tire sizes (215/40/17 & 265/35/18).

Back at Mission Auto today for my wax and polish

Possible mini shoot coming.....

Show off:biggrin:

nice

Thx Fellas! JC...I'm not the one with a Yellow NSX :wink:

How much for a polish?

I'll find out for you because he gave me a discount. :biggrin:

Adrian,

I spoke with Warren from Mission Auto. He said they are too tied up with a few classic restorations and basic operations, so no time for the small stuff for a while. Sorry.

Kenny

aaaawww, its ok. Find out anyways what they normally charge. I wont be home for 5 months anyways but when I come back and take her out of the garage, I want her polished but Im too lazy to do that myself.

I have an opportunity to pick up a set of BBS LMs for a good deal, so I'm going to post my Racing Hart C2s for sale soon. Just wanted to let SoCal primers get first dibs. Call, text, or pm me if you're interested. I'm running 10mm hubcentric spacers all around and they sit perfectly on my car. Offsets are unknown because stickers are missing inside rim. SOLD!!!
17x7.5 w/ Potenza S-03 215/40/17
18x10 w/ Falken 452 265/35/18

Having 2nd thoughts on the BBS LMs because they're 18s all around. Should I do it??? I have a new set of S. Drives 17/18 and would need to buy a pair of new tires for the front.

I'm thinking about...

1. 17/18 LMs in Silver or Gold
2. 18/18 LMs in Gold
3. 17/18 Work VSXX in Gold

Decided to use my Yokohama S. Drives, so I went with BBS LM in Silver.

17x8 +35
18x9 +35

BBS LM fitment







The REAR could use a 5-8mm spacer for more flushness, but I refuse to use spacers. One of the reasons I sold my Racing Hart C2s was because I didn't want to run spacers. FRONT fitment is perfect IMO.

Good choice on the LMs Kenny, car is looking NICE! We gottta get an NSX meet going. I can finally drive my car again! Jason, plan something! hahaha

Have you weigh your 17/18 LM? If yes, can you post their weight? Thanks

Looks good. If you're looking for more flushness and refuse to use spacers why not reverse the faces to inside the lips on the LM's?

Ric,

Sorry, I didn't weigh the wheels prior to installation, so I'm unsure. I tried to check this site but did not find my exact specs.

17x8 +35
18x9 +35

Chris,

If I reverse the face, it's going to be a +20, so I think it'll poke out. Plus, it'll look funny with the face reversed only in the rear.

I recently polished my rear strut bar, but didn't like the look of the stock bolts. Ended up picking up some new black bolts for a cleaner look from a local Pepboys. The sizing is M8 1.25 if anyone is interested in doing this. If I end up removing my engine cover, I'll probably pick up some bolts to replace the stock ones as well. The zinc colored OEM ones are dirty looking.

I want to convert my vacuum hoses to steel braided or high temp red silicone ones. Besides aesthetics, any +/- to converting?

Holy crap! And I thought I modded my cars quickly. Try not to burn out too quickly.

^ I agree. I need to slow down. Calculated all the money I spent in the past few months and it's not pretty.

You need to go into rehab, that is mod rehab like I did recently:redface:. It does get outa hand pretty easy with these cars. I had to stop looking in the for sale section here.
