Hahaha, your car kinda looks like mine, very good taste for the combination .

Tires sizes?
I want so badly that cf bonnet, but it's a little difficult to get in my country.

Nice mods, Keep it coming!

I actually ended up buyin it from a member on another forum for really cheap... 130 bucks actually because it looked like this when I got it...


I spent the weekend sanding and Polishing to bring the carbon back.

Thanks man, I don't have much in the way of performance yet... Shifter, bushings, rrm UDP and I bought flip's blox front roll stopper... I'll be getting into the performance side this summer.

great job repairing the cf. Looks slick
Thanks, it took some work but I think it looks good. Lol

ya I love the shift knob. Well worth it. It's got some weight behind it too so the shifts are nice and quick

Thanks dude, I'm trying to do what I can, but beingin school makes things difficult. The little bit of extra cash I get goes towards new mods, so it coming along, just slowly lol

2 things...

Just a heads up, if you use your ralliart as a daily driver, and its NOT garage kept, you most likely need to re-finish the carbon fiber hood once a year, or once every 2 years at least. Sun/weather will destroy it and re-finishing it will bring it back to new year after year. I never did it. regretting it.

2nd thign is the nitto neogen tires. how drastically did they help your trastion and launching the car? compared to stock tires?

Thanks for the tip, I'll be getting my hood re-cleared before I put it back on this summer. I was a detailed for Mercedes Benz for close to 4 years so I have a buffer and all the compounds and polishes to keep it looking new between re-finnishings.

The neogen's are amazing. I've had them on the car for 2 seasons going into my third and I absolutely love them. Great improvement over stock, dry and wet conditions. When it comes time to replace the them I'll be going for another set. I would strongly reccomend them to anyone in the market for new summers. Launching is a great improvement aswell. 3k launches with to no wheel spin when warm as opposed to stock spinning right through and into 2nd. Great tire for the money spent.

nice nice. I need to get 4 tires for my 17's. I think these will be the tires I get. Than i need 2 drag slicks to put on the Volk's i might be buying soon. Later down the road of course. My tires now are bald as hell, so i'll be getting these neogen's. Thanks for the advice.
