This isnt a Veilside kit..its not meant to win car shows...its for the track...its helps with brake cooling downforce and overall areodynamics...the Cwest is another kit i know of that has proven areodynimc upgrade qualities as i believe they wind tunnel test all thier kits.

Open up a hyper rev sometime and look at some of the time attack cars in there. They are running setups almost identical to mine...so those guys must be on crack huh...I'm sure this kit doesnt have any areodynamic qualitiesm i bet it doesnt make any downforce. nah you know what make sure you keep your car stock ok. OH and ss for the rims...the rear offset is all wrong...totally...should have been a +28 offset there was some confusion when they were ordered from japan...If I'm gonna roll out to the track I'll throw the stockers back on make sure I'm all corner balanced and make sure my rear view mirror is nice and clean so i can see the look on your face real well.
Did you follow that link I sent ya? We're going on the sunday...make sure you bring a tent and lots of water..gets hot out there!!! Make sure you PM me when you register so I know to look for you. Im sure I'll have no problem spotting your batmobile! J/K

This is just my opinion, but:
1. Please, for gods sake, paint the car black, that silver/black thing is all out of balance and looks like absolute crap.
2. Use black rivets. Silver...just why?
3. If you plan to stick with those rims, at least get wider tires, those sidewalls going in like that, well if you corner hard enough, bye bye rim lip if the sidewall folds under at all.
This is just constructive criticism, it may have been the first part of an experiment or something, I dunno.
Are those vents functional on the front, like are there holes cut in the fenders and ducting coming from, I dunno, the brakes or something? Maybe they are used for something else? Maybe to evacuate hot air from the engine compartment? What about that rear diffuser, can it be trimmed to be flush with the rear bumper? It looks "off" sticking out like that.
If you like it, more power to ya, but the way it sits, lets just say.....it must be an aquired taste.
Its basically a nice car though.

Engine where u live in pittsburgh? I grew up out there...MR600 as for the tire thing I agree with you I wanted to do 255s but toyo is sponsering the car and i wanted to go with RA1s and since they only came in 245 or 275 in 18s I had to basically go with the smaller size to try to get everything to fit. So it was a compromise...as far as safety goes though I dont think its that big of a deal with the RA1s they have a super stiff sidewall.
