BTW Em, you don't believe in the twin-scroll t3 housings for boost response? I have a 2.4L GSX w/HKS272 cams with a t3 twin-scroll 54 trim cold side/0.89 A/R hot side, and my friend has a 2.3L evo8 w/ HKS280 cams and a PTE5557 T3 0.82 A/R turbo. Mine spools significantly faster, 500-600RPM faster.

Emery, Can we get some more pics of the RPF1s? I have been planning on getting the 17 x 8 +35 RPF1s but I really like the aggressive look from the wheels on your car.

The rears look perfect and the fronts do stick out more than the rears but it don't look that bad in my opinion...in the picture below did you end up putting a spacer in the rear ?


Also, any fender modifications?

Until the car has all the weight in it and an alignment I do not want to comment on the setup. I want to make sure it works before I say it does.

Honestly, I think the aftermarket bushing might even be heavier. The benefit of them is going to be when you launch the car the bushing will not flex as much and will maintain your alignment specs.

what nav did you guys decide to go with for the double din? I'm running a Pioneer f90bt, it's amazing how little aftermarket nav systems have progressed given Android, tablets, etc etc...

I see. You're using the poly inserts with the mustache bar... That makes a LOT more sense.

None of this 'looks like a street car on the internet so we call it a street car' when its completely unbearable and annoying to drive stuff! haha

No nav. If you look close the car has a pocket where the radio went and the single din radio is relocated to the bottom of the dash. This car wont even have gauges in it.
