Ultimate Build Thread: Project EVOL
I like the tires. I actually take this car up and down Palomar Mountain and to Julian where the roads get real twisty. It's literally a 1 mile drop if i fell off the side, but these tires have no let me down. The grip is crazy, no tire screeching, no losing grip, no worries so far.
Thanks for the comments everyone
bang all at once lol! Epic build!
For the headlights, did you guys just used a blow dryer to separate the lens and the housing? What sealant did you use to put them back? thanks!

I'm 100% with you chrome on red looks sick (that's what's on my Sky). However I'm 100% opposed to chrome on Evo, don't know why. It works well on your car, don't get me wrong, just not the direction I'd go.
Regardless, it's a sick project and you've done well!
Please "review" your new titanium pieces, they're next on my list.

No tune, I think I spoke to chris or Michael at ETS and they said theres no need for it unless I'm racing it or looking for more power, which I am but not right now. I will be in April

have you tried some of the new performance tires that are available? starspec's, re01's, ad08's, rs3's if you live in a dry climate. if you haven't tried those out you should next time you need tires. you'll be in for one hell of a surprise... but then again if you don't track your car you may not notice a difference
Thank you!
I hope you don't take this as me trying to be an ***, just giving you some suggestions. I'm definitely not saying you should get rid of your current Nitto's, no reason to throw out new tires. Just saying when you need new tires you should get something more modern. Tires have been one of the biggest automotive advances in the last 10 years even, and the NT555 are a 20 year old design... and just to be clear, when I say design, I mean tread compound, not what it looks like
btw, are those standard KW V3's or Robispecs?

thanks, coming together for sure.
Yeah, definitely a short amount of time, wont be doing anything till I find out whats next for the car
Varis Wide Body (maybe, pics of it are iffy) just so I can fit 18x12 all around. Then a twinscroll GT35R turbo, then it gets hectic from there. We'll see, when the time comes, it'll come
Yeah I knew you weren't being an ***
these are the standard. I have a whole different suspension setup for track its a surprise 
Thanks!

PS2's are also outdated tires now... the replacement for those is the Pilot Super Sport. but those are street tires, some of the tires I listed above would be better for the track, or all out r comp tires. Nitto also makes more modern tires, NT05 for really good street tires (don't want these if you see rain regularly) and NT01 for r comp
