The shop that is installing and working on this POS: Trackspec Autosports in Fremont, CA












Whiteline ALK/RCA/Swift Springs


Voltex fenders test fitting and adjustments- Alignment to make sure fitment is on point for the bigger tires/wheels. Had very minor issues but they were solved fairly easily.


Car is now awaiting a color match as well as reinstallation of fenders.

Will update the thread when the rest is completed!

 

Just got some new parts

2) Maasimo Power Rear diff
3) AMS Front Xmember

Awesome car!
I just hooked up with R7 Hoosiers for show at the moment but id like to try them at the track someday

 

Hahaha I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now. Keep it up Hurley!

 

Fenders now installed. Looks SUPER good.

 

Great build man, I have an Evo 8 and this truly has inspired me!

Have are the exact specs on your RPF1s? I have been trying to get a pair myself. I see that you have 285/30/18 for tires, did you have any fitment issues? my Evo is a daily driver.

Thanks for any input!

Jose
