HaiSaiJDM Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm not big on white wheels, and with agressive brake pads, I had to clean them every single time I even tapped the brakes, haha. Also the stock wheels were 23lbs a piece, way too heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaiSaiJDM Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 I didn't want to, but I ended up running a 3mm slip on spacer on the front to clear the coilovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaiSaiJDM Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 sorry but i think this just looks cleaner It's not something I would do, but it looks decent. Main reason I went away from white wheels is because of the brake dust. When you run big brakes, aggressive brake pads, and drive like I do, your wheels will be completely filthy every single day. I didn't like having to clean my wheels on a daily basis, so I chose another color. The only colors I think look good on white are bronze and black (gold if you have a Subie), so I went with bronze. Now I can go 4 or 5 days without really noticing the brake dust too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaiSaiJDM Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 I dunno, I'm debating it now, I don't think I need that much extra power. I pretty much mopped the floor with all of the competition today at our Gymkhana/AutoX event. The only guy who was close to me was 0.2 seconds off, and he was driving this: Good friend of mine, it's a Lotus Exige with a catalog full of mods. Ohlins suspension, supercharged, Hoosier A6 slicks, titanium exhaust, carbon all over the place, etc, etc. My first time out with my new suspension/tire setup and I beat him, and actually after we did our official timed runs we had fun runs and I figured out how to knock another 2-3 seconds off my lap times. So I think once I get my header and ECU, maybe get some cams, intake, and throttle body and I'll be good on power. If I would have had a proper alignment I could have carried more speed and dropped another 2-3 seconds. Alignment is scheduled for next week. I had a great time today, the car was absolutely amazing with the new suspension setup and Advan AD08 tires. I could get the rear end to step out and move around pretty much whenever and however I wanted it to, it was nice. Took me several runs to get used to it, and I've still got a lot of learning to do, so there's much more room for improvement without changing any more parts.

Joe W Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Indeed it would seem that power isn't necessary at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
