Yoo! I'm still here, so is the car.. everything is still the same on the car, except I sold the Novel carbon aero to Paul aka Paulwall4.

Nothing new on the car, but if someone wants to buy my car.. I'm down to sell it. The car has just been sitting and collecting dust, last time I drove it was maybe 6 weeks ago. I love this car, but if someone can get some use out of it and can give it a good home, I'm all for it.

Also, to whoever reads this, please don't send PM's to me requesting dibs on parts. Hahaha. I've got so many of those. So if you don't see the parts posted for sale, then it's not for sale separately.

Damn man why not drive the car more often? You have a badass car. I am guessing you want to go different route?

Thanks! I just don't drive much because I drive my Prius for my daily, and I don't have much time to take my car anywhere. But every once in a while, I'll take it out for a short cruise. I'm going to take it out tonight for the 1st time in a while.

Lol. Still at it... who knows, one day I may decide to do so. That won't happen until the RCF is gone though, but if I still have my car, I would love to get another cf Novel aero kit.. this is the reason why I didn't part with it.

Update: Just ordered some custom Work Wheels 20x10, 20x11, custom colored lip and barrel, custom face color as well from my buddy.

What wheels did I get? You'll have to find out once they arrive and are on the car. I'll post up pics asap when they are here.

My buddy said the wheels will be done in 2 weeks, Work Japan has already confirmed my build. But what will take longer is the shipping because instead of shipping my custom set only via air, they will hitch hike it with the rest of the wheels in the container coming to Work Wheels USA. I'm not in a rush, so it's all good. I was surprised the wheels would be done so quickly for a custom set and new model.

Back in 2012, I bought 5 sets of 18x10/11 TE37SL (you actually have to buy 10 sets to get any custom work done thru Rays, but Mark @Ravspec was willing to buy the other 5 sets) so I can get custom colored done through Rays Engineering (Hi Metal Bronze/Diamond Black)... this took 6 months!! One reason being, they couldn't finish the whole order faster because the special aluminum alloy they use for their forged wheels was on back order.

But yeah, surprised when he said my Work wheels would be done in 2 wks in Japan.

It’s nice that they could do it so quick. By the way, I had 20x10 +35 fronts with 265/30/20 and it rubs on dips. And the lip sticks out of the fender unless you can camber the fronts more negative.

Did you try 255/30? My current Advan GT is 20x9 +38 (running a 5mm spacer, so effective offset of +33). I'm running 265/30/20 MPSS, I rub as well on dips. I think I'm just going to cut out the part of the fender liner that rubs.

20x10 +35 should fit as a 20x9 with about +22 offset, but since mine is 20x9 +38 with a 5mm spacer (+33), should only stick out about 10-11mm from my current set up. (if my calculations are correct).

Could you post a picture of your 10 +35 in fronts? At this point, I still have time to change my offsets.

You probably already sold the RC, but did you ever get a pic of those wheels on the car?

I will post videos/sound clips later on soon as I get back from my Asia trip. I will also get it dynod ASAP once I'm back! I know you guys are waiting for that, I just don't have time right now. I wonder if BP Auto has videos/sound clips, if so, please post up since I won't be able to for a while. If not, I'll eventually get to it once I'm back. Thanks again!!

Hope you guys like it!


Every time I see this it makes me want to order the Novel diffuser LOL
