Really love the CF side diffuser on silver cars. Im really tempted to pick up a few CF goodies like this. Great looking F!

Do you have any rolling shots that are similar to rig shots? With your type of wheel design, I believe an anodized brake caliper would look amazing on the road.

BS. There's no such thing for a one off. Cassette bearings are made in quantity only. There is no way with current technology to make a one off cassette or a "custom order" cassette bearing. You're talking trash.

Keep on topic guys and those who post.... do so only if you care to "share" honest information with the community.

In the spirit of sharing honest information with my own original content.

I decided to put the Greddy Supercharger on last week for a test fit and I got carried away...I ended up shearing off (in fairness it was JB Welded by 0-60 Mag) a nub at the end of the right fuel rail (it went to the 9th injector which I am not using) and tried welding it and sealing it with epoxy and didn't look great/questioned it's reliability. So I ordered a new set of fuel rails, it took a while to figure out who made them no surprise they were LS/SC/GS 430 (3UZ) fuel rails. The good thing is it gives me time to baseline it before I put it back on. I also made a rookie mistake and had the coil pack connectors swapped for cylinder 4 and 6 luckily I caught it quickly. When I have a baseline again and once the s/c goes back on I will make a thread with my results and findings (and of course more video).

Installed swift springs (front only). Working alone with hand tools, the install took about 2.5 hours start to finish.

I am very happy with the look, and I do not feel any loss in handling performance. The ride is 95% as smooth as stock, very slightly harsher, but barely noticeable until you hit larger potholes.
