I contacted Rajeet yesterday and he should get back to me today with some info, so we'll see.
Question on your exhaust system as I didn't see it referenced in the thread. Do you have the Ti (titanium) or SUS (Stainless Steel) system. Any idea if there is any sound difference between the two? By the way, love your car. VERY tastefully done.

(P.S. - I spelled out titanium and stainless steel to help the response/info be easier to search not because I thought you would know what the acronyms meant)

Thanks! It's stainless, titanium would make the note a little bit louder due to the material I believe.

Thread updated!

I want that.


Any chance you could grab those wheel offsets if possible? We're about to order some VS-308s and could use the info. Looking at +20 (F) +25 (R)

This build just keeps getting better and better. What plans do you have for the future? It seems like you keep pushing the boundaries of your build and it just keeps getting better. Very nice build sir. Hit me up some time soon to catch up.
