did you have to adjust the headlights after doing the RSR drop? nice ride btw!

 

No I did not adjust them after the drop. I'm sure they could use an adjustment but it hasn't bothered me yet. Thanks!

 

i just purchased my RC this past weekend with the intent to leave it be for as long as I can. BUT... I came across your build thread and shot that goal to hell. Totally digging your build so far!

 

Lol thanks man. It's been a great car!

 

What shop did you go to for your muffle delete? I'm down in San Diego and go up to OC every few weeks.

 

My buddy owns a race shop and he did a custom LFA style exhaust that we ended up taking off. Luckily he built the exhaust in two sections so we were able to take off the center section and just install quad tips for now. I'm hoping to one day finish the LFA exhaust/diffuser but we need to figure out how to do the diffuser the right way.

 

im looking to have a similar, if not the same muffler delete, quad tips exhaust. Totally digging the sound and the fact it does shave some weight off the car. The shop that did your exhaust looks like they did a good job and the welds look good from what I can see. Mind sharing the name of the shop?

 

That LFA style exhaust looks real good! Maybe raise the pipes and add a bottom piece with a black mesh grill just to hide the pipes and call it a day

 

I wish it was that easy! It needs a diffuser to cover part of it but yes mesh could be used in the middle.

 

Lmao I did make it sound easy huh?!
Would you happen to have more pics? What about a rear lip as the bottom part? Dang you would have to chop up the spare tire well to raise the pipes right? I'm sure you'll get it or influence JDM companies watch!!

 

Yeah we did a quick mock up and it would have looked pretty aggressive.

 

Finally found a specialty part that I have been searching for since purchasing this car. Should be here in 1 -2 weeks!

 

Paddle Shifter Extensions installed

I have been patiently waiting for a set of paddle shifter extensions to come out ever since I purchased the car last year. Now I would have preferred a direct replacement to our factory paddles but these extension attachments I found will get the job done just fine. The fit is spot on and shifts are firm like they should be. The installation only takes 5 minutes to do.

 

Those are beautiful! Where did you get them?

 

I also took a few pictures and videos from the starting grid of Fuel Run on this past Wednesday. It started in Malibu and ran all the way up the coast to Monterey Car Week.






















Also, while taking a few videos we noticed the car hit 60mph in 2nd gear. A lot of people on here thought that our cars wouldn't hit 60mph without shifting to 3rd gear first, so it's assuring to know that it can. I wonder if there would be any change in a 0-60 time if it was accomplished still in 2nd gear... (still not fast enough)
