Does it rub on the fenders at all with tyre combo you have right now? I know the MPSS have a chubby sidewall.

Thanks. :thumbup:

Luckily I was able to grab probably one of the last sets sold in the States! Had to have them! :cool:

No rubbing when it was at stock height. Since it was lowered on the BC BR coilovers, it catches the inner wheel arch liner on the drivers side with more than half lock. :(

I'm going to get the shop to raise it up enough to stop this happening when they do my gauge install though. :thumbup:

:D:D:D

It does sound awesome! :thumbup:

Went to a show recently where I had a few guys drag racing a GTR ask me to fire it up and give it some rev's! :cool::D

Heard him say to his mate how it sounded much better than the C63! :woot:

Be interesting to see what the PPE headers will do to the soundtrack. ;):)

Let me know when you find a LHD car to work on :)

Are you sure they aren't the same?? I thought JDM / USDM were the same exhaust wise...

There was a young lad snapping photos with a proper camera as well. :) I'll add those photos plus the exhaust comparison video once he's uploaded them. :)

Was nice to have 7 F's, 1 RC-F and a few other models in attendance. :cool:

Cheers.

Beautiful F :thumbup:

Thanks. :thumbup:

Hoping 2016 will be another strong year for the F. :cool:

Hopefully picking up my RR Racing Titanium intake in a couple of weeks.

Also working out a deal for the new seats at the moment. :)

Gauges will be going in once I get my interior bits back from the carbon skinner. :)

Yep, that's on the "to-do" list as well! Lol. ;)

Might have to wait a bit though to save up some more cash! :(

It's getting there though. :thumbup:

Big fan of your car dude, so means a lot to me. :cool:

Can't wait for my bonus from work, got plenty more lined up once the money arrives! ;)

Seats, retrim my steering wheel, install the last bits of interior trim with real carbon, install the Defi gauges, RR-Racing titanium intake, rework my headlights.....

Hoping to send the steering wheel off in a couple of weeks. That way they can work their magic whilst I'm in Tampa on business. :cool:
