Sweet, I guess you do all the work on the RCF yourself ?

 

Yes, it's the only way I get what I want

 

Did you get a chance to take the beautiful RCF out? If so, how the ride? Any rubbing on the massive wheel & tire set up? You are one talented man!! I wish I had the knowledge like you to work on my own car.

 

No, I have not had a chance yet. Weather here has been crappy

Thanks.

 

Well, it sounds like TRD Japan isn't even taking orders right now for their RC-F goodies. My money was refunded by my contact in Japan and just now JPM refunded me some more money. Oh well, gotta wait, I guess..

 

Very nice! Your tire/wheel set up is intense...me likey! Those rears are getting really close to the max 3% allowed..but it looks sooo good!! I ordered the TRD manifold and strut brace CF package about 6 weeks back and I actually got an update it had shipped last Tuesday. I hope I don't get a refund notice like you did on your other parts. Will you be doing a set of headers as well? Last question, where did you find the Ti bolts and what size did you need? Really like the build =)

 

Hey thanks! I got the titanium bolts from Mettec. A lot of the bolts in the engine bay are M6x1.00, some 20mm in length and some 25mm. There are a few M8x1.25 bolts and nuts that I'm still waiting for from pro-bolts also.
Question for you, who did you order the TRD parts from?

Thanks.

 

I'm an owner of an online aftermarket parts store out of Las Vegas with strong ties to JDM market. Connections for this part in particular. I don't advertise in CL, so I can't really name it....got a warning before from the admins.

 

You have PM

 

 

Wheels are freaking bomb. Any shots of the rearend showing the tire width stance?

 

I'll try to take a few next time I take the car out

 

I had some ARP extended wheel studs layin' around so I decided to install them on the RC-F. ARP has only one part number for Toyota and Lexus applications and it's listed as IS300 application.

 

What are those wrinkles by the right rear fenders?

 

Vinyl tape Temporary of course, until I get the XPEL done.
