Wow! So you couldn’t get a vanity plateabbreviation LFOD?

Your New Hampshire state motto is Live Free Or Die.

I’d move!
Instead go for LFOMFD… it’s not cursing like it appears, more politely politically correct, youbetcha’:

Live Free or Make Friends Disappointed.
🙇🏽✌🏼
Apparently it’s not all abbreviations but “certain letter/character combinations, such as H8, will not be allowed.” So I prob could’ve gotten away with it for sure. Oh well lol

Tackling some mods that have been put off time after time for over a year now 😵 @fatherpain's write-up definitely came in handy!

Bought a second set of control arms so these RV6 parts can be installed and swapped over easier

Another project! PCI Seat Mount w/Sliders + Recaro Pole Position FIA. Mounting the seat to the PCI kit was pretty easy, it takes more time to actually assemble the mount and rails as it comes in pieces. We only removed the seat belt buckle assembly and sensor from the OEM seat, and mounted it to PCI. The Airbag Light is currently ON, we're going to figure out a resistor kit and test this setup for a bit before making an all-in-one solution available.

The seat itself feels great! At just about it's highest position I'm about 1.5-2" lower than the OEM seat, and am ok with driving situations for the most part - drive-thru and exiting parking lots I am extra careful to not hit or go over a curb (I'm 5'9"). 6'2" and up thinner build folks, you'll really love these especially if you're tracking your car with a helmet! Due to the seat's thin frame, even sitting beside myself I feel the leg room has doubled. Comfort wise, the first 24 hours was a bit awkward getting in and out, but over the weekend it got better and I haven't gotten out of these with a sore back or butt. My torso is being held firmly in place, and the bolsters are just tall and solid enough that my legs won't need to brace the door panel as I sometimes did with the OEM seats. Seating position feels nice and upright, there are 2 more positions to lean them back if I wanted.

Prepped it for NY-Indy-St. louis drive for a stop at Graham Rahal Performance and then on to WWTR for the Indycar weekend.

PCI > Planted

When I did mine, I unbolted the bottom of the seat belt, and ran it through the hole on the left side bolster and rebolted it to the car, helps with it fitting around your waist a bit better.

Thanks. I'll try this mod. Did you need a bracket for the horn in the back?
Nope the type r and Si come with the dual horns, so these new ones literally mount to the same spot.

Carbon Front & Rear Bumper, Apr splitter (that I already broke), homemade canards & a somewhat homemade chassis mount

:flame:Before I get dragged I’d like to clarify and say both bumpers are Carbon overlaid. Took a couple months to make ( I bought them off a buddy of mine) but he uses your oem bumper to make it happen. Which I personally like because it keeps the perfect oem fitment. Yes I know I don’t benefit anything from this besides a couple ounces of more of weight (tbh I don’t really care I’m pushing more than enough power to keep up) & the “what in the world” faces I get on the street but I like :nixon:
Please ignore the ugly splitter it’s a temp until I get my js racing front aero goodies and also ignore my weak quick release 😭😂 new one coming soon

If anyone wants to see a better view of my rice bucket I uploaded a reel on instagram: @StockFk8
