What did you do to your Type R today?

[ctrmofo]

they have any reps in hawaii?

i don't believe so but like would ship via ocean freight due to the 5 ton weight of entire lift and components. mine was shipped by railway from texas to ohio then crane lifted piece by piece into the garage for the installation.

check with brad the founder/owner of ac lifts. they're hq'ed in san diego, but all manufacturing is done in ft. worth, tx. this is the only single post lift made with american grade steel, not chinese grade which is what most are made with, ie, bendpak and others. friend of mine had a bendpak single post that leaned over and eventually bent. luckily his beloved ford gt was not on it at the time. i refuse to buy a lift made with chinese grade steel.

@ctrmofo unrelated, but when's the Performante coming?

i'm being wishy washy on it and have not taken up my order slot even though deposit been there for nearly 2 years. reason being 2019 is end of production run for the performante and the next special edition model to follow for 2020 my. they always do a lightweight and crazy version after each special run...so i'm waiting for some news before final decision on configuration.

Man, i like the "Gundam" sticker!! In fact, I always felt the front/headlights were designed based on a "Gundam" figure, or the designer must be a big fans!!

Any rubbing issues with your PRL DP??

Thanks! I agree. The front end does have a Gundam resemblance.

No rubbing issues.

Nice list that's almost dead on what I'd like to do to mine and stop there. Have you got a custom tune I'm real curious what it makes. Most the same parts I'll buy too haha

 

[ctrmofo]

Do you have a price on the top pipe coating yet?

 

[Zipsta]

Contact Evasive Motorsport. Ask for Randy. You can also do a core exchange to save some money. Also, depends on what you want: intake inlet, outlet, heat shield, etc. You can get all or just the ones you want.

Fronts were a pain in the ass for my mechanic friend, but I'm finally completely lowered on Spoon springs.

edit: photos.

hows the ride compared to stock on the spoon's

hows the ride compared to stock on the spoon's

Only slight difference I felt when I was on the stock wheels was a little less body roll on corners. Bumps are little rougher too, but that's expected. But as far as the ride itself goes, it basically feels like stock.

Didn't really notice a huge difference in feel until I put on the new wheels/meatier tires (19x9.5 with 255/35). The ride feels a little more floaty even with the stiffer springs. You don't feel every little bump in the road like with the stock wheels/tires.

(It was yesterday but...) I hit the 10K mark! Unfortunately I couldn’t get the picture when it actually showed 10K because for once in my life the traffic lights were green and didn’t change when I got near.

I’m about to install all these goodies. Seibon CF engine cover, PTP inlet pipe blanket, and HKS ssqv4 Kit, and radium radiator cap

I’m about to install all this when I get my car back next Saturday from the detailer:
