Thanks dude. Haha yeah... I've been meaning to get back on my photography game. I'm more interested in exclusive shoots with very few cars now. But we'll see as the summer progresses

Fantastic new mod list there sir!! OMG I cant wait to see it all done haha. Those wheels too...So nice!

Gorgeous Altima mate.

I once test drove a 2003 Eclipse 3G. To this day I am still cursing myself for not buying it when I had the chance but at the time I was more concerned about all of the speeding tickets I would "accidentally" collect. ;)

kiru, i want pics with those wheels installed NOW!

Thanks guys, and yes azend - I loved that eclipse, no trouble with the police though luckily

I will tyler... just waiting on tires and the car to be put back on the road

15hrs until my car is back on the road, AND... with a $90 drop in my insurance rate thanks to TD.

I got impatient and mounted up my tires and wheels... happy with the stretch on the tires... even though I'm not a fan of stretch. 245s are the widest my fenders can accommodate without committing to more serious modifications ..

They took some playing around to take air, but I didn't have to use a bead-blaster or anything

And again, thanks for everyone's input on the wheels when I was choosing what to buy (on whatsapp... )

are those pilot super sports? how much did all 4 cost you?

Yes, Pilot Super Sports. $430 for the set with my... various discounts , and I'm waiting for my $70 mail in rebate to arrive =D

....that's almost the price of just one rear tire.

thats a dope price hey can u give me price on some rims for my jeep i can pm u the spec.

back breaking work can occasionally have its merits

Yeah man, do it

So, an update.

Everything I massed over the winter has been installed except for the headlights (they're still torn apart, waiting on me..)







Got the CF hood on, I still have to install the Aerocatch hood pins.

I love the vents, I can see heat coming out of them at stop lights.



Now, my plan to increase the car's efficiency..

I won't be putting on the bumper I got, had second thoughts

I'll put on the stillen lip, to get rid of the gap.



and for cooling...

I'm gunna cut these into the OEM bumper (In the black area, near my fog lights). And run high-temp Neoprene ducting. One duct on either side to the brakes. One on the right side bumper to the intake, and the one on the left to the oil cooler





I haven't bought any of the parts yet... so we'll see as time goes

Stillen FTW, and that duct set-up will look BAWS!

Yeah man, the quality of the lip was amazing... I now understand why they're so damn expensive..

test fit of the lip! =D

99% going to keep it black - just gunna put a coat of plastidip on it

Looks awesome, and I love the brake duct idea!

Thanks. I'm a little OCD when it comes to "efficiency" =/

That's how beautiful cars are made bro!!

So, I made a seperate DIY in the how to section. But I'll post the results here.





These numbers were before the seals were complete. Driving to London, I was monitoring the numbers and the intake temps were only 6 Degrees above the temperatures outside, where they were about 20 degrees above before. And this is without wiring up the secondary ducting from underneath the vehicle. So, numbers show... that it works =D

Some rolling shots... Finally =D Thanks to eclipse09





and, my tires for next year are here =D

Awesome man! Is that torque your using?

VTECDUDE wrote:Awesome man! Is that torque your using?

Thanks dude. I'm assuming torque is an app? No this app is called Dash Command - its one of the few apps newer 2din decks support (so I can stream the information straight to the deck) <- which will be another project for later on...

Ya torque is an app! I am in the process of setting this up so I can start to learn about some numbers and also for a baseline as the car is new! I was torn between torque and dash command, both got really good reviews!

damn those are some good numbers man!
cool shot too

I've had no regrets with dash command. I love the custom skins you can download (they make the GTR R35 skin )

Thanks tyler, I'm happy it actually works

Dave took the shots out of ryans car, not bad for a dave xD
