Your current brakes look rather lack-luster....when are you gonna get some fancy ones?

mikebikelife Oct 22, 2012 12:09 PM

Your car Morgan , is the only one that makes me want one . Every other one I see I'm just like ehh but after these last couple mods I just wanna :boink:

chill_dog Oct 22, 2012 12:33 PM

Love the new updates! They're subtle, but make a big difference.

RPhilMan1 Oct 22, 2012 12:39 PM

So clean looking. You've done an awesome job thus far.

civicdrivr Oct 23, 2012 12:14 AM

:blush: Thanks guys (and girl). :thumbsup:

Once theres something on the market for both front and rear. Right now theres only BBKs for the front, and I dont want to throw off the braking bias/power.

Looking great Morgan!

Undying Dreams Oct 23, 2012 10:14 AM

Man, I want a garage for my car :cry: Good pics Morgan, clear lights look so much better!

rockstar143 Oct 23, 2012 10:33 AM

Just a set of rotos and some RDX covers should do the trick...
:notfunny:

Undying Dreams Oct 23, 2012 12:04 PM

:notfunny: <--exactly

I have my rotors on. Waiting on the other covers. Fukking China, slower than shit.

But seriously...rotors and calipers could really make the FR-S look sic as ever. :nod:

rockstar143 Oct 23, 2012 12:59 PM

I think the car already does look perfect. Will it add to the look, sure...but by no means does it look "incomplete" without it.

At least in my opinion.

crazyasiantl Oct 23, 2012 03:52 PM

nice update.

lookin good :thumbsup:

I saw preview for the new episode of fifth gear that airs tonight, and the frs is featured and they mentioned it as contender for best drivers car of the year.

rockstar143 Oct 24, 2012 09:39 AM

^^^Saw that too...tried to set a recording and my fkn comcast box couldn't find anything that said "Fifth or 5th"...
I need to see that.

But didn't you put RL calipers on the CL?

Yea, and then the rear setup got delayed and delayed. Hence why I want to get all four corners at once.

aznboi2424 Oct 26, 2012 08:06 PM

So you regret the RL BBK? :scratch:

rockstar143 Oct 26, 2012 10:58 PM

course...he regretted it so much he opted for a whole new car! :goat:

No I dont regret them. I regret not getting off my ass and planning the rear BBK sooner.

The CL and FR-S are two completely different cars. One is a highway cruiser and the other one will be hitting up track days. I just don't want to put anything on the car that will upset an already capable chassis, which is why I want to do all four corners at the same time.

Plus I dont like how a monster BBK looks up front while the back is still running the stock cast brakes :yuck:

Anyone heard anything out of Morgan since the storm?

Aman Nov 1, 2012 11:27 AM

:ugh: Hope he's all right.

He posted about moving in to a new place today. :dunno:

swoosh Nov 1, 2012 11:33 AM

^^^ :nod:

yup he was saying he is gonna move to a new place and doesnt have internet there yet....might be an Amish neighborhood :snicker:

CLtotheTL32 Nov 1, 2012 11:36 AM

He's alive :tomato:

His mom and grandmother were in NY for the storm and didn't have any power so he was considering driving up there and bringing a generator.

He texted me last night saying that he's moved into his new place but the electric company cut the power since he didn't contact them to transfer the account to his name :rofl:

rockstar143 Nov 1, 2012 01:12 PM

1st world problems...

Yumcha Nov 1, 2012 01:48 PM

Whew. Hope he checks in soon.

swoosh Nov 1, 2012 01:50 PM

^^^ close his thread and i think he will check back reeeeaallll soon :bitelip:

civicdrivr Nov 2, 2012 10:15 PM

:spit: :hug:

Thanks for worrying guys. Richmond was spared in the storm, but NY obviously wasnt. As Tyler said, my brother and I were planning on heading up to NY with some generators. But the night before we were going they got power back. Good thing too, because if it were just him and I we couldnt have crossed the bridges (theyre only allowing cars with three or more people over).

And yes, I moved into a new place Wednesday/Thursday. I never realized how much crap I own. :whyme:

Im still unpacking, but I love the garage.

The rest is OK I guess. :tomato: Ill take some pics once Im settled in. Also, I liked the way they car looked in this pic, even though my phone is old and takes crappy pics:

MEKO Nov 2, 2012 10:24 PM

Guess it's the car that gives quality to picture hehe
Nice house!!!

Glad they got power. Heard lot of annoying things from friends in NYC

My gift for your new house :P

Me gusta the garage too :drool:

Everything looks good :)

Aman Nov 3, 2012 09:08 AM

Nice house! Glad you were able to get a garage, too. :thumbsup:

And MEKO, that drift car... Holy steering angle :what:

Hapa DC5 Nov 3, 2012 09:56 AM
