Glad you are happy with it man. Sorry it took so long. Screw that front bolt that shit was a bitch. Can't believe I didn't think to look in the top of the seat earlier for those bolts. Without those two things we would have made great time. Disappointed in myself that I couldn't complete it faster. Guess I will get a second crack at it since in two weeks you will have a set of BC Coils for me to install probably.


at you buying food and her being asleep then. Did you at least eat it while admiring your car in the garage?



PS: I feel like I got hit by a train today. My entire body is sore

nah man, don't take it that way...it wasn't meant to come off like i was complaining whatsoever that it took longer than expected. we could've had that car done rather fast actually if it weren't for a couple unforeseen issues. as i said, i had a great time (watching u do my install ). no worries bud.

lmao...YES, i had taco in hand as i was admiring my new setup!! you know me all too well...lol.

hell man i'm sore and i didn't even do 99% of the work. just getting that one bolt loose did me in. regardless, i desperately need to get back into the gym more consistently

p.s. her being asleep already was sort of a good thing because i got to eat all her food too! WIN!

also, u should see my thumb man...it's swollen up like there's no tomorrow...lol. i wacked it pretty good.

Oh I didn't think you were complaining so no worries. Yeah I bet your thumb is pretty bad. You really should wear some gloves you know

Here are the kind of gloves I was talking about that don't make you loose the feel for anything really. They are coated in a material called Nitrile. You can also get gloves makes completely out of Nitrile similar to latex gloves as well.

^^fyi...i still can honestly say i still like those wheels. i know i want the f14's but i don't dislike these at all. i think that looks pretty f'in good...i just want a more aggressive/staggered setup.

I agree they definitely look good on the car for sure now that it is lowered. you could always upgrade to a 215/35/20 tire and then run some 10mm bolt on spacers if the wheels have pockets in the back which I don't remember if they do or not. They you will be flush with 20s.

is it possible that it's already beginning to 'settle'? i may have to raise the rears a bit before heading downtown tonight. no biggie tho. i'm just not looking to do a fender roll via my tire slamming into it after hitting a bump.

So I'm sitting there playing video games when the house starts shaking. WTF. Couldn't fathom an earthquake here, but I just saw one hit NoVA and DC . Guess you could feel it here. Crazy.

I tried tell you that last night

Also it is actually 3 mods

1. RV6 Cat Deletes http://heeltoeauto.com/RV6-Performan...-pr-65422.html
2. RV6 J-pipe V3 http://heeltoeauto.com/RV6-Performan...-pr-65427.html
3. ATLP Exhaust http://heeltoeauto.com/ATLP-V2-QUAD-...-pr-63697.html

Also found another setup that seems awesome as well. The RV6 true dual setup. You will need to get a Type-S Rear lip for the car regardless if you want to run quad tips.

Since you are happy with your wheels now you have that money you were going to spend on the F14s to use

By the way I have been told that I cause bad things happen to people's wallets when they discuss modding with me.

Tyler I am not knocking your video is a little deceiving as it was done in a parking garage and acts as an amplifier of the sound. Definitely still sounds good just makes it sounds a lot louder that it really is in my opinion. Just want to make sure he knows what it sounds like fully before he buys anything.

Good point. It just sounded so sick in the garage

It's definently not as loud as some of the ones you posted. That first video of the white TL-S was nuts!

I have other videos on YouTube but they aren't as good quality as the one I posted.

19x9.5 et43 x2

I received an intelligence report yesterday from a retired acurazine member that these are for sale. Waiting for confirmation if new/used and pics.

yeah those would be a nice set of track wheels. i'd probably prefer a 10.5 in the rear but those should suffice for the F.

^Was is euro-wise (for the fender rolling)? since raising it, i realized that it needs to go back down near where it was. to do so, i'll have to get them rolled because when i had it lower it did rub for sure; i can see where it touched the fender.
