ive been really busy with work lately and since it gets dark by the time i get home i get too lazy to work on stuff lol
but here's a sneak peak of the canards i have made. they're obnoxiously large right now but i'll trim them down once i'm happy with everything else. a lot more fine tuning left before these go on..
i also made a template for the front splitter but no real progress beyond that yet. i'll be using a 3/4" foam core sandwiched in fiberglass. i have the materials, just have to find the time to lay everything now
picked up a used nismo aluminum shift **** for $15 from japan. theres a small gap between the boot and the bottom of the ****, does anyone know what i can fill that space with? or is it something i have to live with it?
as promised here's an update on the front end aero package for 2017. finished up fitment so now i just have to mount the splitter and paint it along with the canards
quick photoshop of what it'll look like:
once that's done i'll work my way towards the back with sidesplitters, a diffuser, and finally a voltex wing
Looking ready for the track...Which canards are those?
both the splitter and canards are diy 1-offs. the canards are fiberglass and the splitter is a honeycomb core composite.
although, i have thought about making a plug and play version of the canards for the sport bumper if people were interested in them since i already have a mold.
another update, this time to the oil cooler setup. replacing the greddy sandwich plate with the mocal unit which is more compact overall. also picked up a z1 magnetic plug while i was at it.
@purist how did you purchase parts from Japan? Was it an auction or were you there physically?
i either bought them while i was over there or online from croooober.com, which hosts the online store for UpGarage. they have new and used parts, worldwide shipping, and an english version of the site
Picture time Volk TE37RTs in dash white. 18x10 +39 with 3mm spacer in the front.
i can finally run non camber-gang specs in the rear lol. not sure how i feel about the fitment up front yet though. also trying out the nitto nt555 g2 so we'll see how these are compared to the invos
ordered a yellow spoke sticker but haven't received it yet.. i might go with pink or black. we'll see when it gets here. and bumper is off because i have another surprise hopefully before the end of the year
