Love this pic (along w/ many others)





The NOMODSJK plate was awesome too, congrats on the trophy very cool to rep that sedan w/ props!


Sucks about your bad luck w/ powdercoaters, the finish on the calipers does look nice though


Looks like a blast of a trip although the setbacks have to take a bite

Yea Brad I love that pic as well. The drive up to the falls was amazing as well, there was a stretch of road that I honestly felt like was better than the Dragon.

Funny thing is, you go up as a group and leave back as a family. Good peoples!



Here was another fan favorite for some reason All carbon fiber R33

So much delicious carbon fiber, but also so much panel gap on all those aftermarket parts. How did it look in person?

I personally loved it and the picture may be a bit deceiving at this angle? It didn't look bad to me but then again I was more focused under the hood than anything as the sound this beauty made was just unreal to my ears.

Thanks!




Quick update, went yesterday to have the calipers installed now that Im back from my trip but unfortunately my mechanic had some personal issues and we had to postpone so not sure when they are going on. Hopefully this week.

I also went out to install my new steering wheel to find that both T30 bolts are stripped! I spent over an hour trying to drill out one of them and no success. So I'm stuck atm with the removal.

So went to the shop yesterday to have calipers put on and ended up forgetting my lug key as I just cleaned the car out the other day.

So I installed my Nelson Racing Wheel instead and couldn't be happier!

The craftsmanship on this thing is seriously top notch! The thickened wheel, the weight of it, the back finger groves, the perforated leather and stitching, every last detail is spot on!

My one and only complaint is that the back casing that was included was in rough shape with some serious scratches so I just swapped out my old one on it and wal lah!

Heres some pictures and as you can see the packaging was extremely well done for protecting this work of art and I also received some nice goodies.

Got to save the money shot for last

So much candy. Very cool, OP. And really excellent photos, too.

5 to 6 hundred dollars, huh? Yeah, I could see that. Nice mod.

John ALWAYS finding my grammar errors lol, thanks for keeping me honest and yes the price point compared to just about every other vendor who does custom steering wheels this is arguably the best price point and I cant speak highly enough of the craftsmanship. WIN WIN in my book.
