I bought the fuel system second hand. I am sure the fuel pump being already installed in the basket was from the seller.

wanted to try out a new look and ordered the V3 carbon fender with the larger top vents. Going to cut the fender line to allow the area open but still cover the engine area.

There will come a time when you're going to wrap the rest of the car black. I'd bet on it.

Man that's some crazy hobby, all these CF panels. More power to you, Panda.

You nailed it with that one. For the initial cost, I was going to wrap the rear until I could save enough money and find someone to do some carbon overlays.

I just saw that Jalisco has a carbon rear bumper so I am sure I could find the alibaba supplier.

Jumped on the dyno again but the same dyno as the one I was tuned on 6-7 years ago.
Major change from the previous dyno was the Z1 headers.

Volk LE37
19x8.5 and 19x9.5
unknown offset but I feel its +22 front and rear from the fitment and what's offered in those widths.

The tires are 245/35r19 (25.8") and 285/35 (26.9"). since the fronts are an inch shorter in diameter, its has a raked look.

Slapped on the Volk RE30 18x10 +20 and 18x10.5 +25. I need to adjust the passenger rear down by about 0.5" to match the other corners.

The rear pair was originally bronze, so I temporarily sprayed it silver; the shade is different from the front set. Hoping to powder coat them in the future.

V3 carbon fenders are on. Fitment is not great; gaps at the hood and fender are wide, even after adjustments. But still happy with them, considering the price I paid.

We changed the front entrance sign at work, so I took the opportunity for photos.

I'd have to measure it but i would say maybe 8mm towards the top of the hood/fender, but it tapers and the gap is not there towards the front.

Feel like I got a steal of a deal on this nitrous setup. The previous owner ran it as a dry setup, but it also comes with the wet lines and nozzles.

I was already doing a retune with Eugene, so this is perfect.

Picked up this set of Work Meister S1 by trading the LE37.

The Works are 19x10 +12 L-disk face. This clears some big brakes but does not work for the Akebono. A R-disk might work but a T-disk will for sure

This L-disk need a 10mm spacer to clear. Started with a 3mm, then 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm spacer.

Alibaba carbon bumper arrived.

Need to drill the mounting holes and test fit. Also need to repair the scratch that happened during removing it out of the crate.
