maybe Lance on the forums can get you an answer faster?

anyways here are my new FI 2.5" RHFCs got em for a real good price and didnt have to wait!

 

Ditto as well... Yet I have to try out going sideways on a ramp, never tried it as at higher speeds I'm a bit afraid that it could easily get out of my hands, and I might hit the curb, but other than ramps, I handle my sideways fun very well I could say.

I guess I need my sway bars first for a proper slide on a ramp right? I guess I'll see what's that about after winter

Besides, I think I'd be very lucky to find a ramp in my area that would be particularly empty haha.

 

I'm kind of the same way. First time I did it with snow tires I lost the back end a little. It's my first time with snow tires, and I really don't like them so far. Is it normal for winter tires to break traction with snow on the road?

 

Funny that you mention this, since I ordered some NST pulleys back on Oct. 2 that were ready for "immediate shipping". After numerous ignored emails, I decided it was time to file a claim to the bank and guess what...8 hours later shipping confirmation from NST lol. Let just hope they got the order right.



I'll shoot Lance a PM if I don't get a response by the next couple of days. Never had a problem with FI's customer service.

You will love them. Just make sure to get some extra hangers in for support!


x2 :/

 

Right... snow tires. Forgot about that. I don't drive aggressively with snow tires on dry frozen pavement. However, when the roads are covered in snow and ice, all bets are off. And if there are no other cars around, it's fun to turn the TC off on snow, too. Just for a bit.

In other G news... HappyBuyItNow just emailed me a UPS Tracking Number out of Japan for a prototype Extreme3 roof wing. How cool is that? Totally free to me as they're working out the specs for the G Sedan. All they want from me are pictures and a thread on the forum.



Shocked. Hope it fits and looks good. Not sure what I'm going to do with it now that Winter is here.

 

Nice. Any pics of the wing by itself?
I can't seem to satisfactorily google search HappyBuyItNow.

 

Here's a video with their Gen2. They're sending me the Gen3, which supposedly has a much lower profile.

 

So you're being used for pictures and a thread. Nice

 

This ^^ x2! what in the world is HappyBuyItNow, never heard of them. How'd you even get in contact with them?

Well John , since winter's here, or not really here since no snow, if you dont know what to do with it, I will do for sure haha

 

It's difficult to research them, because they operate solely out of eBay and a few car forums... and even then, they're JDM with so-so English skills. However, they seem ligit, and have been selling trunk & roof wings for a number of years out of Taiwan.

I found them in Dragion's thread about roof wings: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...adowspeed.html They created a single post with a picture of this "Gen 3" version of their roof wing, and an offer for someone to prototype the product. A few people bit at the opportunity, but it didn't happen, and their communication was very spotty.

Anyway, I had sent their eBay account an email, they replied back, some time went by without any communication, then it all picked back up, and now one of their new roof wings is in shipment to me for next week. I'm actually kind of shocked, but psyched to see what it's like. Per the measurements I gave them, they're sending me the Gen3 Roof Wing in gloss black. At least, that's the plan. Going to be interesting to see what shows up.

 

Nice , nice I am in for pictures and your as always very detailed review on it as well, IIRC you bit the idea of getting a gloss black one like we talked about it after applebees in Binghamton ?

Considering you are a very detailed person, I'm sure you gave them a very spot on measurements, and as far as they followed, the fitment should be very good !

 

X2 John, look forward to your reviews w/ pics and any pros & cons.

 

I recall the dinner, but not that particular conversation. But I'm not surprised we talked about it... I've had an on-again/off-again attitude about roof wings. Mostly off.

Then I got to thinking of it less as a roof wing, and more of a trim piece, narrow, without the flip-up design of most roof-wings. And in that context, black, like the roof channels that lead up into it. With dark window tint, I think it might work.

At least, that's the thinking. But I could be way-y-y off, LOL.

 

Change your clutch fluid to motul and don't look back!

 

I'm interested in seeing if you like the roof wing, since you already didn't feel Dragion's. I can't feel it either. Never have and probably never will.
