Default My RSA's new look for 2008.

Well since the car didn't sell last fall, I decided to change a few things and do some regular maintenance. Now everything is done and ready for track season.

Maintenance


- Ignition wires
- spark plugs
- caps and rotors
- distr. belt
- front and rear rotors and pagid pads all around


Other suff

- blower bypass pipe
- RS shift lever and fork
- Changed shifter ball joints with spherical joints and universal joint for shift rod
- leather mod 07 steering wheel
- Recaro Pole Position in leather and alcantara with white stiching
- front air ducts
- painted rear calipers
- CCW SP16a 18'' anodized in black with nitto NT-01


I know the look is not for everyone....

First pictures are from last year





Now this year

RS lip from rennspeed. It's made of GF but has held up very good with all the beating it takes from in and out of parking lots.

What drove the decision to change the wheels? The set (Kinesis ?)you had on the car were very nice looking, and I would venture to guess that the weights were fairly close.

The Kinesis were nice but I wanted something different, one piece forged and lighter and these are over 4 pounds lighter per wheel.

CCW makes a nice wheel...they are about 20 mins from my home here in FL. Looks like a great flat black anodized finish!

Yes it is. Here's the story behind that stupid horn button. I sold my old wheel and included one too many horn button and when it was time to install my new wheel, all I had left laying around was this old horse. I wanted to order a porsche horn button but damn, everybody sells it for 50$ on fleabay. So for now I have the prancing horse but installed it so it's facing down.

BTW thanks guys for compliments.

John at CCW is absolutely amazing to deal with. He knows is stuff and everything was on schedule.

Nice work, I think the PPs suit the car much better than the GT3 buckets. I must get round to ordering some PPs myself and reaping the benefit of lighter more supportive seats. I can't see any harnesses in the pic - is there a reason for this?

The reason being that I don't drive around town with them, only at the track.

I'd love to see the car in better lighting, but it looks nice.
