Hi Dan,

Like it alot, love the carbon mirrors but tail pipes stick out too much.

Keep me posted on that carbon fiber hood.

Ciao,

Thanks... I like the exhaust tips. At first I thought so too. But reminds me of my JDM cars.

Dan,

Are you familiar with the Ground Designs 2000 Black Widow CRX? Basically the same engine, chassi, brakes mods but without the body kit and stereo. In a addition a Chromolly cage that looked like the chimp playground at the zoo!

Suspension: Tein suspension,1998 Integra Type R conversion suspension, AC front strut bar, AC rear strut bar, Energy Suspension bushings, Skunk2 camber kits.

Wheels: Volk Racing LE37 17'' wheels shood with Toyo RA1

Brakes: Rotora big cross-drilled slotted rotors, Rotora 4-piston calipers, braided brake lines

Others: Pprojector headlights, JDM taillights, Recaro SPG seats, Defi gauges bla bla bla bla...............

After that I moved to a del Sol (just sold it) with similar mods that I raced at Auto X events together with my wife.

I looooove white, but that car doesn't do it for me. It kind of looks like a Toyota version of a 911.

I dunno, it just seems 'thicker', almost like the photo has been skewed. The front bumper cover looks a little 350Z-ish. And I don't like black wheels or rear wings. But hey, that's just me. I'm sure it handles like nobody's business....

I think it's mostly the front bumper that I don't like, now that I looked at it some more. I really like the carbon fiber highlights inside, but I'm not sure about a carbon fiber hood (although it will probably make the wheels look more complimentary). I read somewhere that the carbon fiber interior trim pieces tend to fall apart in colder weather. Is there any truth to this?

nice dan! is this car now just a show car or do you track it regularly? just wondering about the reliability of the supercharger (once you install one). once you get the carbon hood please paint it white.

Dan...

That is one wicked looking car...came a long way from when I first saw it and I thought about purchasing it. I am glad she is in good hands.

BTW..how much work was required to get the Misha wing acceptable for install? Did you body shop have to do much prep work?

Can you give me the specs on the wheels? What size and width? Also what model? Are they RS racing series? Also can you pm me the price on a GT3 seat? So far I have seen $1250 in Excellence, just wondering if you can beat it.

BTW the car looks awesome that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Ever since I raced this guy in his white GT2 modified by Akkurat I have a new appreciation for white.
