I haven't updated this thread in awhile...

What I been doing for the past few weeks, when I had few mins free....

This pic is of the brace I made for the APR wing. Its made of 1/8 inch Aluminum plate. 

Took the car out for some testing and seems to do pretty well.

Little cosmetic treatment for the FEED fenders and flares.. Helps from rock chips  

I hated not having these on the hood... So, made it match and installed it.

Interior shots...

moosejaw is right.. It came in on some of the later clusters... I been mix matching some of them (I have like 10 of various clusters.. from super low US clusters, JDMs, US FDs (93s and 94s), Spirit R, 30th anni, etc.

Gordon, Only one I could easily find is this pic

Mine has the imitation cover (I also have the older cover from FEED) and the black one has the newer FEED signal covers. Newer one does not have the black trim.. its just clear.

Only other update I have is, today, I got some new tires put on the MB FD. I had some bubbles on the PS2 295s and put some Advan Sports. I'm also going to correct the offset a little by going 10mm FIC's new hub centric studded spacers up front and go 15mm Ichiba hub centric studded for the rear (was 15 front and 20mm back). PS. this is all for show.. I prefer not to use spacers. If I was going to track or something, I would use my SSRs. Here is the pic of the car with SSR comps.. my favorite wheels of ALL time

I hear ya Adam... I'm just to lazy and been sick for the past several days..

Anyhow, I had a rare chance to drive the FD to work during working days.. so I took a picture

Update on my Rotary cars...

First the SSM FD...

I finally got the tires mounted and balanced.. I'm going to go pick up the car and try to mount these.

MB FD.. I had a photo shoot with a local photographer and I had a chance to snap few pics while the car was set up..

Here are couple of pictures I snapped..

Update on my SSM..

Picked up my SSM and installed the new RX8 40th anniversary wheels..

Couple of new info about these wheels... the hub centric is same as FD. I know the older RX8 had different hubs (bigger). 

The car needs lowering to look better.. which will happen later on this month.
