More Update..

I had a photoshoot with Ryan Lopez, who shot my car other times.. I can't share those photos yet as they are still in bound to a media for publication.. but here are some I took..

Preview of one of the shot

Couple of other things...

I put my SSM at my friend's house

Also started to work on my engine harness at Chase Bays. No one have made a quick disconnect for sequential twin 

And since I'm a family man and with a dog, I been secretly searching online for a unicorn... Lexus IS300 Wagon. And finally found one!! 2005 Sportcross, only 1 of 240 ish sold in USA.

And had to get a custom plate

I had some old SSR's from my FD and put some new Toyo T1-Sports on them. I had great luck with these tires.

Talking about wheels.. I also picked up a set of MS-01S in 18s for the FD. Bought them throught GTR-Garage on Yahoo auction japan. Those of you looking for people to bring in large parts from japan, GTR Garage is the place! More info and their contact, GTR Garage

Catching up on my updates..

So, I've decided to pull the dip off and rock my Montego Blue paint. But to protect the paint, I've added some dip to areas where its prone to chipping.. Mainly using Toyo Tires, R888's.

Also, I was getting my RZ Recaro Carbon Kevlar seats recovered. 

I didn't want something too crazy, so sticking with neutral grey suede.

perforated center cushions

All the original material removed.. I'm saving it in case for the future..

Meanwhile, still working on the OE harness at Chase Bays.. Completely disassembled and ID'd.

Also, working on a bumper. I've been a huge fan of FEED (Fujita Engineering) and RE-Amemiya. Both bumper has its positives and wanted to build a bumper that utilizes best of the both. 

I was one of the first in USA to have the FEED Type 2R bumper and lights and its the signal Driving lights of Type 2R that I loved. 

What I liked about the RE-Amemiya was the lower half. The aggressiveness of the lower half of the RE-A bumper is what I loved. Hence My 20B FD has the RE-Amemiya N1-02 bumper. So, I fused the two together.

But what I did not like about either bumper is the center lower section raised. This caused a problem when wanting to use front splitter. So, we are making it flat.

Everything smooth out

And Mold being made.. (credit goes to LC Racing for making the mold).

Bumper is currently on my car and few things to be adjusted and new mold needs to be made.
