so i washed my car today and it probably won't look this clean in a long time. it gets pretty beat up on track days. anyway, just thought i'd share!

 

your rims are sexy!!! how much!! =]

 

Very clean...love the headlight/grill combo!

 

nice nice clean clean

 

o wow...ive never seen a rear bumper like that on a G...wat is that?

 

^impul front and back, ings sides.

looks good, but why not run the impul side also?

 

thanks, but you're just saying that cuz you haven't seen my curb rash

 

thanks! the headlights are just overlays though. i want to get them painted, but don't really want to split my headlights apart. maybe if i come up with an extra pair

 

yup, you got it! at the time, i thought the impul side resembled the stock one too much, so i went with the ings because it was "girthier." plus, they were in stock at bulletproof when i was there

 

nice

 

not as nice as those fripples who is that?? she's a hottie!

 

Looks great Nick. What track events do you usually go to? What suspension are you on? Every time I go to the track, I hear a new squeak or rattle coming from the suspension. Maybe it's time to go with something else.

 

hey dan. i've been to track events mostly with speedventures. i went with speedtrialusa once about a week ago, but they run their events a little differently than speedventures (which isn't necessarily a good thing).
i saw my first car-to-car contact incident happen with them (i've only been doing this for about a year so i haven't seen much) and was surprised to learn that it was in the "advanced" group. these two individuals should not have been in that group that's for sure.

i am currently running on tein basics with various strut/body braces, adjustable a-arms, rear toe bolts/camber arms, and adjustable endlinks. i will also be getting corner balanced in january.

what suspension are you running? if i could pass on some wisdom that i have learned from others:

• pillow ***** are useless for you unless you go to the track all the time. other than that, they could be just noise makers on the street.
• don't get too crazy with an adjustable setup. how do you know what to adjust it to if you don't know what the adjustment does or what you are looking for?
• learn how to drive YOUR car first, then see what is missing or what YOU need and are comfortable with (very key). you could have $10k of gear, but it's useless if you don't know how to use it
• the more stuff you add, the more noise it's going to make, it really is that simple.

hope that helps dan, it certainly has helped me!

 

I would never get tein basics on any car that I would put on a track though. They are incredibly soft compared to all other coilover setups.

 

they're not that soft with the 9kg/mm spring rate. i found them to be very predictable in all the tracks that i've been to. you may be better than me, but i found them to be reliable with quick steering response (even on buttonwillow's esses, just before/after star mazda (depending on configuration). i may eventually move up to cusco zero-2's or kw variants when i get more track days in, or if i feel i need them even after corner balancing.
