yeah thanks Jase but the old wheels were a little too impractical for daily use and really rough ride. Hasn't really made any difference with just a filter on the breather but it's only a temporary fix while I get some bigger fittings for the catch can install.

Looking forward to seeing the paint, good job on the full sand back and smooth before the paint, will look the nuts...

That is some serious sexy flare going on there! :cool:

Do you know any measurements? i.e +20mm front flare +25 rear?

Also what skirts are you running are they vertex ones?

sorry FruitBooter i actually wouldnt have a clue what the measurements are, they were just done to fit these wheels at a certain camber setting. And about the skirts - i honestly thought they came standard on the spec - R over here but i'll look into it further

Decals applied, now just the final clear coat and ready to go on

why did you pull it so much? car needs to be lowered more. not really a big fan of the wheels but its a clean ass car

Nope those skirts are different, they look much better than the aero ones though imo, they seem to flow with the design of the car better and also look a tad lower. :thumbs:

How did you find the difference with the throttle wheel. I saw these a little while back and wondered if they were worth it.

Thanks boys. Meddler it is a noticable difference with the throttle wheel and i actually stalled it a couple of times because the point were i usually rev it too and find the friction point with the clutch is now a bit further down but overall very happy

"throttle wheel makes the travel of the throttle cable down low in the rev range longer and gives you more control, and makes the travel up high shorter for instant throttle response." Its a good bang for buck mod and only takes about 10-15 mins to install
