Love that car.

Very nice...beautiful rims

looks HOT! very well done. wish i had the time and energy to make my 5 a project

I hate the splitters or whatever they are called, the little carbon bits on the front bar - TERRIBLE.

Rest of the car though

The mx needs all the downforce it can get. I think it looks good too, race spec rather than bling mobile.
Wheels are fantastic. Such an awesome car mate. Virtually ideal mod list. Def ready for some FI.
Good photos too, love the shot of the steering wheel.
Just imagine the last shot if you had a front spoiler.

What lap times do you do at wakefield?

best at wakefield on the street rubber is 1:17 for me..
i reckon a better driver may be able to do a 15 or so..

needs more powarr!

ah cool same time as me, until I put on sticky rubber.

Are you going for the full 12psi?

not sure, will see how it handles 6-8psi first ;)

Of all the cars presently displayed in this section yours would have to get my vote Kula. It looks great, no doubt goes even better and that last action shot is truly amazing.
As a matter of interest how much weight does a carbon fibre bonnet save?

i didn't weigh it before installing, but it definitely felt lighter, my guess would be 1-2kgs.

some are heavier due to the amount of fibreglass there is behind it, but mine is very thin, and has almost no bracing underneath.

i really need to take a pic of it and i will eventually.

also fitted the manualised Power steering rack the other day, made it a bit nicer:)

Holy crapoly that's one nice car.

Where'd you source the AWD face from? I'd quite like a set

Got em from Mr Dewa in Japan, which was a bit of a story in itself..

So I spotted them in a Road&Ster magazine, and thought, yeah nice, I want them. So on one work trip to Tokyo, our translator in Japan calls AWD and says we would like a set.

Dewa-san says, sure, give me an address.

Our trans asks, \"what about payment? How would you like it?\"
Dewa-san responds, \"its ok, take them first, if you like them then you can pay me.\"

a day or so later they come, wrapped in the most immaculate packaging I've ever seen. So much care was taken, and everything was individually wrapped, taped and wrapped again, I was totally blown away.

Needless to say, we paid him quickly.

A year or so later a forum-ite met up with Dewa-san, and gave him the story I did on his faces in Auto Salon Magazine, it apparently brought him to tears. He was honoured that his humble work was in an international publication.

Just one reason why I love Japan.

^ thats a fantastic story
