btw there are actually waxes for matte vinyl which will make it protected from water etching/etc =p



he wrapped it himself, was his first time doing it so yea understandably there were a few very small bubbles that he plans on taking care of, he just finished it yesterday just in time for the meet.


yea swiss wax has some good products for matte finishes



lost a chunk of my front bumper when i bottomed out pulling in, haha fck.... oh and yea no tire shine ftw, str8 dirrrrty ass tires

How much extra downforce does that dominoes sign add?

kyoshiro 03-20-2011 08:58 PM

Swissvax Opaque :DDDDDD

but ouch there, put some putty and wrap it again LOL

where you guys buying your wraps? interested in wrapping but I probably would have a lot of trouble wrapping my GLK cuz of it being so damn tall and I'd have to switch my whole line of detailing products to vinyl ones QQ

The guy could have put on 5mm spacers all around to clear his brakes, that's all he needed, 5mm... but cutting rims instead, shit wonder how much it cost too

i couldnt believe someone actually did something to complicated and unsafe when there was a much easier and safer way to do it

This topic has been beaten to death and then some on other forums so I will just give a quick recap:

- the wheels are forged and they are rated for way more than the weight of the car.

- the amount of metal left on the wheel is still more than other (even cast) wheels

- if you take a look at lots of different Ray's wheels, they machine them to suit offsets/width so even two different TE37's from factory will have diferent spoke thickness depending on width/offset - I looked at a few and took measurements.

- the offset is basically maxxed out for NSX - it's not the same as other cars - you cant go crazy on them - no way even 5mm would work in rear - or front without rubbing/damage - the liners are already rubbed from trying that.

- this is done on many race cars, this is not the first time people have done it

- these wheels will never see the track, they are for street

- personally I like the controversy - how many others would machine their Volks?

Thanks for sticking up for the car in your other posts.:)

ya i was sporting a massive hangover otherwise i would have stayed later, car didnt seem to get too much attention till i raised it up to leave lol. Your car looked great alittle rough around the edges, but thats to be expected when you're running freakin 12.5"rears with only a few mm of fender gap

JSS 03-20-2011 09:34 PM

cant believe how nice the weather turned out for this event, wish i could have made it :(

thanks for all the pics guys!

Araaadi 03-20-2011 09:35 PM

My pics will be up soon, not too great just a normal lumix camera.

First off, G-spec my gf would not stop talking about your car after seeing it. She's inlove with it.

Also, I feel bad I didn't have any change on me to donate, are you guys still accepting donations? I was told if i donated, i would get warmer lol.

Also spotted rcubed's sti in front of nandos on kingsway after the meet.

Here are some of my photos that I have finished, it's about 1/3 of the photos that I will be uploading.
I'll be uploading them to Flickr later if you want any high res.

I'll start with my buddies cars on the way there.

its because of the harder compound so he doesnt have to change his tires all the times

yea I read some drifters saying how the Nexens last a very long time good hard compound, so I'm thinking fck hearsay what the forum guys are saying I'll just go with what the guys who beat the shit out of tires all day say.

but upon closer insptection, these Nexens are made in Korea and with an almost identical tread pattern as my old Nankangs I'm almost sure it's the exact same fckin tire just slight cosmetic difference.
I don't mind though, Kangs were fckin boss, loud yes but took a helluva beating, all the way from here to Montreal actually ridin low pro no issues!

My coilovers are set to full stiff with spring rates of 14k front and 12k rear, I doubt I would even feel the tires lol

If I wasn't stretching I would have gone with the Toyo T1R's, or Hankook V12's two pretty good comfy performance oriented tires.

your car is fcking great, it's an NSX, no need to take it personal I have nothing against you nor the car, I just think it was a bad decision to cut your wheels, I can list many and more convincing reasons on why NOT to do chop your wheels, but it's a picture thread, let's enjoy each others cars here...
So let's agree to disagree, and that's fine because two car enthusiasts can do that maturely... now let me tell you something, the black NSX was revving it towards the end of the meet around 2pm and I told my buddy right away best sounding NSX's are boosted NSX's.... would have been sweet to hear your car revving instead




shit this setup is bananas, is it glow in the dark paint ???
