Bought my first ever car parts online a few days back. Bought a stereo off a newer model VW from Black Forest Industries (OEM fitment yay), as well as a shift knob/shift pattern coin. Total price before taking exchange rate into account: just under $450. Never thought I'd spend $160 on a shift knob, but it's just so beautifulllll. :cry:

No. This is a different set.

This set was requested to be built to Rookie's original specifications. Basically Rookie had these exact wheels before he went widebody, the specs were 22x10 ET22 w/ 2.5" lip in the front, and 22x10 ET22 with a 3.5" lip in the back.

After he went widebody he went crazy and altered all the inner and outer barrels to make a 3.5" lip in the front and something crazy like a 7" lip in the rear.

I likely will get new wheels long before I reach that point, but I couldn't pass on the opportunity to do my own version of an FX with these wheels.

Rear bumper is completely molded to the rear quarter. Side skirts are molded to the front fender. I would never do that, the car is essentially impossible to work on now.

Granted Viet's FX is a pure show car through and through. The thing sits in a garage now for months or years on end, but previously would travel from show to show, or shoot to shoot. It's not a vehicle that sees very much road use. There is simply too much work invested to use the vehicle. It's kinda sad actually.

He's on mighty car mods. A popular youtube show, and now an online forum like RS.

He got the exact same wheels for his S2000 in yesterdays new video. See here:


MCM is hilarious, go back and watch some of their videos, any car guy can appreciate the fun they have.

Zordon 01-08-2015 04:53 PM

That front bumper he installed though.... just awful...:okay:

CCA-Dave 01-08-2015 06:27 PM

These will be fun to pay for when the bill comes in.

Calipers are brand new, but look used as they travelled from Toronto to BC on an open trailer while bolted to a MK1 Escort rally car project. Probably should have pulled them off before the drive, ah well.

To be realistic though, even if you pulled them how long would they last on a rally car before looking like that anyways?

CCA-Dave 01-09-2015 11:15 AM

True! These will be used on my next build, which is going to be a track beetle lightly disguised as a road car. (Much like the rally beetle is just barely a street car.) The corrosion only changes those initial build photos...which I can live with.

Got a tune to get more out of my bolt-ons. Exceladyne Poweraxel module loaded with Beyond Redline stage 1 tune. What I like about this module is that it holds 3 different tunes - Stock, 91 octane & 94octane - so I can switch in between different fuel maps. The tune's suppose to put out 245whp & 290wtq, not badd from baseline of 187whp. Once I get some more skrill I'll be upgrading to 550cc injectors and a piranharace werks stage 2 tune; should push out 260whp & 320wtq. Goodbye OEM clutch.
