That's pretty good. Surprised how light they are just like the Volks. It makes me wonder if they are just as durable as the Volks?

And you were giving me crap about not coming out to event due to weather! As much as I love my Volks, I hate them just as equally due to cleaning and maintenance!

The RPF1's are about 19lbs each compared to the Nismo Rays which I think are about ~21lbs for the fronts and ~28lbs for the rears.

Right. lol Well after having all those events happen to my car, I'm a bit more OCD about it now than I was before.

True, but what's the fun in that? lol After re-watching Drea. Build. Drive video on Vimeo. It definitely relit the spark into modding the car again even though it's down right now and to check everything myself from now on.

To be honest, I still think believe this car needs to be used the way it was intended to, which is what your doing. There just hasn't been any luck down here for auto x's or public track events.

Ah, but isn't there events in the next state over? I wish I was on the mainland so I could just drive or trailer to events. Being on an island blows big *****

Easier said than done but it's true. Plenty of in-state events as well depending on what program you drive with.
