I jerry rigged a baffle...just like you are planning. Basically makes the return fluid dissipate into the sides of the canister. Makes for a quiet, cavitation free ps system.

got my tires ordered up finally, but they were out of 305 30 19.. BOO!!

month + back order.. lame.

So I had to go wider than i wanted for an 11 inch wheel.. i went 325 30 19 and 295 30 19.. so fronts will be lightly stretched.. just barely.. and rears w be the opposite.. jsut barely rounded.

Should be fine tho.. Id have gone 11/12 in wheel width anyways to begin with but the 19x12 offset was far less aggressive than the 11.

Stardast kit has shipped from Hachioji Tokyo

people...i know you people luuuv the pictures...
New shots of a completed car w stock body from.Stardast..
I feel that a guy really still needs a body kit to run this.. it's just not aggressive enough w out some legit bumpers etc.

Still cool tho..

Im.going to wait until.my car.is more built out before sending the cash.. but I'm really thinking this Garage Mak wing will be killer..
I don't want to deal w making a chassis mount and ordering a custom fastener location apr gtc500.. this can be sold later if it strikes me..

Anyway this is the direction I'm proceeding with for now..

the front fender is awesome, the rear not so much. I really dislike those little vents. Congrats on the sponsorships. Please let me know how those tire stickers workout, I was going to go that route but just went with a stencil....It did turn out as well as i hoped though...
