With all due respect, if you post things on social media, especially with buko hashtags, you're asking for it. That's how social media works. If you want a distilled good response only response, go call your mom and get off the internet.
Brian, you're a professional I gather. You're just going to have to plug your nose, shut your eyes and swallow all the bullchit. It comes with the territory. If you don't like it, then you should probably figure out a different marketing strategy.
I'm not saying it's right, or it's fair, but that's how it is. This is kind of like if a guy is all butt-hurt about "being in the friend zone", and complaining about having to hear about a girls problems of sleeping around and nobody wanting her. If you don't like what's happening don't keep repeating the same actions. Or like when you go to the doctor saying "when I do this it hurts" and he tells you to stop doing that chit. I don't post stuff about my car for that very reason. The positive praise doesn't mean much, and the negative is just stupid and annoying. The inputs also are annoying and usually senseless, and the badgering is un-needed too. Maybe if I had a business that could profit from my car, it would be different. But at the end of the day nobody is making me post more crap about my car, so I don't.

My truboost (controller) lost its tune w all the electrical issues i had been having.. so Im stuck at 7bs waste gate spring at the moment. When its re tuned and powerful again i will certainly have a ballsier video clip and shoot for you.
It just takes time and takes money, two things im very short on at the moment tbh.

I feel you. I know how it is, sometimes it helps to get reminded that it's just part of the game, you know? That it's not just YOU getting all this BS. Everyone does lol. When I had a youtube channel, and I realized everyone popular has it happen to them, made it a lot easier to handle the hate, bs etc.

yep, i know, at least i didnt end up on TMZ over my outburst lol.
so for todays mail drop.. the following:
black suede shift boot to match the rest of the car and the Sparco seats, soon to be redone in suede as well.
Also bought their chrome rings for the gauge cluster.. will go great with the shinnier machined bezels of the speedhut gauges im picking up soon.. vs the satin silver on the current ones.
Nice match to the Nardi horn ring too
they snapped in place tightly right over the carbon fiber overlay thats on he gauge face already.. nice job.
also got my splitter, rear diffuser and wing upright lateral braces in from my sponsors at FULLY TORQUED RACING.. these are frikn beautiful pieces.

quick collage shot i made for a fb conversation.. shows our ceo of Stardast Kenichi at TAS 2014 w Yukimistu's CSG FD.
My build was in an effort to blend the two cars together.
this weekends plans to add the DRLs in the crack next to my oil coolers.. had some sheet metal bent to fit the ewnds of the cooler cores.. wiring is already in place for them too.
my MS Paint skillz again on what im doing for the front splitter.. just waiting for a spare set of hands this weekend to help me bolt it up and mark out moutning holes so i can trim it to shape and wrap it bacl, add the red trim and winglets and be DONE

'sup *****.
i built some moar sheet over the weekend.
this took a lot more planning and measuring than i thought it would tbh.. looking at some Protex catch bolt latches for the bumper, mounting on each fender flare-to-bumper section.. should look aggresive and also allow me to nix all the hardware behind each corner to attach bumper and flares and to keep the body lines right and tight too.
nope ^ too big.. bumper already has a big lip.. shorter and squarer.. cutting again..
Much better..
cut a small square under the sway bar for the floor jack to center in...
blank panel for the DRLs installed,, need to trim bumper a hair and then trace the area that will be exposed, map out the holes for the DRLs and then finish em up.
May pull in the top mounting points so they angle slightly w the bumper features.
removed the license plate, trimmed out the bumper to get more air flow and to allow the splitter rods some required room.
Again, i may ditch the walrus look here and angle them out a touch.
Air flow all set now.

Dude, you don't have air jacks in this thing? Cmon mannnnn. With all that money no because race car air jacks? Dissapoint
No but splitter will be cool. If you angle the rods out though, you're going to loose a lot of strength. A true splitter won't need much strength from those rods, but even race cars end up needing them. You do NOT want a splitter that big getting pulled under the car on the highway. A true splitter just redirects air, and doesn't really "pocket" the air (or dam it up between the bottom of the front bumper and the lip of the splitter). But a lot of cars end up getting pocketed air. Unless you have the money for a wind tunnel your best bet is to make that thing on there super strong, good for 400 ish lbs, maybe more if you want to really wind this thing out from time to time.
