Wink Facelift preview: Amuse, ARC, Clearcorners.com, C-west, JP, 350evo, Takata, Varis

Hey guys, just wanted to post up my latest progress. I am trying to prepare the car for this year's events. Hopefully, I can finally make it out to some Redline, Speedventures, and NASA events this year. With the cage finally being tackled last year, i'm hoping to finish up more suspension mods to make it feel like it is riding on rails.

I plan to go with a custom paint job inside and out this time. Little minor touches/changes will be added as well for effect

Anyways, here are the details. I pulled out some of my race gear and messed around with the car on jack stands lol. Enjoy:

Coming soon:

-GT Spec fender braces
-GT Spec dry carbon strut bar
-GT Spec under panel
-GT Spec front lower arm (revised version; clears aftermarket oil pans)
-Powergrid Sway Bar Endlinks
-KW V3 coilovers (KW Competition coilovers hopefully coming in March )
-SPC Toe bolts
-Osirus reflash
-Braille B2015C Battery (I destroyed 2 B14115's due to neglect)
-Nismo S1 Engine Cover
-Motorydyne Shockwave Exhaust
-Corner Balance (Can't wait to see the new weight!)
-Full paint job

Currently being test fitted/installed:

-C-west hood
-Seibon OEM Style CF Fenders
-Mastergrade A-pillars
-350evo A-arms
-ARC Radiator
-ARC Front Underpanel
-O6 OEM Front Bumper
-JP Type-S Front Lip
-SFI rated roll cage padding
-Takata Crotch Strap
-Aerocatch hood pins
-Zoom Rear view mirror

EDITED to include my CURRENT MODS for those that have pm'd:

You're gonna have fun driving with this particular front lip. I scrape everywhere...but i'm never scared it'll crack/break. Super urethane FTMGDW.

Looking forward to seeing your new setup

Agreed, but I cherish my relationships with those that have always helped and been there for me. So we'll see how things pan out.

Someone left a nice present for me on the 57 Freeway heading North. It looked like a huge chain linked line with some sort of hook at the end of it. The front lip of my bumper did not stand a chance since there were cars on both sides of me. It has since found a new happy home for a nice DIY project.

Thanks. The helmet is the entry level Sparco helmet.

Me too! I have been waiting ages for an opportunity to get this thing. My last hood took a decent beating and lasted me 4-5 years and still running strong. Just has some blemishes, which prompted me to get one of my holy grails as far as hoods anyways. It is really light and very well constructed.
