5/26/17: Continued..

Since my little cousin needed a new set of wheels after our last track outing. I ended up selling him my Advan wheels.

I ended up picking up a set of these in Diamond black and in a super aggressive fitment.

Due to my new wheel set up, I decided to change my exterior fenders as well. Ordered a set of J's racing front fenders and ASM rear fenders to really complete the look.

Since I had new fenders coming in and Tom needed mine for his car to be compliant to rules for his race, I ended up selling some of my stuff to him.

So here's his car with my fenders ready for the race weekend. You gotta admit his car just looks bad ass. lol.

Meanwhile... this is how my car looks like now. Just waiting on fenders and the engine at this point.

Been debating on what color to wrap the car. Wife wanted it red and I was open to it but I kept asking myself, do i really want to wrap it a color that makes the car look stock-ish?

Debated between these colors:

Avery Night blue:

6/22/17: My shineauto replica J's racing fenders came in. They actually fit better than the authentic stuff. Shoutout to Ken from Shine Auto for being so easy to work with and creating such a quality product.

I can't say I approve of any of your choices, but the way you are blindly throwing money around amuses me greatly.

Super blunt lol...

OP, I recognize your GTR from the Club Auto Sport event, nice job. If you are serious about taking the AP2 to the track, just start going, and make these mods one at a time so you can ensure the car's reliability at the end of the build. Very few amateur track cars are built in one go due to 1) more variables = more risk of things going wrong and 2) the driver needs to get used to the car, and the more changes the more learning curve.

Aren't you the guy I met in Milpitas with the 10,000 dollar wing?
