They are the 6ulr's which look decent on ap1s personally.
Regarding the car, may as well buy a base model and paint it. Other than some interior and some braces you've changed everything that makes it a cr.

Aren't those some big $$$ shocks with the remote reservoirs zip tied like that? Is that a standard install for them?

You're gonna autocross w/ that battery set-up? IMO you're asking for a short.

I may put the lip and wing back on after all this hate, The lip is 3 lbs and the wing is 12, I took them off for a :run what you brung" race last season and haven't put them back on, plus the 2 top STR cars in the nation also removed them.

I've never had that issue with my JRZs, that was a issue with the TCKlines that a few of my friends ran

the wheels are a track wheel, becauseracecar. They are stained in XR3 brake dust. With that said Im in the works of picking up some silver PF01's.

Dude, its called wieght reduction, I'd run the battery ziptied in if I wasn't to lazy to take the fender off to run the zip ties. I've ran this way 2 years, the battery only weights 3 lbs.

As for the shocks yes they are about 10k retail, I've got about $7k in them. The prefered mounting out be to drill holes and put them in the trunk, wasn't drilling holes in a 25+k CR. This mounthing works well.

You are out there competing and driving the wheels off this thing regularly, so I can dig it! Sure I prefer the lip and wing, but can understand why you took them off...I bet the stock front lip was really good at clipping cones lol.

I tend to agree with this, lightweight everything but retains ac, I understand that ac is nice but the "#becauseracecar" would normally have ac removed. Had you thought about getting a regular ap2 bumper to clean it up?
From the looks you run autocross, what class and are those the x 9 6ulrs?

Maybe a 5 or 6/10. A CR should be more, well... original CR. Also, not feeling the wheels at all, regardless of the "because race car" blah blah. I hope you AT LEAST have ALL of the stock CR parts in storage.

I run STR localy/nationally, I have a few national tour trophies and win basicly every single locally race, I'm talking PAX for the day, not just class.

I've debated a reg bumper repainted but I also debate putting the lip back on. Yea the wheels are 17x9 6ulrs.

Few pics...

Rookie of the year


Old pic I found, all of these are first place Pax or Raw, I have about 30 of these now. I can provide a picture for proof...






Baller ass shocks
