Hopefully...guy in the club got rid of his G37 and now has a GTR and raves about icar so I want to check it out.

I want to get into some more "official" lapping next year...icar have Time Attack nights like the autodrome?

Ya, I quickly realized sharing helmets is pretty damn gross lol. :barf:

Plus I can use it for go karting in winter :)

Thanks man

I would have gotten the original CF INGs but I'm pretty sure i'll damage this one in no time at all lol.

A company called Nextmod sells them. nextmod.com, it was $230 when I got it. A little more rough around the edges than other replicas imo

I'm a member there so there is timing. But I you are in the higest group on Tuesday there is overtakin everywhere so you can get your adrenaline going. The gtr under steers a lot at icar it's to heavy its a tight technical track so great to improve skills.

Ahhh, nice. Well I guess I'll practice on Sunday nights and work my way up to that for next year!! I have to come watch a session

Still haven't put the lip on, maybe by next week...should have more time

I updated a thread in the Wheels section, but some progress pics on my wheels by ISS Forged :)

Outside of getting these, some tires and putting the lip on, might be the last things I do before she goes into storage this winter. The wheels will make a huge change on the car though.

I figure I'll save some stuff for next year lol.

Love the car, I just picked up the exact same one 2 weeks ago. I look forward to seeing it progress :)

Thanks guys

Well just some iPhone pics for now...might get some decent ones at the Monday night meet

Picked em up Monday, most of them fit in the back of the wife's X5.

Opened one box, just like the pictures. They were super light weight. :D

Went to Spark Motoring in Laval to mount my tires. Love those guys, awesome work!

One issue, seems like the fronts are not really 19x10. They are more like 19x9.5 and the rears are more like 19x10.5 instead of 11. So speaking to ISS about this. I was still able to mount the 305's I had in back. Good thing I had trouble finding 285's, I put my existing 275's in front and it still looks a little fat. When I get my RE-11's for lapping next year, I'll go smaller with a 265 in front.

Outside of that, this is them:

Huh, oh ya...305's, no big deal
