found the article that talks about the little flap forward of the front tires.

like i mentioned it's for aerodynamics (reduce drag for fuel economy i guess) but at the same time it can also create lift. removing it would make more sense if you're installing a splitter as splitters create downforce... and will look better too. :p

Received my used Berk CBE from UPS today. Everything looks to be there and in great shape despite the box being torn open upon delivery.

Hoping to install this at work tonight. Wanted to do the Berk HFCs as well but I'm waiting on gaskets and bolts from Berk.

I work for an EMS service. We have 5 50ton lifts. One happens to fit my car.. I'm hoping one of the mechanics gives me a hand though.

:iagree:

Just got back from a almost 500 mile road trip. The car did great. Got about 22MPG with mostly highway driving.

Not bad considering I was in the boost quite a bit.

Congrats Fatal, looks great!

Kewl Dem. Wish I had FI. I traveled about the same amount last weekend and got 24.1 MPG. :ugh2:

Fatal, those look sick!! Definite improvement.

Just got my GTR switch and TI shift knob in the mail from TheNismoShop. Probably will put off putting them in till tomorrow when I do my exhaust and HPS tubes at work.

Fatal- looks exciting. :D

Hey kenchan, first off the ings look great!

Well I took the car to another alignment shop and got the toe dialed into zero on all four corners. The camber is not wild like before meaning the dealership's rachk was ouit of calibration. Took it on a run this last Sat thru the canyon and.....maybe I am not used to zero toe on all fours but it was squirming a bit in the rear and the fronts felt wierd hitting bumps in the curves. You had some concerns running zero in the rears. Should I try running some toe in on the rears? I am not the best describing what is what without any proper track driving instructions and schooling so I apologize up front if I am not sure what I am supposed to be looking for. I only had about 200 miles on these new RE-11's. Could it be the tires have not scrubbed in yet?

Here are my current specs.

New alignment as of 5/20/11

Fr Left -1.6

Toe Left 0.00
Toe Right 0.00
Total Toe 0.00
Steer Ahead xx.xx

Rr Right -1.2
Toe Left 0.00

Total Toe 0.00
Thrust Angle 0.00
