just received my front and rear splash guards and H&R 20mm spacers (should I even use them at the track at all?) they are not the stud replacement one.
Next week I should pick up the Seibon Nsm Wing!

Check out pics in my journal on the 20mm spacers with splash guards and not lowered. It doesn't look bad, but the spash guards don't help much after putting the spacers on. I'll be removing mine.

Started on the mods tonight. GTR button:installed. Interior LEDs:installed. License plate & back up light LEDs:installed. Didn't have time to do the parking light LEDs before it got dark (ironically). And the Mobil 1 oil cap...that was the toughest! Tomorrow is install the front LEDs & then I dunno. May start on the Dynamat. I am up to 145 miles on it now.

martin- if your car isn't lowered having splash guards and 20mm spacers on the rear stock wheels might look werd. the splash guards looked out of place when i tried that long time ago.

Ahh, didn't know, since I track the car a lot, going again tomorrow and tuesday! I thought it would help a lot, tons of tire debris and rocks at the race track, if I don't like them I'll only put them on for the race track. I am thinking of taking off the 20mm spacers also when I go to the race track unless they are OK to track on thoughts? Bought the splash guards used for a very good price.

I will have my KW v3's on order hopefully next week, not thinking of doing much of a drop at all, need to put more money together to order the kinetix kit also all around. I need way more camber for the track! Next is a harness bar just like the robispec one.

Installed the new HU last week, finally I have time to setup the EQ and Display!!

A nice investment since the new HU has much better sound quality and display the info of the playing contents in Chinese characters too. Very nice features that I've been looking for a HU that is capable to do it!!

One of the features I like the best is I can upload a picture to use as the wallpaper. And of course, I uploaded one of my own Z pictures. hehee

A lot of guys here track with spacers on and don't have any problem. As long as they're quality (and hubcentric if you're running stock wheels) you shoud be fine.

It's also helpful if they are not direct bolt on. If you're running the spacers that replace the stock bolts it's a much better combination, because the wheel is directly bolted to the hub, as opposed to being directly bolted to the spacer.

Came out of work to see this:

Grass clippings and dirt blown over my ENTIRE car!!




Come Monday, the service that takes care of the lawn at work is going to be hearing from me.
