I’ll start this off with a picture of the box the hood came in (along with the diffuser and spoiler):
Unwrapping all the bubble wrap to unveil this carbon fiber beauty:
I also got this nice low profile spoiler that sits on top of the tail light section. I wasn’t a fan of any of the other [...]
This is actually my third time changing out the cat-back. The first one I put on was a GT-Spec, but I eventually found it too bulbous looking. Then I wanted something louder, so I had the straight pipe made at a local shop… that was fun and all but I wasn’t thoroughly happy with the [...]
Last weekend there was a Charity Car Show locally, so I rolled through. After donating a toy, I was given a number for my car to enter in the “show.” Well, since I didn’t want to go up the driveway into the parking lot and scrape my bumper, I parked across the street. This was [...]
The stock shift knob and boots started to grow old on me, and I wanted something with a bit more “racey” feel to it, but still subtle. To match my steering wheel, I went to RedlineGoods and ordered a pair of shift and e-brake suede boots. Black on Black, I could’ve done red stitching but [...]

After making my way to SevenStock XII, [...]

I had bought an aluminum Fluidyne racing radiator a while ago, and it sat primarily against the wall of my garage for months. I decided to clean it up and tackle the install, since at this time I came up on a nice deal for a RX7Fashion FMIC.
As it goes, you always gotta start by [...]

I’ve always wanted some new seats although the stock FD ones are rather comfortable; however, the leather doesn’t really hold you in. Plus, some Black seats would be a nice balance of Black and Tan in the interior.
I went with some Bride VIOS III seats, which come with the signature sparkle silver backing, and I [...]
A friend of mine came over and we went on a drive. His car is a clean R1 with non-staggered Enkei RPF1’s. There was this cool park area that leads to the fishing pier right next to the Dumbarton Bridge, so we stopped by there.
