Getting close to being done. Nagisa Auto Gacchiri fender braces, Do-Luck cross bar, Spec stage 2+, and a car alarm is all I need left to purchase. I'll have to prioritize paint and body work for now. Epic bitch of the past 2 months of bills and other family responsibilities that need attention so my IS300 budget has dwindled down. The interior is very near to completion. A few tweaking of the E-brake handle and installation of the audio system and that's it. A Mishimoto radiator and Figs clutch delete still needs to be installed, but that's it for the motor. I'll be posting pictures soon. I just needed to get this out of my head and onto print.

AME Circlar Spec R.....regretably for sale.

After much pondering I have decide to sell my new pair of Circlar Spec R rims. Yikes. I can't believe this is going to happen. Anyways, if I don't get these sold at my asking I will keep them and just work a couple extra shifts and fund my daily RPS13 project that way.

So here I go. One pair of AME Circlar Spec R is for sale. Gold spokes and polished barrels. The center caps with its mounting hardware and matching valve stems are included. These rims are new and never used or test fitted. They have been stored for a long while in its original package.

Specs are 18x10 +10 offset in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. The edge of the rims are still wrapped in the blue protective plastic.

My asking price is $1000.00 and that is FIRM. Locals preferred and cash only. I might consider shipping, but locals have priority. The buyer has to pick up and I am not meeting anybody halfway from anywhere.

Be a wolf.....be Heroic.

Everyone I know that rides bikes rocks Alpinestars and nothing against them, but I rather gear that not everyone has. In other words would you rather be a sheep and follow what everyone wears or be a wolf and lead be example of being an individual by rocking a non-mainstream brand name, yet with similar or in my opinion better quality gear. The dilemma is finding this ideal combination. A while back I purchased a matching set of gloves and boots from Heroic Racing. I've read nothing but glowing reviews about Heroic Racing's products.

The fit is on point as I do prefer a tight fit, but not in any way constricting. I can feel I am still an extension of my bike being "one" with it as compared with other bulkier motorcycle gear. The overall feel is comfy yet protective and still stylish without that "armored" look. The design is definitely unique and delivers in standing out from the herd of sheep that wears the typical motorcycle gear.

I do have an Alpinestars gear and I am satisfied on the form and function. One being a backpack and another product being a textile jacket given to me by a friend, but if Heroic Racing ever produces a line of backpacks and jackets. I would not hesitate to purchase them.

Another addition to the S-Chassis family...

Another hatchback soon to be added with the Kouki S14 and Kouki RPS13. Pictures will be up after I have completely finished it. Definitely a stock KA24DE. No headers, no cold air intake, just a grounding system and NGK wire and spark plugs. Oh, and a K & N air filter and Royal Purple oil. Tranny will have an Exedy stage 1 clutch and Findanza light weight fly wheel. Kaaz Super Q 2-way. Driveshaft shop aluminum 1 -piece.

As for the body and paint. Yes, super black KH3 (or else what's the point of being in Club BalckOut). JDM Kouki complete front bumper, side skirts, and rear valances, but no rear spoiler or Kouki tail lights. I already have the kouki front bumper, side pieces, brackets, and lip spoiler. I just want something different and as low key as possible.

The 3rd brake light and antenna will stay, but the rear wiper, rear windshield sprayer, and rear side markers will be shaved off. Along with any other holes from the USDM rear spoiler.

The interior is dooky brown/tan. If anything I'll find an uncracked dash and maybe keep the interior as is. I was thinking of replacing it with a black interior, but that's a lot of work piecing together all those interior parts. The seats will be replaced with a no brand name reclining racing seats. I already have a pair in mind. I just got to remember to pick up a pair when I'm in Baldwin Park.

SPL suspension arms (no other arms or links) and a more street comfy ride. Maybe Stance GR+ or BC Racing Suspension (BR Type), Sway and strut bars.

Z32 brakes with braided lines. RSR or Energy Suspension poly urethane Bushings.

As for rims. Most likely 17s all around and very little tire stretch. In bronze.

Writing my plans always help and actually promotes implementation as much as just saying it. So completion date should be end of Summer. August 2011.

Updates will follow......

New KA24DE FullRace top mount T3 twin scroll turbo manifold

NEW!! FullRace top mount T3 twinscroll turbo manifold for a KA24DE for sale. I slight ding on the corner edge from shipping. Never mounted for test fit. This has been just sitting in plastic wrap. I've got other plans for a motor swap now so I'm not going KA-T. HPC manifold coating. Asking $1300.

Sell or part out?

I've been thinking about this for a while....mostly off and on. I'll definitely keep the TE37s though. I know if I part it out I'll get more than just selling the S14 as a entire car. I can easily keep it and run a different set up for a more milder street look. I'll see if the right buyer comes along or just go through the headache of removing parts as they sell.

I could've been completely done with my hatch by now if I didn't have the S14.

Daily it and I mean daily it.

I will not driving my kouki S14 on this set up. A more milder look in a non-staggered wheel set up and definitely smoother and quieter ride.

I'll still be able to autocross the S14 on a moments notice.
