Picked up the wheels from the Yokohama shop with the new tasty meat that will be a little cooked next Thursday over at Suzuka Southen.

This weekend will pull out the small box and amp to shed that bit of weight for the circuit. It's not much really, but no point in lugging it around circuit.

The new caps can be a pain to get all the clips fastened. Make sure to lay on a owel or something to protect them while doing it.

GF's car is a 2012 Base, but I got around to finishing up a few things on it, Custom shift knob and boot thanks to SXEXCX here on the forums. Picked up some sport wheels from JAIVEE. OEM cargo cover, FIT OEM kickplates and still have the OEM spoiler that needs to go on. Couple other things in the works too.

Stock car on day 1

Just installed splash guards on my '09 base that's been lowered on sportlines with 14" wheels and 185/60 tires. Fronts sit about an inch to an inch and a half above the ground. We'll see how long these last...

How was it putting on the visors? The 2012 instructions say it needs to be over 60 degrees, but none of the previous instructions say that. What do you think?

About 4.5~5 hour drive, need to be there at 7am for driver's briefing. Was hoping the GoPro2 I ordered would of arrived already, but no go, even though it was sent 10 days ago. Still have the original GoPro and a Sony handycam to capture some in-car footage and of other cars while I'm not out there.

Have a blast dude! Glad you will still be able to get some footage. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

I actually did this last Thursday.. but I plasti-dipped my oem wheels (with oem tires) and put those one, plus a 15mm spacer in the rear. Less wheel gap (YAY).. but higher off the ground (BOO). I need new wheels. Let the search begin.
