555sexydrive Work In Progress

Strong work...I'd love to take it for a spin.
Is MFactory the only source for a LSD? Not that there's anything wrong with MFactory...just curious. A 5.x final drive would be a nice add on if you were going through the trouble of cracking the bell housing...

Well at least would like to pick up the USDM 4.62, the final here is a 4.29. I was actually looking at going with ATS/Across' carbon diff. MFactory I believe is using a Quaife, nothing wrong with them, but I want even more lockup. I emailed Quaife asking and they said they weren't sure if their diff would work inside the GE8 tranny, but sent me drawings and details of it.

Well condidering it would cost me about $6500 because the $ is becoming the new world peso, I am leaning slightly away from it. If Hayashi-San of Toda makes a FightexDA for me as a one-off I will go that route for sure, if he just starts putting them out there for the GE, I will probably still lean that way. And at half the cost my wallet will thank me. hahaha

Yeah they are an excellent suspension and I would really love to have them, but I also need to consider how many times will I be out on circuit to cost ratio. Who knows though, I may just say like I always do, you only live once and end up with them.

Well it only took about 7 weeks, but finally arrived this evening...
Had it painted prior to delivery as I didn't feel like taking it somewhere, I just wanted to put it on when it arrived. Took the small side carbon winglets off the J's front lip and just attached them with double-sided tape for now. Since they are not actually made for the GT bumper, the 3 holes don't really line up for mounting, I can get 1 for sure and possibly a 2nd to give a little more security if I decide to keep them on.

Thanks guys. JC, most definitely I could see that. If I do make my way back stateside, I was thinking of locating to Texas around Austin or San Antonio, but would prefer the Austin area, especially with Circuit of the Americas being laid down.

i support your decisions of coming to texas!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a young guy that works for one of the better repair shops here and drives a fast Prelude I ran into awhile back.... He told me he had heard about my car from some other guys his age that are into the tuner car thing.... That made me feel pretty good. They would be freaked to the max if you other guys were to pop in at their weekly get together every Saturday night in the Sears parking lot.
