I could barely see the road so i opted in for the accessory fog light kit from Honda. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...43544332dd.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...bb562d1873.jpg My interior only came with the centre dome light, so I cut out a hole, did some research and put in my own map light (using OEM only parts, of course). https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...38c282e355.jpg Then came wheels and tires. a buddy of mine had a pair of 16" rims laying around so he gave those to me. Paired it up with RPF1's (With different offsets) to make up for one complete set. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...e24a7d1135.jpg I had 1 Recaro SPG full bucket laying around, so i tossed those in as well. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...5fbaa8951d.jpg Then a friend of mine invited me to come join them for a session on the track in late October. My fit wasn't semi track ready yet, so I got to work https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...b6741d4089.jpg Goodridge SS brake lines, Hawk HP+ pads, OEM rotors didn't like the look without side skirts or a rear spoiler, so i came across another GE8 that was involved in a front end accident, ripped the spoilter and side skirts off and fitted them on mine. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...4bc6a4d263.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ab2de684e9.jpg fabbed some brackets and mounted a LED light bar (WHY NOT?!) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ae1c085997.jpg (more to come) |

I also had installed a Cusco front upper strut bar (no picture, sorry!) Earlier in 2017.
Earlier this year, I wanted to compete in time attack racing and see where my skill level was at. first things first, suspension. I was always called out on because my car was always 4x4 stance. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...96c1c26dd4.jpg Next up, brakes again! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...107d0b9a9e.jpg Stoptech slotted rotors with hawk HP+ pads Wanted to improve my cooling efficiency, so I did this https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...11a8ab4809.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...7cdad86f6a.jpg |
