you can always invest in some spacers!

I'd prefer to do it once and do it right. I'll find a different rim them

[EGB]

Hey guys, any suggested brake upgrades for the FD2? My rotors and pads are on the way out

As said above, You will need JDM DC5R Brembos, Pads are same as R32/33/34 GTR brembo. S2000 300mm rotors and 3 mm spacer between rotor and hub to space rotor to centre of caliper.

700 for Caliper
200 Rotor
250 Pads
Spacer - Washers, or metal plate

Best combo you are ever gonna need.

I ran this setup.

Question: Just had my mugen lip kit painted, and installed.

just realised, the paint isn't 100%.

The same colour code etc, but the lip is abit more darker, and the car itself , the paint is abit faded.

What can be done??

repaint it.

the only way to match correctly is to get a computer to analyse the colour and mix

however it can still mismatch if it's badly sprayed (in the case of metallics/pearls)

I suppose I can't get the painter to repaint it for free. Lol, I'm low on cash now. Dammit.

You should be able to get them to fix it. You have done nothing wrong and he didnt do his job right?
Go show them and they should be able to work something out. Im an Apprentice spraypainter and my boss
wouldnt even let something like that be sent out.

Such a wealth of knowledge!

hey guys, havent comment here in ages.

just some minor updates



BBS LM's 17x9 +35 all around. planning to reverse mount but decided to do it later.

That's f***ing nice bro! So thats where the guy's BBS went!

Hey Guys. Do you guys know what 17x8+40 front and rears will look like on the FD?
I saw these Blitz Type 01 Wheels for sale but i want something that is going to be Flush/poke
The offset seems a little high

No poke whatsoever, you need around +35 or less offset for it to poke i believe. As above stated spacers are a good investment. I got a set of 15mm bolt ons for sale if youre interested.

all around

How would they fix it? Strip and repaint? Or just repaint on top, I guess I'll go ask. =/ Or hope that over time the colour will even out? ahah.

Well when he was installing it for me, he found that my left rear shocks were leaking, surprisingly since its only been 2 years exactly when I got the car new.

Getting serviced on friday, hope they dont charge an arm and a leg for new shocks.

got Type R rear seats with door trims w/ switches and all.

pics will be uploaded later as i still got my stuff in it.
