Kain's pictAr thread, part deux

[Kain]

After realizing that I hadn't taken any pics in a year (attn), I figured today was as good a time as any. This morning I purchased my new set of wheels, threw my old tires on them and gave her a bath.

RAYS duralumin lug nuts

Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires

TWM Big Type R shift knob
Redline leather shift boot, brake boot, and armrest

Rays look great

Still looks good. Even the engine bay is still nice and clean.

My comments:

1. Unique Color Combo-grey and red lip is awesome
2. Awesome wheels (Volks FTW)
3. Engine bay is so clean! (Makes me want go clean mine and replace any off-colored hoses with neat matching ones--I have a blue intake and am going for a red theme......doh!)
4. Short shifter finally makes the thing look like it's a car. not a truck!

Nice job on the pics too! I'm really like the direction you are going with the car!

You can get them here (I don't know if that's where Kain got them).

Very clean Kain. I'm liking the wheels, a nice take on the time attack theme.

Looks good, a mild drop would bring it all together quite nicely.

Use your brakes for gods sake and wipe off the rust on the rotors, geez.

 

[Tungsten6]

he just washed it....
thats what happens to cars rotors when they get wet.......

 

[Tyrdstorm]

Did you have to roll your fenders at all? My rims are the same size and offset and I wanted to fit 235-40's on them.

Thanks man, I never knew that.

Thanks man, I never knew that.

No problem... i thought everyone knew that.

If you're into tasteful mods and expensive, well appointed wheels, I guess it's ok. If that's your thing and all.

Thanks, fellas.

Fleabay. Just do a search for mazdaspeed fuse cover.

Newp, though not all 235/40-18s are the same.

larf.

I'm avant-garde like that.

So, I haven't changed much to the car since I last took pictArs a year ago. Installed now are hood lifts and the GV replica lip (thanks, Swampy!).

Enjoy my dirty engine bay, mediocre photography skills with a point-and-shoot, and sketchy mini-mall backdrop.

EDIT: nevermind the black swiggly line in pictAr #2. Must've had a seizure using MS Paint.

thumbs up!
