Default Ahobbs Exospeed Racing Street Edition

My good friend Antwaine, better known as Ahobbs just finished his street race EJ1which I’ve been dying to shoot. He agreed to let me and we came together to make this shoot happen. I just wanted to show you guys how it came out. I absolutely love this front end. It has a stock look, which is not to be underestimated. The Star 8 Exospeed wheels really put a new dish on the table. I hope you guys enjoy.

I watched some of your build-up thread. I used to watch the one where you had the stock engine. I too pushed my stock GSR on my old turbo setup. It was running fine until a small chunk of steel ended its life.

just run a couple passes and lift until youre in the low 11s and youre sure you can get 9.99, then rip the pass and go home.

exospeed, if youre reading this, with the huge rise in popularity of road racing its beyond me why you are not making a +25ishmm fiberglass fender for all the hondas. you'd sell a ton more than you would drag front ends right now. just make something a little more mild than the drag front end that at least comes close to meeting the bumper.

ya we do have the fender only option that will retain the stock arch for the RR guys. Its in the works. Actually the prototype is done. There's just so much we are working on its hard to do them all right away. We've fit the popular wider wheels that use the more aggressive offset on the new fender option.

I have at least 5 separate projects in the works that are totally unrelated that is in the background. Keeping up with the current stuff plus coming out with new things is overwhelming. I assure everyone that we have some cool stuff coming out for everyone in the next 12 months. Drag, Road Race, Show. We always like to bring out something different at the same time useful for the scene.
