wh00ps how did this get in there:


yoshi - who asks everyone to refer all question to Dropspeed

 

nice but cant til if that is a GSR w/ ITR motor or ITR w/ GSR wing
and what are those orange thingies on the brake/clutch reservoirs???

 

looks like a FBP ITR with a GSR wing....not badd....looks tight

 

Mmmmm...Stealth!

 

That's NOT an ITR!

LOL!
SWEET

 

Thanks again Yoshi, It is a 00 ITR FBP #1382 in partial stealth mode. The little orange things are to keep any fluid that could spill from the res. off the track and more importantly of the paint when road racing. All of the specs are listed in my Bio if you click on my screen name and scroll down. The Lotus ELise is something we have at work that relates to a topic from a week ago.

Thanks Mattj

Great job on the car man. Totally stealth. Wish you could make the yellow stealth.

 

 

WHat does everyone mean by STEALTH?

 

nice touch on the SVWC wheel choice

 

Matt (Dropspeed) - If you don't mind me asking, which paint did you use to paint your emblems? It kinda looks like black chrome... Also, which rails are you using on the MOMO Seat... Lastly, which MOMO seat are you using? Thanks.

 

I don't think the emblem is painted black
I think it's just the normal chrome acura emblem

 

Stealth means that some farking theif isn't going to be drawn straight to the car if it is in a parking lot. It looks a lot like a GSR at first glance, so it is "stealthed".

 

Looks clean!!!!!!!!!

 

The emblems were painted by a bodyshop with a Gloss Black so it doesn't faid into the FBP, The MOMO seat is a carbon/kevlar Nascar model, the brackets are from some Konig (european seat manufacture not Konig V-Spec) seat I had but, I had to weld the base that mounts to the floor to the sliders that fit the seat. I'm still not happy with the seat install so I'm looking for a different set-up.

Matt (Dropspeed) - thanks for the info. I've been trying to paint a regular "H" emblem in black, but couldn't get the touchup paint to work.

As for asking you about the rails... I know that a member (AdamITR) in H-T.com used Mugen rail to work w/ his Top Nascar seat. I'll probably go this route Mugen rail + K/C Acropolis or 1000 Lakes. I'm waiting for some measurements from Adam.

BTW, you're car looks awesome.

 

Nice! That's the way I wanted to do my ITR. What method of lowering the car did you use? And what size SSR Comp's are those? 17x?" TIA

 

17x 7.5 with 42mm offset, The car has APex-i N-1 coilovers, it has been lowered about 1"-1 1/4 " all the way around and corner weighted.

hey Dropspeed, nice ITR! I love the wheels, I've been wanting to get a set of gunmetal rims with that chrome outline thingy...looks tight! How much did you pay for them and where did u get them? btw, are those turnsignal lens smoked? thanx

 

What are the covers on the Master cylinders?

 

Yes the turn signal lenses are smoked, but I can't remember where I got them.

The wheels came from the Tire Rack, I think they retail for $370 a piece, I have an account with them so I paid less.

The covers over the clutch and brake cylinders are to soak-up any leakage that might occure while driving on the track, and they are Mugen so you have to buy them

Hey where did you get the half gear cover?

 

I see you have a set of the orange Mugen wrist bands

If only they came out with a matching head band...then I'd be cool at the local tennis courts

 

It starts as a full valve cover, then you start cutting.

As far as the "Mugen Wristbands" I was telling people at the track they were there is cas the car broke and I had to jog home

Mattj

 

do they make weighted ankle bands too? hehe Looks sweet dude.
