+1

even nice authentic brands, they never use nice , multiple clear. As caltrisc said, a lot use gelcoat.

to save yourself from yellowing of carbon and fading, if you put on a quality clear and get it wetsanded and buffed, it will look extra shiny with a durable automotive clear that can take a beating in the sun.

thank you fellow HRE wheel owner. they are super light for the size and width.

neither the m6 or the isf has been the beater lately with the weather here in NC. I drive my company bmw 3 series. about to buy a ls400, is300 or gs300 for my daily beater/toy.

the s85 engine itself is very reliable. it's a good N/A motor. the ISF still "feels" faster imo. i have the apex throttle controller and the m6 has the sprint booster as well but still the isf feels faster with it or without it. my isf is about two car lengths slower up to 150mph, haven't gone faster than that in the race though.

i got this in this week finally after about 3 weeks and a lot of headaches. Ebrake alum pedal.








Just ordered new wheels as well, doing a 245/35 275/30 flush set up. I'll keep it a surprise until i get them hopefully by next friday. **hint** wider than oem, 20 lbs each for front and almost 21 lbs for the rears.

Been working on this all weekend and finally got everything dialed in and alignment back to perfect oem specs with stock components. kind of jealous that the iSF doesn't have the same adjustment with a bigger drop.

Nice M6 bro. Looks really good, by you posting the drop photos.. it looks like you resolved the issue with the incorrect coils they sent you.

[QUOTE=ISFPOWER;7802130]thanks Shadow.

Did you get a (double screw) adapter plate to fit the new pedal on the stock base?
