Yeah, looking at those parking spots, you would almost think California didn't hate cars! Great pic, iH8!

New wheel set-up is on . 19x10.5 all round, with custom offsets of +37 front and +45 rear. Running 275/30/19 up front and 285/30/19 in the rear, Hankook Ventus Evo 3's.

Took quite a bit of shaving, heating and trimming to get it to work without rubbing since the car is on coilovers, but after playing with the ride height and damper it is pretty much perfect

Just this one, for those who weren't there, people were still rolling in~ this is maybe less than half of the total F's (both sides of the rows behind the front line were filled too)

I got caught up with catching up with people so I didn't continue shooting.

3k mile road trip in late Sept and early Oct...
States visited: 8
Max mileage tank: 402
Highest octane tank: 92
Best rest stops or visitor centers (tie): Montana, Idaho
Unplanned "scenic detours": 1

This car is an effortless interstate cruiser with plenty of cargo space for driver and one passenger (we packed heavy with our own foodstuffs and related gear). But it sure would be nice to have roof rail studs to enable mounting a cargo box without door clips.

Christmas came early for the IS-F

Switched out the BC Gold coilovers to MCA Reds that are made in Australia. Decided to replace some of the suspension components while I was in there as it has done 252,000km (156,000 miles).

Handles great now and is a lot more responsive to steering input.

* MCA Red Series coilovers:
- Spring rates: 21kg front, 12kg rear
- Race spec internal valving.

* New OEM:
- Front lower control arms.
- Front lower balljoints.
- Front & rear swaybar D bushes.
- Front & rear swaybar links.

Recent wheel/tire set up is:
- 19x10.5 square (+37 front, +45 rear).
- 275/30/19 front.
- 285/30/19 rear.

Paired with the Cusco 2-way LSD and RR Racing USRS lower control arm bushes it's an animal on the street, but still very driveable without any noticeable NVH. Close the Varex exhaust valves and you could almost think you're in a Camry

Time to get it on the track!
