Default In the Rain

Just thought I would post up a rain shot I took while driving our shop car around this past week. Now rolling on our side-ducted oil cooler setup, solid spherical bearings at all locations and testing our new camber correcting upper control arm in this shot. Wheels are BC Forged monoblock RT53 19x9.5 square.
Enjoy.



One more really showing of the monster stoppers on our F.

Very cool shot! I'll definitely be interested in the new upper control arm when it's released...

Yes please update when new release the new revised upper control arm this is a part I want to get in the spring 2017 prior to me lowering a car. I want to ensure I have the new control arms with the LCA bushings installed before lowering my F.

Haha just kidding. I drove my NSX in the snow on R888's when we moved cause I needed to get the car to the new house and couldn't stall any longer. I had to change my shorts when I arrived.
