Now that's what im talking about kj I was waiting for someone to notice that I don't have the regular cf parts, but rather the Chris Rado version. Since Descendant is my sponsor stickers help out big time!

 

Lol I noticed the Chris Rado sig, but I just thought that's how they all came.

 

Everyone else has the Password:JDM CF pieces

 

True!

So now that you are lowered, looks like you are going to need some wheel spacers. Interested??

 

LOL! i think cuz im the only other person that knew there was a chris rado version. if u look at my build thread i tried to be all ninja and just said "descendant cf cooling plate/engine cover" and didnt say anything about chris rado

anyways...i just lost one of the clips to the OEM cooling plate...does the CR one come with new clips? just so i know if i should just stick it out for now or get a replacement clip already

 

Did ya get the trunk brace in yet? I am chomping at the bit to see pics of it....

 

Yes! Sorry I just got home from the Cupcakin' for Wounded Warriors Project car show show today I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow.

 

 

so are those because of the stickers too??? if so i need to get a hold of cusco and let them know whats up, how much descendant takes care of theirs haha!

oh and bonus points for the cusco strut in the second photo! haha


(also don't forget my question above. thanks)

 

Lol......

 

I miss living in Texas where stuff actually happens! What area are you in, DFW?

 

San Antonio! First time they had the Cupcake Meet down here!

 

Also, that cusco sticker you have on the driver's strut tower is pretty cool.

OH!...this struck me while I was typing this...is that the one that came with the bar?

 

Have you gotten the rear strut brace in yet? If so, how does it feel?

 

Thank you and yes it is!

I lowered my car 2 days ago on eibach sportlines then went home and installed the trunk brace. And yesterday i was at a car show so i havent had a chance to hit the corners hard. I was also waiting for the springs to settle and get an alignment.

 

Oh thats a bit far from my old stompin ground. I spent a "wonderful" 7 weeks in San Antonio before...lol.
It seems you have more than just me wanting to see that rear brace now. I had no idea anyone was even making one, but before I go order it, I want to see what kind of space is lost in the rear. The wife boss is 100% getting the FR-S, and selling the SUV, so my car will be the cargo hauler.....yikes.

 

Hey whats up. Just thought Id say hi! This is Nick - I have the slow Black Cherry Pearl TC - met you at our hotel parking garage before CCM, in case you forgot the sn lol

 

So no clearance issues with the Descendant CAI and cusco? Did u wiggle it up and down to make sure no contact with the brace occurs while engine twists?

 

It doesn't take up that much space. Can be removed in less than 2 minutes.

500+ hp on low boost!! 21lbs high boost! Way over 160 mph on any given run lol yup that about covers how slow your car is not to mention you take out corvettes and mustangs

Yes I did. I also removed the screw with the rubber that came with the descendant intake and put the oem screw with washers to sandwich the tab that protrudes from the lower part of the intake to alow the intake to move with the engine.
