I have an event on Sunday (supposed to go full-course lapping on Saturday but have decided to hold off until next month). I'll have video/photos up after the event.

As always, stay tuned! Oh, and if there is anything you guys want to see, please let me know!

Good to see you yesterday man! Nice ride!

1stOne

^Haha, that was totally random! Your car has come a LONG way since I last saw it! I'm loving it!

We were joking afterwards at how you know its a forum guy when you see the Descendant Racing exhaust!

heydan

hahaha I thought the exact same thing when I saw your exhaust.

Then I knew it was you as soon as I saw the stickers

1stOne

Haha, I feel so stupid having stickers on the car. I just keep telling myself its like a sponsored race car now and that makes me feel better hahaha.

Dude i lie in the panhandle Mightyp! what part are you in? just wondering..

Last event of the season just ended a few weeks ago. It was a nasty event. Temps were only 4 degrees Celsius and by my 3rd run, it was raining. For those of you wondering, Advans are terrible below 7 degrees Celsius and even worse in the rain when cold!

None the less, here are a few vids: 2 in the dry, 1 in the wet. (Sorry, I just realized the back cover was on the camera, therefore the sound is a little quiet!)




Enjoy!

So you're saying that +45 offset barely clears the BBK.
Is stock caliper wider than BBK ? and Therefore this wheel wouldnt fit?
+38 wouldnt fit stock caliper either? Is stock caliper really 8mm wider than BBK?

i was thinking the same thing. I'm going to put RPF1's on my car in the spring. Need to make sure they clear though

1stOne

Its not a necessarily matter of caliper size, its the location of it.

The stock rotor is obviously smaller than the TRD BBK rotor, so the caliper is closer to the hub than the TRD. This is the problem. Because RPF1's over 9" wide have concave spokes, the spokes bowl in towards the hub so much that they come into contact with the stock caliper. The TRD caliper is further away from the hub center providing it move clearance with the spokes, but because it is wider it still comes extremely close. But, at least it doesn't touch.

I currently run 3mm hub-centric spacers I had made on the car for added clearance.

Scion202

who makes the spacers?
model #?

1stOne

Sorry. Had them custom made to my specs through a local machine shop. Check with your local machine shops as they should be able to help. Otherwise there are lots of locations online that can do them.

Wow, I'm a little late on this... I was on a modding hold, so I was trying to avoid the forum/temptation.

I used to live near Fort Walton Beach. I've since moved to the Phoenix area.

@Matt: How have you been? Haven't seen much of you or Colin since it got cold up there. Anything new and exciting in your world?

1stOne

Nothin' too new. We are both extremely busy and Colin has rotated to another department now. Our activity has slowed, partially because of the cold but also due to work load.

Don't worry, we're still around ;)

How's it going!?

Wow, you really need to give us a good update! For the first time, my build thread has more views than yours!

Scion202

However a better way is to measure popularity which would be measured as views per post


However that also depends on how long you've been a member/had a thread

Yo I was number one on that list #2!

I'm waiting for spring for my next mods....

On a side note, 1stOne. Ive noticed since I got coils the car has lots of body roll :/ would you consider the trd sways a good investment even tho I have drastically lowered the car?

Thanks

looks like cut springs wins lol

maybe this elite group of 10 need a group too, since i think the top 10 are all OG owners - we need moar credit because we have the oldest, biggest, and most looked at penises! i mean tC2s
