I was wondering, what kind of alignment do you run right now?
Thanks man, let me know about the suspension, it's still available.

I run -2.5˚ Front and -1.5˚ Rear with 0 toe all around.

Anything sub 2:30 is great there when me and my friend were there in spring we were both at around 2:34 on most laps but that was on all seasons and stock struts ... I still dought i can stay with ya with the slew of mods and your nonstop 110% driving ,,,,
So even with the bigger turbo are you able to go all out for a 20 minute session brakes, coolant ,oil temps all stay in check?

I'm sure we'll have fun together, I'll find a date that works and we can have some fun! And to answer your question, yes. The tune on the car (460whp+) is VERY conservative to keep everything safe and very reliable. I have a brake duct kit (see pic) and JDM RS grills (pic) that help with brake temps and oil temps. I also removed the A/C and the condenser is gone letting more air to the rad.

Where did you get the brake duct kit from? I would love to remove the fogs to allow more air in but I haven't really seen many options out there.

+ I'm for sure going to remove one of the fogs when I pick up the AMS CAI.

I made the duct kit myself

I bought some JDM RS grills to replace the fogs, they look very clean. Here's a closer pic, you can see both the ducts and the JDM grills:

I am searching the threads trying to find more pics of your X inside and out.

The JDM grills are where the foglights were, the brake ducts are separate from them. You can see the black ducts on both sides of the intercooler.

Wow, I've been kicking around the idea of possibly picking up a Evo X and originally wanted another white one. After seeing yours though blue is looking really nice at the moment. Great looking car all around, great driving in the vids, and thanks for screen savers

japanparts.com
Parts: 330-022-001 and 330-022-002. Also I'm guessing you need the fasteners/bolts as seen in this pic: http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...ase=1&no=16228

BTW, got better pics of your brake duct kit? I would like to see how they are mounted and such.

I don't have many pics of it. I made my own aluminum caliper brackets, carved my own path for the 3" ducting (good grinder skills ) and I bought the black ducts online.
