First photoshoot with the X

Finally got a chance to take some pictures of the X with the RG-II's on. Enjoy!

















Big thanks to Speed Element for sourcing the replacement wheel!

Looks good man, we should do a real photoshoot of our cars.. Both silver on silver with no wing. I think I could make it look pretty good.

Looks great. Did Andy at Speedelement tune it for you? Did you do the Nisei UICP, drop in , exhaust and tune - and what numbers you get? Where did you pick up the license plate holder and how held in place?

No, Andy went back to school. SE doesn't have a tuner at the moment. The UICP doesn't effect the stock tune that much so you don't have to worry about bolting that on. The intake and exhaust however will change things, but not to the degree which merits a tune immediately.

The car currently has Naj's basemap which we are slowly modifying as I learn how to tune. No numbers as of yet, but the VDR gave me 266whp and 280wtq based on GST's dyno calibrations. I am currently still rocking the stock exhaust, but I am building my own single-exit. I am finding it difficult to build one which is lightweight and very quiet. Soon enough though.

The license plate is held in by magical zip ties.

I love how no one has asked me about the side markers yet.....

Actually that would be awesome. I will send you a PM around the next time I am around the area. I actually live 2 hours north of Fremont...

Did you paint your valve cover, or is it a 2010 with a black plastic one?

I believe all the 2010's come with a plastic black valve cover.

That's not a 2010. Look at the tails. That looks like crinkle black. Also noticed the wire tuck on the valve cover.
