Matt's DB8 Picture/Progress Thread

[DA_Integra]

I'm more function > form. The main reason I went with 15s is weight reduction. Can't beat 9-pound wheels. Shedding unsprung weight was the key from the start.

9lbs wheels. Damn another reason I want some volks so light.

Nice teg. I want a 4dr so bad and you make it even worst lol,

Haha! Thanks man. Sorry...

Yup. Not only are they super light, but they're extremely strong and rigid.

Lol! Change of plans: The B18C1 will be staying with the DB8. I'm planning to get a DC2 Type R and turn it into a weekend racer, which will be receiving a K20A2 that will be fully built. I might dop a K24 into the DB8 later on. We'll see...

Gonna be dropping off the Fat Fives to be fully polished. Gonna put the RE30s in storage until the next track event. Hopefully in July.

Or give them to me to sport on my DA until you need them back lol.

No thanks. I don't think I'd let anyone borrow my RE30s. I treat them like my Jordan Retros.

My friend knows people at Mackin Industries. That's where he got them.

Got it! Unsprung weight is definetly something very over looked. I got the Cp-035's for that exact reason, 10.8lbs. for 16's isnt bad at all. My only thing is I cant find a spare, if I f*ck one up Im screwed thats why I am going to save them for the track. Hopefully the July one as well.

Are the RE's forged or cast? Probably forged huh since its so light.

Mackin Industries.

How long did that take?

How'd you order them? Their site is weird.

My friend actually just sold his 15" set of CP-035s. Are you down to go to the Speed Ventures SOW event on July 11? The RE30s are forged, just like the TE37 and CE28N.

They had them in stock. So it took a day to get them. My friend went there to pick them up for me. Are you planning to get a set of Volks or Gram Lights?

The registration isn't open yet. Just have to keep checking the driver list to see how many people are signed up. Have you been to the track before?
