Well, here is my "usual" update on what's going on over in the states... I have gotten a few more things done to my car, and for once, it's not entirely "cosmetic" ;) Just to list off the new mods: Stoptech Brakes 18T Turbo @ 18+ psi (1.25+ bar) 3" Downpipe with no catalytic converter (supposed to have one in the US :cuckoo:) Woth R-line tuned ECU ATP Turbo Manual Boost Controller Innovate Wideband Defi Boost Gauge Image The brakes... Black Stoptech's behind some dark wheels. Image A typical night shot outa me, how could I not? ;) Image On the rooftop level of a parking garage just before sunset (sun is behind the camera). Image The gauges. Image And just a bigger version of my sig picture. Enjoy, hopefully I can get some new pictures soon.

very nice, as always! that brake/wheel combo looks fantastic, what colour do they call that for the rims? Is a fair buit darker than the original Titans colour but looks great :)

I wanted the Pegs to be dark, but not black... I think I got the right color combo I was looking for.

[QUOTE=Redbrick]Very, very nice :) What shock and spring combo are you using? Thanks[/QUOTE] Not KW V2's ;) I will trade you + cash if you'd like... I have Koni Struts, Volvo rear shocks (replaced with new ones at time of suspension upgrade), and EST springs. And, I believe the EST springs are made by SAM, at least that's rumor that I have heard....?

As usual Carson more stunning pics!!! Without doubt one of my favourite cars on here!!! Cant wait to see it with the VST (?) front bumper on it !! So hurry up LOL ! Arbee, if you are going to get your wheels done i had my pegs changed from the lighter colour to anthracite at the powder coaters, I dont think that when powder coating them there is many choices in colour variation ...if you want to pick a shade i would say the you would need to blast , prime, and pick a colour and two pack them ..with a coat of laquer to seal them ...here is mine after powder coating

[QUOTE=The Flying Banana]Have the lights been changed to stock..they look different in the pics?[/QUOTE] Yep, the lights are stock right now. I am having some issued with the Jewel lights, so until it gets resolved, I have to use these :( They don't look all that bad though. And, I ended up taking some more pictures over the weekend, here are a few of them :) Image My car with my good friend Doug's T-5R. It is probably one of the fastest 850's in the US, he just finished doing a complete motor build up with a GT3751R (if I remember correctly) turbo @ ~1 bar. After driving it, I would definately compare it to "Overladed"s 850 :rice: :rice: :rice: Image For more pictures of Doug's T-5R/build up, check out his pbase account (click the above picture), it's really amazing! Image Beautiful sunset lighting is always a great time to take pictures. Image Nice camoflauge... Just if I had a Olive Green T-5R, that would have blended in a little bit better ;) Anyways, hope you enjoy the shots as always.

Not happy 2 hear the "jewels" are off due to problems! I have made a comment re this on the other thread in the mods section, could be a spanner in the works. Carson's R is a really lovely lookin mota:) I gotta b honest, I know mine aint an R but if I could get it to look even half as spesh I'd be one velly happy chap and then there's the performance:biggrin: Top marks Carson:)
