Photoshoot Time!

A couple weeks ago, me and my boyfriend drove to Josh's(Altspace) down in the Cape to do a photo-shoot. It turned out to be a beautiful day and we got some great pictures. I just wanted to share some of them with all you.

 

15x7 Kosei K1's Babyyyy :-)

After contemplating on what size wheels I wanted to get, I ended up with 15's to keep weight of the car down. Someone had 6 of the Kosei K1's for sale in silver for only $300. WHAT A STEAL! I couldn't turn them away.  They are 15x7 with a nice aggressive +27 offset. After thinking long and hard, I decided that I wanted them in a semi-gloss black. Thanks to my boyfriend who researched and found a place nearby that could powdercoat them, we got them done in no time.  Big thanks to Robert and Joseph at Coating Application Technologies for the great job they did on the wheels!  They came out AMAZING! In the meanwhile, I had ordered Pink G2 Brake caliper paint and pink lug nuts for the final touches to the wheels.  For now I am using the stock tires on them until I decide on a nice sticky tire for a good price. yes the stock tires are not sticky at all and are way too thin :-(  but I will fix that issue soon!

H&R Springs & Corksport Rear Torsion Bar

Well, the first thing that came to my head when I pulled in and parked the 2 in the driveway after buying it was, "Damn, this car will look so much better lowered."  Knowing that I would get some wheels very soon I wanted to close that ugly gap first.  My boyfriend talked to the guys at Corksport for some H&R Springs, and the guys there worked out a deal for the springs and Corksport's Rear Torsion Bar.

OMG what an improvement in handling.  The car not only looked much better but the handling got much tighter.  The ride got stiffer but not so much that would make for an uncomfortable ride.

As for the Torsion bar it improved the roll a lot, also the turn in response of the car improved greatly along with less under steer.  Should make for some fun on the autox track :-)

Thanks to the guys at Corksport for a great product at an even better price!

Ain't nothing like a Stubby...

The first thing I bought for the 2 was an O-series Pink stubby antenna. I honestly didn't realize the huge stock one for a couple days but then when I did, it had to go. I ordered it off of Carccessory for only $10 + shipping. It works for the most part, but I do get some static every now and then...

 

When I was searching for the antenna, I came across shift knobs. As you can see I'm going with the PINK accents so I ordered a pink one off of this EBAY listing. Fits great and it feels a lot better than the stock shift knob. My boyfriend had ordered a shift boot for his RX-8 from Redline Goods so I decided to also. I got Black leather with a Pink stitching. Let me know what you think :-)
