The stance on the 92's is spot on!!

[mr_miles]

hehe, sorry for the delay in updates - been fairly busy doing misc things around the house. updates asap, I promise!

[yPod09]

Looks REALLY good. Great tire/wheel sizing combination, looks like a slight amount of stretch.

What happened to the gold wheels? Those are some of my favorites ever!

[mr_miles]

The enkei 92's are 15x8 +25mm offset, with 195/50 series tires :). i got rid of the 522's a long time ago, traded them for the D2's. Now I'm probably trading the d2's this week lol. Maybe for some 0 offset wheels....either way im sure you guys will see them :p

[mr_miles]

Hokai. Some updates, yo!

here it is all tinted,Right before I bathed her. It's apparently a 38% tint, which according to the tint guys, evens out to about 35 after installation (because of the slight tint yaris windows apparently have), so i'm at the legal limit in Oregon. They used some sort of "carbon series" tint, which apparently good. LOL BEATS ME I DUN NO NUTHIN BOUT NO TINT. *I went with this shop as he was a childhood friend of one of my good friends, got a discount, lifetime warranty, and they'll change it to whatever I want if i ask*


Oh look, you can see the D2's inside. Was going to trade them but the guy lied about the condition of his wheels, so NO GO.


A shot of the vinyl work. Absolutely craptacular. The vinyl ripped and stretched way to easy when I applied any heat. Fortunately, this was bought solely to test wrapping awkward pieces like that, so it's 3 dollars not particularly wasted. For some reason I couldn't get the wrinkles out of the folded over edges. any pros with suggestions on how to do it? I've always wrapped large flat pieces, or small simple things. any help on folding corners and stuff is appreciated!



Interior shot of how I'm rolling as of the moment. Gotta finish the speakers, asap. I need my damned music, dear god.



And finally, the exhaust! It's way low to the ground, and to think i'm actually riding higher than I normally do! this will be interesting...









overall I'm surprisingly pleased with how the TI-C sounds. it's not loud at all. at an idle it's very smooth. sounds a little ballsy when I step on it, but not ricey or fart-canish at all! The video's make it sound borderline aggravating, but IMO it sounds nothing at all like it does on youtube.

thanks bud!

[b20vteg]

btw, do they have any other colors besides what's on the site? :S

[mr_miles]

It seems they rotate colors out periodically on the site.

Updates tomorrow maybe, going to tinker and finish up some stuff, i hope :)

[CPALK719]

Not sure as to what you vinyl wrapped. but any more info on the carbon fiber on the dash area??? i was thinking of getting or trying to make a carbon piece for that area around the radio. it looks good !!

[mr_miles]

the carbon fiber that's on the dash is the stuff that I wrapped :p Going to be re-doing it soon, lol. It's crappy.

Currently the silencer is out, but in the pictures and my first impressions like in that post are with the silencer in. I like it both ways, so I figure I'll roll with it out for a few until I get tired of the noise, then put it back in. Even with the silencer out, it's not terrible. it drones a little bit at say 1900 rpm, but that it. I LOVE the idle sound it has without it, too. I'll try and record it.

i was wondering how you were able to stick the cf wrap onto that portion of the dash, considering the surface has all those little dots which would make it harder to stick.

I'm definetly digging those eyelids, did you costum make them or bought them somewhere ?

the vinyl I had held to it pretty well, actually. I wasn't expecting to to do so, but it's pretty well on there.I'm redo-ing it soon, got some more vinyl in. also, my shock warranty came back, so yay I can put my car back where it usually rides.
