cant wait to see dext. nice seeing you here, i figured you would find your way.

[dexter_5000]

ok guys here is my lastest update i got the kelly evo z tires today mounted on the wheels. no time for pictures right now and i have to work tommorow i also got the hubcentric rings and new lug nuts as well. so i spent a chunk of change today for everything.

they look nasty tread wise i can't wait to get them mounted on the car for test fittment and such.

[jerome]

nice. i'll wait 'til then. :xfingers:

[dexter_5000]

here are two teaser pics one to show the tread design the other the new profile of the tires.

[dexter_5000]

took one of my wheels shots and made it a negitive image looks pretty nice i think. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/dexter_5000/Mods/wheel06negitive.jpg

[illist]

Good to see you here, Dexter. :hsd:

Nice Ride. :cool:

What's the story behind Maximus?

[bfurches]

looking good.

[dexter_5000]

my car is always under estimated and overlooked. last time i was a party i told them i drove an xa they laughed. i'm like you'd think so if you saw me drive.

[dexter_5000]

updated my first post with pics and such to save the step of clicking a link and provided a list of mods.

[oldmanatee]

Your car always looks nice dexter....I really like the tread pattern you are running!

[Zillon]

The wheels REALLY set it off nicely.

You should just ditch the hubcaps entirely. They have an impeccable ability to make any car look like an 80's ****box.

[mine]

and how do you manage to do that

[dexter_5000]

buy el cheapo alloy for winter.

[Zillon]

Or just rock the steelies and trimrings like I do.

Well, still waiting on my trimrings. :shrug:

[dexter_5000]

new pic after a fresh wash http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/dexter_5000/XA%20Pictures/washed023-24-07.jpg

[Zillon]

Looking good man, those wheels look better than I thought they would. :D

[revjolly]

very nice and clean.

[dexter_5000]

i used wheel wax on the wheels inside and out cleaned them entirely then waxed them. so it reduces brake dust build up and makes all the other crap come off just rinising. like when they did the job there the water was still beading on the wheels.

[dexter_5000]

who has one which one i need some info on clearance i'm still deciding and have to clear the blitz sus filter. would be best if i knew it would clear before i buy one. whenever that may be.

[Doulish]

I've got the TRD bar. You can just barely see it in my supertones writeup. If you can wait a few days I'll take pix, and a measurement from the stock airbox bracket to the bottom of the bar. That should give you some idea of the clearance.

[dexter_5000]

please move to performance some how i clicked the wrong one.

[dexter_5000]

please refer to this old thread for pics of what kind of clearance i'm talking about too.

[dexter_5000]

little update guys finally got a strut bar took a gamble on it clearing the blitz sus filter well the ds sports bar did so here it is with minimal clearance and not hit issues. before the fedex guy could leave i was already opening the box and getting the hood open to install it. took me i'm guessing about 15 mins at most to get it in.

[Zillon]

Looks good, I'll have to install mine this week before VIP.

[dexter_5000]

[dexter_5000]

Looks good, got any shots of the whole car?

[dexter_5000]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/dexter_5000/Mods/Spoiler/DSCF0490.jpg

[Oni-Haya]

You might want to change the angle of that spoiler ... you really don't want that much down force on the back!

[TougeIST]

Fits well the your front :tu:

[onelowxa]

looks good. keep doin' your thing

[Doulish]

You might want to change the angle of that spoiler ... you really don't want that much down force on the back!

If you can change the angle, you might want to half it. Are you going to try auto-x with that setup? Looks good; How's it drive?

[DriverXa]

Lookin good dex:tu:

[Pengu56]

I personally wouldn't put that on my car, but I support you in doing so!
Can't wait to see more pics :)

[IllNist]

it turned out good duder...i actualy like it.

[dexter_5000]

If you can change the angle, you might want to half it. Are you going to try auto-x with that setup? Looks good; How's it drive?

the angle is fine as is. it drives fine i've already had it on the higway.

for the purposes of auto-x it really doesn't give any advantage since high enough speeds are not generated.

[xA_Factor]

.... before the fedex guy could leave i was already opening the box....
^^^ Ha, ha....I can relate to that! :D

Car looks good.....you know, for a white one and all. :kekeke:

[dexter_5000]

maybe a parachute effect...

did you add any downforce to the front besides the canards?

[dexter_5000]

yeah i've got the beatrush underpanel which has taken the place of the front splitter right now. i plan on making another to help protect the bumper still though.

[dexter_5000]

couple of updates since i have posted much about the car.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/dexter_5000/Mods/harness/harness01.jpg

last everyone saw was my seat picked up a takata 4 point harness for the seat. very comfortable even on long drives no more back pains. yes i picked up the c-one hood the fittment was great. no issues. i will be installing the jic-magic coilovers tommorow most likely. that i picked up from kahuna thanks again for those. so the car is going lower finally.

[maxivisvires]

That hood is lookin good Dex! :tu:

[jdl1681]

Damn the C-One hood looks so great I really want especially once I finish the turbo install. I think your about the only one with one in the US. What was the ship time on the hood?

[DriverXa]

C-One hood :bd::drool:

[Dispatcher138]

i want oneeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[dexter_5000]

Damn the C-One hood looks so great I really want especially once I finish the turbo install. I think your about the only one with one in the US. What was the ship time on the hood?

about a month

[Xetronic]

Sweetness.... Nice to see the C-One CF Hood on a xateam car =D

[06flintxa]

wow that scoop is a lot bigger than i thought. Props for the rarity, but i think it looks out of place without a lip. But still... badass hood!!! :tu:

[dexter_5000]

lips are a little harder to come by for the 06 model. although i'm thinking of putting a front splitter back on just need to make a new one.

[06flintxa]

lips are a little harder to come by for the 06 model. although i'm thinking of putting a front splitter back on just need to make a new one.

unfortunately you are right about the lips. I wish they made some. I looked into it but i dont think i want to spend over $1000 for just a front lip. Not worth it to me. but still... nice hood :). I like it a lot. The splitter would look really good i think. I remember seeing it on your car a while ago. Looked sick dude

[dexter_5000]

front got a little lower today guys no pics till everything is in. just ran out of daylight to work in really.

little shot for the shop.

i've got more from the show i went to today but don't have any way to upload them right now. i'm sure most of you get the idea though.

[ISTyled]

Nice Drop!!!! im glad those JIC's went to a good home!!!! you know you can drop it more!!!:naughty: :naughty:

[dexter_5000]

Nice Drop!!!! im glad those JIC's went to a good home!!!! you know you can drop it more!!!:naughty: :naughty:

rear is all the way down now. front i can go a little more as is at full lock i rub. the front mud guards are getting chewed up in turns.

[TurboEgg]

Hey Eric, how well does the Sparco seat you have fit, in terms of clearance with the B-Pillar?

I ask, because I have a set of Sparco Torino 2's on the way and I know the tolerances will be very small for fitment on them. The overall width of the Torino seat is 22" and the stock seats are about 19.25".


Your car is looking real good man. I have nothing but jealousy for that hood as it would be perfect for my turbo set-up and it looks good to boot. :D

[dexter_5000]

most likely going to rub up against it just a little. like mine.

[TurboEgg]

Cool, as long as I can still get the seatbelt on and it doesn't impede operation I'm game.

[maxivisvires]

Lookin hot Eric! :cheers:


How's the ride?

[tamago]

harness bar time! ;)

[dexter_5000]

slacking on updates as a few of you know i did finally pick up a sparco corsa seat. fia approved full competition. its a fixed back side mount seat only which i found feels even better when driving.
