Wayne Presley/VeryCoolParts Build Thread H6 power

[Mechie3]

I have 18x9.5+48's. I'm very interested in seeing how they fit.

[Jeff Kleiner]

I'll try to have fun

I've never known you to have to TRY too hard; fun pretty much just follows you around

I have no idea what you are talking about...

What rebate?

Their site says you get a rebate form when the product arrives. I wasn't sure if that was exclusive to ordering it from the factory or if it comes in the box regardless of who I buy them from. I have the dark blue WRX injectors in my donor so I'd get $200 if I send them my old ones.

The rebate is directly from DW and the injectors bought from me would be included. There are only certain injectors that are part of the rebate offer so check to be sure yours are part of the program. Looks like they are.

Sweet. Can you PM me a price on those? I promise no more thread hijacking

[Wayne Presley]

PM sent, I'm doing an order later today so I can include yours if you reply soon

[bstuke]

They are 17x8 and 18x9.5 with 45mm offsets. We'll see how they fit next week.

Close enough to 40?

Wayne, REALLY looking forward to following your build. I love those wheels!

Erik's Raijin wheels showed up first and I thought, "I bought the wrong wheels!". Then mine showed up 2 days later and saw that the Kojins looked just as good.

And as a side note if you ever get to drive a Mercedes SLS at the race track, you should do it. Amazing car and what a sound it makes with the V8 at 7500 rpm down the front straight!

if you ever get to drive a Mercedes SLS at the race track

Waiting patiently for the video...

The Raijin's are very FR500ish. They both look great!

[Wayne Presley]

Waiting patiently for the video...

I would have loved to have grabbed my GoPro but that was all the way down at the trailer and I wasn't going to risk him changing his mind to let me drive it while I walked down to get the camera. The car is so cool that the factory NAV system will lap time for you and has quite a few tracks start/finish lines already preprogrammed. It was running 155mph when I got on the brakes in turn 1.

There was a guy at the one lap of america race this year with one and we were all amazed at the sound as well. Sounded like a jet going by. Absolutely no normal engine noise. It was the weirdest thing.

Anyone used these before???

Used to have those pins on my integra. Going to implement those into my 818 but in black.

Hi Wayne,

It was very nice to meet you at the open house.

You mentioned that the Cusco LSD was much cleaner than some of the other LSDs which left metal flakes in the transmission fluid. What are the tradeoffs between the Quaife (Torsen style) and the Cusco (Clutches). How long does the Cusco clutches last between rebuilds? The Quaife has lifetime guarantee and the Cusco needs periodic clutch rebuilds (how often?). I am still trying to figure out which LSD will be best for my 818SR build. I want to understand the trade-offs to make as informed a choice as I can.

Wayne, Metalmaker, RM1SepEx and others,

What do you recommend and why? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Cheers!

[RM1SepEx]

There is a detailed thread somewhere

all out racing, clutch type, adjustable but req maint
street/autocross use torsen (Quaife, OBX , OBX must be rebuilt before use, Erik did a nice piece on that) no maint works well for all around use

IMNSHO haha

I'm using a quaife for my street/autocross machine, possible track day beastie

[Wayne Presley]

The Quaife with the lifetime warranty is hard to beat. Very smooth, a little less money than the Cusco. I can get either for you.

Not my favorite look but they work well most of the time. I had one on a Lotus 211 that would occasionally not want to release.

[RM1SepEx]

I don't like the look of the old school hood pins on a street car... looking for alternatives

[longislandwrx]

The aerocatch are nice. get the top mount. The bottom mount are smaller but real hard to get a good look so people end up using trim rings.

You have to keep them clean, as gunk can get in the spring/latch mechanism.

are cool too. They hold 150lbs each.

You just push on the button and it unlatches?
That's kinda nice, I like the idea.

[MurrayT]

Thanks for the Quik-Latch tip.
Now planning on using them on my 818R.

[Erik W. Treves]

There are 2 of them included in the kit

[Frank818]

What happens when you lock up the doors and park the car?
Do the latches lock up as well or anyone could open the hood?

[Mechie3]

I think those latches are just simple push buttons, not lockable. You'd need something like locking aerocatch pins.

Ok, good to know. tnx

Thank You Wayne.

Wayne -- I'd like one. I sent you a PM earlier today. Need to know how many $$, and best way to proceed.

I'll look it up tomorrow, I was driving to get my 818 today.

[07FIREBLADE]

Can you at least confirm what is in the disassembly manual is final. Since you cant/wont reveal any info from the beta build manual

[Silvertop]

I'll look it up tomorrow, I was driving to get my 818 today.

Well, I guess you get a free pass for that!

[Wayne Presley]

Well my 818 is home, still in the trailer as I needed to work on the motor. JE pistons, ported heads, King bearings, SpecClutch, etc....

[metalmaker12]

Nice Wayne

[Frank818]

Looks like no more free pass, Wayne...
