Are the raijins fully painted? Or does the face have a machined clear coated look? A look through several sites wasn't specific. What tire sizes might you recommend? I had been leaning towards 17" wheels, but I pause every time I imagine the Raijins on my 818. I seem to like wheels that are only available in 18s.

[Wayne Presley]

The HyperSilver Raijins are coated in a bright silver on the face and fade to a dark silver around the spokes and on to the rim. With the 18" F&R I'd go with the 225/40 Fr and 255/35 rear tires.

Will do! Also, I really like the black Raijins... I assume they're 5x100 with 40-45mm offsets appropriate for the 818? I'm in no rush for wheels, since I have a complete set from my donor to roll around the chassis around on. However, I will be buying new wheels/tires when I'm near completion (early 2014?)

Where is the intercooler or trailing arms....

[Wayne Presley]

Where is the intercooler or trailing arms....

I'm still working on pricing for those.

[Goldwing]

Exploring all the options (Kojin), which offset are you selling for the front? I want to assume the 40, but noticed 45 was also available. Some 818 testing pics looked like the front wheels were too recessed inside the wheel well. Will the wrx trailing arms work with 17 x 9 rear, or would I need your modified ones? Thanks, both these wheels were on my short list. You have good taste Wayne.

[Goldwing]

If you have had a chance to gather an opinion, does your shifter change the shift feel in your opinion?

I'm running 45 mm offset on front and rear wheels. I can always push them out 5mm with a spacer. The lip between the nose and fender is very close to the tire and making the wheels stick out more makes it even tighter.

The shifter definitely changes the feel.

[07FIREBLADE]

Could you describe the change in feel. Is it more honda s2k type where it is precise and easy or do you still have to muscle it a bit like the wrx.

[wleehendrick]

I ordered Wayne's shifter kit "feel un-felt"... the k-tuned shifters have gotten very good reviews for smoothness and precision, and appear extremely well engineered and built, so jumped on it. I actually prefer a stiffer shifter/trannie, like on my Z (as long as it's precise), rather than a super light feel like Honda, Audi... A super easy shifter is nice for daily driving, but I generally prefer a stick that requires a bit of muscle for spirited driving.

I'm optimistic that the feel is greatly improved over the plastic Matrix/Corolla? unit that comes in the 818 kit. However, disregarding performance, the shifter is worth the money IMHO cause it's just so friggin sexy! I will not put a boot over mine, it will be the centerpiece of my cockpit, like on a Spyker.

Yours will be showing up Tuesday.

[Wayne Presley]

And if anyone needs any of the Enkei wheels, not just for the 818, I'll get you the same percentage off on those!

[longislandwrx]

Any pinch points on the shifter? Bootless would be cool but not at the expense of blood blisters.

[Turboguy]

What, exactly, are you planning on dangling in the mechanism while your right hand is grabbing the knob and shifting?

[apexanimal]

That sounds like all kind of awkward...

[C.Plavan]

I have never laughed so hard in my life.

Now that's funny!

[C.Plavan]

Sorry about the newb question. But do Enkei's require the use of "Tuner" lug nuts? Will the 17X9 wheels clear the stock trailing arm? Thanks.

[Wayne Presley]

You can use standard lug nuts. The 17x9" Kojins will need spacers to clear the stock trailing arms.

[wleehendrick]

Yours will be showing up Tuesday.

I've been out of town, but it was waiting for me when I got home! I'll have to hook up the cables and see how she feels. Thanks Wayne.

P.S. I won't put a boot over it, but maybe a sticker?

So the 17 x 9 " will not clear as is. Are they available in another backspace that would clear without additional spacers?

[Goldwing]

I am looking into kojins also, but the 17x9 size only comes in 45 offset. 17x8 in 40 or 45. So it looks like spacers or Wayne's custom trailing arms when they're available.

The 17x9 wheels will need spacers or in an offset not readily available.

The 17x8 in +40 will fit and support a 245/40-17 tire

[C.Plavan]

What size spacer would be needed on the 17x9? Or what offset would the 17x9 have to be to fit without spacers?

[Wayne Presley]

+35's might fit without spacers. The 18x9 with +40 on the 818R needed 5mm spacers.

[Xusia]

I assume that's using your trailing arms with the added clearance?

[C.Plavan]

The 818R had stock arms I believe.

Thanks for the info Wayne. I should not really be that scared of the wheels, I have the 3" ARP bullnose studs on the hubs.

Stock trailing arms on the 818R

[longislandwrx]

LOL . I meant if more if you were doing a fast shift and accidentally grabbed low on the lever and hard shifted could a finger get pinched in the mechanism.

You would have to really try to pinch something.

That's good to know thanks.

[Wayne Presley]

About a week left...

[JeromeS13]

I'm still working on pricing for those.

Any update on pricing for the AWIC and trailing arms/lateral links?

Thanks!

[Wayne Presley]

The trailing arms for the wide wheel/tire packages is $235. The AWIC is still being finalized so pricing is not available yet.

[michael everson]

Do you have pics of the wide trailing arms?
Mike

[Xusia]

When can I order a set of the trailing arms?

[Wayne Presley]

The trailing arms are available now.

[JeromeS13]

Do you have a lateral links package, as well?
