HSPN / IWSTI Race Car (OMG not again! See post 1109) - Page 23

Here's another pic of the GT II (similar) mounted on an evo. It will look better on my car, especially with the black posts, but this gives you an idea.

Post whoring in my own thread is pretty fun...

Anyway, here is a pic of the fender and the roof vent:

Your car is so awesome

CicioSTi · 01-22-2006, 05:42 AM

I see what you mean about the wing, there is no help for it

It will look awesome on the track though, so thats what counts.

The fender vent, all I can say is "I WANT ONE" That is going to look/function awesome from the looks of it.

You continue to lead by innovation!

***Nachos Libres*** · 01-22-2006, 12:56 PM

So are you going to post pics of the A/C removal process? Because I would really like to see that.

**Ben** · 01-22-2006, 03:11 PM

I will be doing an HSPN how-to video on removing the AC as well as just about everything else I am installing on the car from now on.

P.S. I'm back from Japan! Time to sleep...

I hope you had an awesome trip. I knew it was only a matter of weeks before the AC came out...I sooo called that! And I think the wing is going to look at home on your car considering it's a "race car" and everything

I'll let you sleep tonight and wait until tomorrow to start bugging you again.

**Ben** · 01-22-2006, 05:30 PM

I am actually going to sleep now...I had a few things I had to do first.

I'll talk to you tomorrow though, I'm sure.

By the way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for calling to let me know that IWSTI was down last week. Without that phone call who knows how long the server would have been down. I think people were without their IWSTI fix for almost 17 hours; any longer would have been a complete disaster.

Thanks again!

No problem Ben. I was having withdrawals and had to call and see what was going on. I actually forgot you were in Japan but Nicky was very nice to talk to. Enjoy your beauty sleep.

Yah seriously, I kept clicking but nothing was loading, I started to panic at work! Then home, but it was up again and everything was calm!!!

Welcome back! Always enjoy your how-to videos! Those suckers are worth their weight in gold!

You were panicking, sebastian kept calling me to make sure it wasn't just him that was down. It took me a few minutes to calm him down. Now that he knows Alex is the IWSTI savior he should thank him.

I forgot one thing on that new list of goodies I posted earlier. It's nothing major, but it's a pretty cool addition for only THREE pounds:

A JDM Carbon Fiber Fire Extinguisher!

I couldn't bring it back with me on the plane because I was told that it could explode. So I did some research on shipping costs and it appeared that it would cost the same ammount to ship 6 of them as it would to ship 1. So, being the kind of guy that I am, I bought 6 and they should be here in a few weeks.

Anyway, if anyone else wants a JDM Carbon Fiber Fire Extinguisher just let me know. The price should be something like $79. It's a small fire extinguisher that could fit in your glove box (I'm just mounting mine to the chassis by the hand brake, since I don't have a center console) and is good for 30 seconds of spray. I think if you need more than 30 seconds of spray you should be more worried about getting the **** away from your car than putting out the fire anyway

.

P.S. I think it's really a re-packaged EDM (european) fire extinguisher from a company in the U.K., but whatever.

I bought it in Japan with a Japanese name on it so that's JDM enough for me.

CicioSTi · 01-23-2006, 11:42 AM

I will take one!

You are too good to us!

**Ben** · 01-23-2006, 11:44 AM

It appears that Top Secret in Japan is re-branding these fire extinguishers too. I was looking for a picture of one and found this:

The one's I'm bringing in don't have any stickers or branding on them, so you could always throw an IWSTI sticker on one if you wanted!

By the way, each extinguisher comes with the mount if you wanted to install it on your floor or somewhere else. It would require drilling two holes, so if you don't want to mount it you can just unclip it from the mount and throw it in your glove box.

If there is actually a market for these here (the 5 extra extinguishers sell quickly) I'll have my friends over at www.SoJDM.com import 25 of them or something. We'll see how it goes
