H8H8 RS 5's Build & Photography Thread

Wheels look awesome Nate!

I agree something needs a small nudge (touch wider or lower....some weird reason the car almost looks heavier now, if that makes sense) That said, I love having the look of the squared of tires. I want to see a side shot!

[LimaSierra]

Looks really good Nate! Even better than I pictured. You could certainly try some 5-7mm spacers, and play around. Rene could whip up some really nice ones for you. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks Ben.

Big thanks also for helping me out on my fitment questions before I ordered the wheels. Really appreciate your help and expertise!

Looks good! I am still a stickler for 21's but

Loving the split 5's looking good. Just get h&r coils and be done.

Thanks Guys!

^^ That purple hue
for some reason, the wheels look slightly smaller than your 20" inch rotors. or maybe its because of the drop?

[cellg8]

You know I like to show off dat Panther Agree, rotors do seem a "appear" bigger. Will add some spacers to get moar poke!

stunning!

Thanks John!

Thanks Woo!

Thanks! Love the Opti-Coat. Makes cleaning wheels much easier and faster. Just using the same Adams Car Shampoo to do the rims. Don't need any other wheel specific cleaning products. Most dust just washes off with the hose!

Highly recommend it. Optimum has authorized opti-coat installers on their website. You can also get some online and do it yourself.

Thanks very much Ben! I am totally in love with these rims. Love the finish, color and style! They really do complement my setup! I am so over those bright rotors! Shame in most pics you can't see the lovely brushed look to the rims. Also having them in matte is really nice. Most rims have some sort of sheen so it is a nice chance to have these in matte! Overall gives the car a moar sporty look imo...

Amazing!

Thanks!

Nice looking car Nate

Thanks Ham!

Yeah, I need to get my night shots better, maybe a small clue on the bizjet?

It looks big, but doesn't look like a Cessna or Learjet, hence why I thought Bombardier initially.

Will refinish the rotors in Matte Black and wrap the RS maybe next year this time and slap those babies back on!

Didn't you do clear bra on the entire car? How does a vinyl wrap affect that if at all?

[LimaSierra]

Very nice....

I did.. Not sure to be honest. Will have to find out when dat time comes. I have a feeling they will have to remove the Xpel...

Hi Nate! That's a sweet exhaust. I'm thinking of getting the same one (can't stomach the price points on the European mid pipe and back exhausts - would rather see the money go to other mods ).

Could I humbly request a video of you launching the car using Launch Control (Go Pro mounted in the external rear - besides the license plate) and one with to Go Pro inside the cabin while the car is cruising (keep constant speed and without downshifting, slowly accelerate - I want to see the level of drone).

It would be most helpful for me.

Hi Scott

Thanks and I agree with you on the $$ bit Put some of that towards my new rims and ecodes!

I can certainly get you some vids, but may not be till later next week though. I can tell you off the bat that there is mild drone at cruise speed and rpm's under 2K. I knew this going in and am fine with it. I like my music loud too I will get cabin vids also. If you are concerned about drone, I'd do the Track version.

Also TAG has a vid on their RS with Track Extreme. I will get mine up by next week, but that will give you a good idea of sound.



Will get those vids by next week.

--Nate

[PsYkHoTiK]

Thanks, Nate!

Oh, I'm expecting drone. Comes with the territory of louder systems (which I want). Haha! I don't mind it, more if a curiosity of how much there is.

Sounds like you and I are on the same page!

Will do my best to capture the mild drone on the GoPro. I know I was also wanting to hear the same type video, but never found one. For me, though the gamble payed off!

Got half of what ya requested Scott... Three vids so far of cruising at 70mph. Cruising starts on all vids at about 0:35. Last one is with a little music in the car to give you idea. Drone is there for sure, but it doesn't bother me and I expected it going in.

First one is in Sport, second on in Comfort, Third is Sport with Music.

Will upload a few more crusing vids at ~50mph to give you idea of stop and go driving. Will also try to do the launch by the end of the week. TAG's vid above shows it pretty good.

*Don't y'all all laugh at once seeing my bowl full of jelly shakin' Might have to turn up the vol a bit.
