Sorry, I didnt get any pics of the exterior.
Here are a couple close up pics that I got of the owners FD.. it was raining pretty good, so I was in a hurry, so Im sorry for the quality of the pics.
can you take some night pics with the headlights on.

thanx, that would be really great. i been waiting to see how the light output is on one of these headlights. do you happen to have the hid version because from what i heard, r-magic doesnt make hid version anymore. but i might be wrong.

daamn nice pics! by the way, what is that thing hanging down in between the exhaust system in the back? where the exhaust has like.. a good number of welds to go around it.
that is a air jack(think thats what there called). There is 3 of them on the car.

What happens to the rod ends/link holding that steering column up when you crash bad?
Looks like they are they to impail the driver in the event of a crash. Seems kind of a stupid way to mount the steering column but maybe they wanted it Kamikaze style.

It's like the ritualistic suicide thing. If you crash this car then the links break off and puncture each lung...there is no room for failures in hardcore racing
How do you like the headlights, okinawa? I, like many, am kind of torn between the sleeks or a sleepy eye, but these are a bit intriguing.
Thanks for putting up all the pics! Very nice!
