GT-R Producing 800 Wheel Horsepower

When our customer sent us these pictures of their GT-R, the apple red of the GT-R was appealing but that’s not what really caught our attention. It was the mod list filled with brands we know are offer the ultimate performance parts, that really made our jaw drop. The first name we saw was Wald. Wald International is know for taking the lines of a car and enhancing them with bold, aggressive carbon pieces. Case in point, the gnarly strakes on this wald diffuser. It makes it belligerent, but not so, that it destroys the desirable look of the GT-R.

APR is the next product we noticed. APR is known for their aero parts, but most of all, their wings. They provide a futuristic look, while still giving you some of the best aerodynamic advantages in the industry. He chose the APR Performance Adjustable GTC-500 Wing. When it comes to racing, every second counts. By reducing lift and increasing downforce, you can gain extra traction during high speed cornering. The other product he got to compliment his wing when it comes to cornering. The Eibach Pro-Kit is the perfect answer for most frequently-driven street cars. Eibach’s legendary springs dramatically improve both the GT-R’s performance and appearance, by making the car lower there for handling better.

The last two are two companies that we have worked with a lot in the past. You can see the name Meisterschaft and HRE riddle all throughout our Project Car Blogs, as well as on a lot of our Vivid Racing Videos. Meisterschaft makes all their exhaust with integrity. You can hear that integrity with every install. The valvetronic option allows you to open it up on the track, while not going deaf on your day-to-day drive. HRE is one of the most popular and well-known names in the game. They offer such versatility and quality with their products, that really any client can find something they like. This client chose the HRE P41′s , check out a video of these wheels here.

After that kind of all-star lineup this thing is pumpin’ out 800 wheel horsepower. We want to know if you would change the mod list or add anything? Tell us in the comment section below or on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

Dark Horse ST Debuts Volk G25"s

When we started our Project Focus ST car, we set out to make something that no one else had. Through a series of body and performance upgrades, we think that we were able to accomplish a look for the Focus ST that was unlike any other. Since we’ve bought the ST we’ve been in contact with a lot of ST customers who are looking to build their own Project ST. This is a customer who we helped get that ultra unique edge on his ST project.

Our sales guy James (james@vividracing.com ext. 246) helped this guy get Volk G25′s re-drilled so they would fit his car. To our knowledge it is the first and only Focus ST to have this setup. Let us know if we’re wrong! But he didn’t stop with the wheels, he decided to give his Focus ST even more aggressive with a Body Styling Kit from Street Scene. You can’t get a sexy custom set of wheels without upgrading your suspension too. He chose the Eibach Sportline lowering Springs to get the job done. Eibach Sportline springs are made specifically for enthusiast that are looking for the maximum street performance with the lowest possible drop, and still have exceptional ride quality. To enhance his performance he went with the new Cobb Accessport V3 system and Cobb motor mount. Then, for a the cherry on top, a Cobb Shift Knob. Even though these upgrades have made a wold of difference for not only the appearance but the performance of his car, he sees a Milltek Exhaust and KW Coilover’s in his near future.

We will keep you update on this custom ST. But in the meantime, let us know what you think of the upgrades he did. Tell us in the comment section below or on Facebook, Instgram, or Twitter.

It’s a great coincidence that not only is he an enthusiast but a professional photographer as well! Here’s your car porn for the day…You’re Welcome!
