Went to see Cam @ Lightspeed about a month ago and I must say... Wow he is a really great guy and a really great tuner. I will keep this short as I am still tired as hell, but I definitely recommend him to anyone in the Alberta area!

The fitment wasnt 100% perfect which upsets me. I could not get both sides on perfectly flush...

Here are the 2 sides for comparison

Looks good man, brake upgrades? Could probably find some brembo calipers and I got the rest of the stock X setup.

the lip fitment issue could it be because it's meant for a X which is slightly wider? Just guessing as I'm not sure it would affect that area but maybe?

AaronK

To put X Brembo Brakes on an RA would be crazy expensive. I'd be better off just buying a stoptech system. I think I am just going to get EBC/Hawk pads and some dimpled/slotted rotors and be good with that for now.

Naw man, the lip was custom made by JDP to fit an RA. The fitment is barely off and I bet if I were to take it back off I could get it to fit properly.

Not that expensive, used calipers might not be that much, something to do maybe with the turbo swap, the rotors and pads will have to sit I guess lol, can't wait to see where your ralliart goes, not a fan of those tails on the X but on the ralliart just seems better suited.:+1:

sounds good, i am happy to see i am not the only cat running around with soot on their bumper. also a good easy clean for the soot is rim cleaner :) doesnt fade the paint and comes off like water

AaronK
08-19-2011, 09:05 PM
It comes off really easy by just using a soapy microfiber sponge too :P

First time I washed it off I used the stupid brush at a car wash and now there are a lot of small scratches around the sooty area.... :(

I wish it was doing this to his car... then maybe he wouldn't steal the "prettiest ralliart" awards from me...
