Advan TCIII
Web Site Categories:
News - Parts
Ever since I saw these wheels at Tokyo Auto Salon, I've been thinking how great they would be for the RE-Xtreme Version III FD.
Released two days ago in sizes available for the FD3s (at a stretch)
18x9 +25
18x10 +35
Perfect for a "stanced" offset or a 20mm widebody
There's also an 18x 9.5 +45 but these are not the desired fitment.
For a super widebody. 18x10.5 +25 or 18x11 +15

Champ by Name...

Feature - Owners
Champ by nature.! Champ lives in Thailand and runs a shop, Let's look at what he get's up to in his free time.
There's some nice detail work in the car that's used as a demonstration of his skills. The front fenders are carbon wrapped for an interesting talking point.
Wheels are Rays RE-30 which protect a big brake upgrade. Stance is perfect for the kit.
I think the word is flush. Rear spacers have been added to get things in line with the RE-Amemiya AD GT Kit.
I think Ama-san got more than a bit of Champ's money in this build.
The result is a Touge Monster replica of show spec finish.
Engine bay is stunning. The welds on the IC piping are pretty cool. The plenum chrome is pretty BUFF!
Alternator and other items are chrome plated and pulleys and other small items highlight the work.
In side has some carbon door cards and dash cover along with maybe more than you need.
But it all works. The zoom mirror is a nice touch.
It's always interesting to see tuning done in different ways.

If you are in Thailand, drop in to www.masterpieceservice.com There are regular meets in Bangkok and popularity of the FD is gaining. Champ says that with cars being expensive in Thailand, owners need great passion. I think we can see his through this machine.
