mmmmmm.

[LSX-438]

So rotors have become 10mm bigger? hmm. Sounds like an 18" wheel option will be impossible now..

LC4 sounds interesting (4000rpm?) imagine how fast you can exit snow and mud now!

what's the deal with the S-tec R35 that costs nearly 3 times the price of a base model?

[greensa14]

Meh...not a fan of the styling mods to be honest. LED driving light are just gay as.

I believe S-Tec is a car prepared for a privateer racing series in Japan.

Also, looks like the price of the base car has jumped significantly.

I like the fact that the wheels are lighter but I am not sure that I like the look of them as much. I don't like the LEDs. They should have incorporated the LEDs into the headlight IMHO. Perhaps something like BMW's 'Angel eyes'?

[sh@un]

'Angel eyes' are even more played-out and tryhard than LEDs

[handbrake]

front looks to busy.

with the extra 'canard-like' crease and led lights.

yes but angel eyes, are for the most part, only seen on BMWs

every ricer with an ebay account or a local autobarn is putting led strips on their cars these days

those people who use them during the day bug the sh!t out of me......"alright relax mate, we get it, you optioned your A4 with xenons, you're cool"

im not too fussed with these minor changes, exterior tweaks look like changes for the sake of it, especially the wheel design which looks a bit too soft - the Rays on the 370 look way more aggressive with their concavity

the only option ive ever lusted after is the white seats out of the JDM models

oh, and ill grab 5 of those new hvac knobs from the dealer next year thanks

Sounds as if the chassis upgrade might reduce weight rather than increase it?

Brake upgrade was predictable.

A further evolution of the LMGT5 wheel would have been nice.

[domino_z]

the LM is a great looking wheel, they just look like 17s on the GTR

agreed...

though I don't have a problem with actual BMW angel eyes, sure it's pure wank factor but it was something different, can't hate on 'em personally just the people that buy kits & put them in

Audi's LED strip was just a limp-wristed response to get on the bandwagon & tossers that put them on their commo/falc/civic/lancer make me wince when I see them

I like the wheels, probably need to see it in real life. I was never much a fan of the general styling of the R35 until I got to see one in the flesh, same goes for the 370z

AFAIK The point of the LED strips are as "DRLs" (Daytime running lights) the idea being that it makes you more visible than using your headlights (Proven safety step) while not having the adverse effects (globe life, power sap, glare etc) therefore they would be something you would want to have on during the day

LEDs (Light emitting Diodes) are also very different to Xenons, which are a really bright, clear globe for your headlights, as for the Angel eyes only being on BMWs, type "Angel Eyes" into Ebay and see what you cannot get them for....

Have noticed though that Xenon driving lights etc are getting the ring around the outside of them a lot now as well

Stand to be corrected

[domino_z]

LEDs (Light emitting Diodes) are also very different to Xenons,

yep i know

but as per my post, it's only the Audi's with xenons (standard spec or optioned) that have the leds

if you have halogen headlights, Audi replace the leds with a few 5w halogen globes instead

btw i put angel eyes on my E46, not in a ricer ebay blue colour though, oem yellow
