    Meet the Stormtrooper - revlimiter Shop NC


    A new car joined the revlimiter herd yesterday. I'm calling it "The Stormtrooper." It's a 2006 GT.


    So tall! Many Alteza lights. Wow.


    17s? I still think 15s are big.


    Xenon headlights!


    Basketball interior!


    And a gauge cluster.


    Plans for The Stormtrooper:
    1. NC gauges!!! It’s been a long time coming. I just didn’t feel right making and selling them without owning a car. I literally bought this car just to make gauges.
    2. Doing a small build. I don’t have crazy plans for Sharka-scale modifications or anything, but I wanna do a few things. The car is just crazy tall. It needs a suspension. And those 17s… and those clear tail lights. I'm looking forward to cleaning it up a little.
    3. Other goodies. NC1 badges for sure. Probably a few other things.


    I'll put up a real build thread when I have some actual build. And I'll have NC gauge pix as soon as they exist. I've gotta get a plate and insurance on the car first.

    Big things! Stay tuned.

    If you build a "KG"-style cluster for the NC before one for the NA-NBs I'm gonna cry "Foul"! (Basketball reference there)

    Nice ride!

    Congrats Adam! Looks great! Best colour combo available on NCs IMO. If you want it a bit lower, look into Mazdaspeed/Progress lowering springs, they are decent. RX8 sway bars make heaps of difference in handling and they are cheap. With mild lowering and 20mm spacers it has a perfect OEM+ look. Plus they are great dailies.

    BTW please put a red tint film over those taillights...

    That's one of my favorite color combos! I was looking at a pearl white Z with the saddle brown interior and almost jumped on it. Congrats on the NC. The modding disease will take over soon.
