Yeah, I try not to beat around the bush too much. Currently I am a decent intercooler setup, turbo, Evo brembos for the rear and Non ABS proportioning valve from having everything I can think of...Well to make it run decently at least. Next spring I am hoping for. I try to take my time and do it once.

Rears are done now. Fronts will hopefully be painted later this week. Yes that is my toilet and bathroom sink. Only place I could find where there was enough light to see them.

I am on there, don't post too much. Most of the meets and stuff are just too far for me to make it out, so I just post from time to time.


311, I wish I was going to make it out for the dyno day. I still have a ton of work to do to this thing before it is road worthy though. New carpet and dash, decide on a new turbo, buy said turbo, new intercooler and maft setup and then get it tuned. Probably next spring's dyno day. I might still make the drive over there. I think HIN is the same day and I want to check out some friends cars and see hot women all over the place too.

One of the fronts, just need the high temp satin clear to show up. Then I will be done with this.

Should be on either this weekend or next. I just want to make sure the fronts clear my wheels, which they should...But you know how that crap goes.

Damn that looks really good! I love the color combo you got. You should post a few pictures showing the whole side of the car, both the front and rear wheels together.

Well, the car is still stuck in the garage otherwise I would. Otherwise the best photos of it are on the first page. And my garage is pretty small so I can't stand back any further than the wheel pic to get some pictures.

Those rotors look beat up. Can you turn them (if its even needed) and I'm sure new rotors are $$$.

It's just surface rust.

Those brakes look really good! Should be an amazing car when you're done.

Thanks!

Although I will probably send them out to be powder coated eventually. The paint isn't curing like it should, a month later and a cycle in the oven and it is still really soft. Actually behind the spoke on my wheel is a pretty nice gash.

Intercooler came from ETS, they however forgot to anodize it. Should be back next week or the week after and then it is down to picking a turbo and putting the new engine in.

I am thinking a Borg Warner S258/S259 or 35HTA...Leaning towards the BW now.

Oh and my Nardi steering wheel came in as well.
