Last week I cleaned up the v2 and piping to go along with my engine setup. I black wrinkled the front housing and piping. Also just ordered all the fuel side of the setup and the brackets and nick nacks will be ordered next week.

Here is my wheel on the test fit. I've purchased a full set since then, but haven't had a chance to mount them yet, since the car has been in the shop for engine for about half a year now.

What size and offset. I run a 1/4" spacer up front and a 1.5" spacer in the rear. One day I will buy a set to drift/road race on and rock the rpf1's as dd's

17x10 with 18mm offset. I had to go with that size for the tire I'm using (275 NT01), and to clear Brembo brakes. No spacers front or rear, I don't like to use those. Front fenders had to be heavily massaged to clear the front wheels.

Sweet. Well I tried my hand in plastidip and didn't like it. So I just ordered 5'x10' sheet of 3d carbon vinyl to wrap the hood, roof, and trunk. The plan so far is I'm gonna wrap the whole car in 3d carbon vinyl with cobra front bumper and a rear with no embossed letters.

For best sidewall action, you really want a wheel just a bit wider than the contact patch. That way you get the most tire on the ground, and sidewalls don't deflect as much, so you don't have to overinflate the tires in order to get the responsive steering. Additionally, race compound tires are usually a bit wider than street version in the same size. Don't ask me why, that's just what I've been noticing.

Few things

When I first got my shortblock It was offered to me as a long block with SVO intake and heads. I declined the LB option only because of the lack of availability in SVO heads and Intake should anything happen. Yea they flow better for what they are in the NPI world, and are bad ass to say you have a set (id keep them on a shelf) But be careful you dont want to have something happen with them.

Next, F`n awesome on the purple, I love that color.

Lastly..... please dont put wood to hold the cam chain in place ..... :shakesheadwtfitsamodmotornotapushrodshowrespect:

Well still no parts for the supercharger but I did get a date when it will be here. So my buddy calls me up and tells me he's got some seats so I go by pick one up to try out to see if I like. So here it is.

I like them a lot but they flex way to much? The brackets that are on this seat I just don't like I will most likely be giving them back.
