I like those wheels on the front in the last picture. Just find a set for the rear and you'll be set.

prtrillaboss -Thanks! its getting there!

@Ca_Silvia - Right now i have a Stock SR Flywheel and exedy clutch for SR i got from a friend. They will do for now since i just need to get this thing to my new house.

@r34 gtr and Gabby - They were rewinds but i sold them all to a guy with an 86. They looked decent on from but back..not so hot. lol (See below)



I ordered a CS 255lph Pump today. One more thing off the list
