^ I've noticed. In the advertising pictures the spokes look curved like the RG2's, but in actuality they are quite flat. Are you getting real advans? They're expensive as hell. Good choice. :)

well i must admit my wheels, tail lights, coilovers, hatch, spoiler, gauge cluster, bumper vents, and headlight surrounds found a good home. OH and dont forget you have my trans too. lol. im pretty sure youve got my black dash too. jesus. but the car is lookin good man for real. and i cant wait for you to go 5 lug SO I CAN HAVE MY SE WHEELS BACK. haha. im gonna need them cuz im getting my wheels, valve cover, and strut bar brackets powder coated bronze. if i have the wheels by then i wont have my s*** on jackstands in my driveway.

oh and im workin a deal with that guy about the 180sx kouki tails with the oem white center. he does have the lower garnish, but he said he has to check inventory to see if they have the lock cylinder and key. including shipping from japan it will run you $400. so youll save $50 bucks. and theyre pre wired. PIMPIN

*edit: add my ecu, HCU, and catalytic converter to the list of my s*** you got. damn. paint your s*** juniper metallic and itd be a clone of my old hatch.

And you'd s*** yourself if you saw what black valve cover with the ebmossing brushed looks like. Do it. Your car's coming together great btw.

im gonna clean up the fan but im not sure about wiring the e fans. when the fan shroud gets bolted up you wont be able to see the s*** anyways so we'll see how i feel when its all said and done.
