Are you planning on drifting on those? Or are you gonna have a set of drift spares...

Also, if you look on my blog, I have a page titled "To Do" and it's a checklist of my plans/whats left to do on both cars. Updated regularly. Its not for anyone but myself to keep of track whats going on really, but for those who are curious, you can check it out.

TEDDY! those wheels make me happy... :)

Things have been (and will be) very slow for this car, mainly because I have 1000x things that need to be done before this..

I did however pick up some stuff from DMAX a few days ago... fenders, trunk and roof wing.

So, a little update. It looks more like a car now. I tested the wheels and aero to get an idea of what was going on. It looks like I can fit the fronts no problem with a 225, and the rears with either a 245 or a 235, I'm not 100% sure yet. That's a 245 on the rear right now, but with crazy camber and a few inches of fender gap, so hopefully I can get it close to -1 with the 245...

And the motor.

I spoke with Ian Fournier yesterday at Irwindale and was pretty excited that there really wasn't much to do for the RB25 swap. Driveshaft, wiring, and power steering pump.

Shiiiiiiit.

So I need to replace my tranny and motor mounts while I'm at this stage with some solid mounts, get a driveshaft made, have intercooler piping and exhaust made, and have the wiring done and bam! Good to go. Kinda.

I also still need a diff, and after speaking with Kaaz yesterday looks like I might go that route.

That is all for now.
