    Will be a little while until they're mounted on the car. Still have to order wobble nuts and then get my tires swapped over.

        I'll be able to use Wobble Nuts since the PCD variation is so slight, I almost can't tell that they aren't 5x108 it's so close. And the centerbore is the same.

                    Started working on the R bumper today, fixing a small crack, filling the wiper holes, and license plate holes.

                    • Worked on the bumper for a bit last night at a friends shop. Got the patch pieces in place and epoxied in with the plastic bunper repair epoxy.







                      Just gotta sand it down and use a bit of filler to make it all level and smooth. I have to sand down the license plate holes too because I did the same treatment to those.

                      • More stuff came in yesterday while I was at work.



                        12x1.5 thread pitch wobble nuts. Now I only have to find/decide what BBS center caps to get and get my tires swapped over. This thing is coming along and will hopefully be super dialed in for SoWo!

                            Some people like seeing nuts...

                            Test fit won't happen until later this week if at all this week, I have to move some spacers around and it's not super easy, I have a bunch of stuff to work on, so test fitting wheels that I've already test fit isn't at the top of my list.

                            Patched in the holes in the bumper with bondo-glass tonight. Gonna take some sanding to get it even but it'll be good once it's done.







                            Also picked up some "bent" PIC coilovers from my friends Evo VII, he went off track last summer at an HPDE and the shock shafts got bent, hopefully going to be able to use the camber plates and going to try to make the rear shocks fit my car since they're coil over shock instead of separate shock and spring.









                            I'm hoping to have the bumper done being prepped and filled by mid week so it can sit for a few days and make sure everything is 100% cured, then paint next weekend or early next week if I can coordinate the time with my friend to make a paint booth from my garage and spray the paint.

                                I knew the chassis was similar, are they a direct bolt on?

                                I'm gonna mess with measurements and see how close some of these parts are and if I would potentially be able to swap parts over and utilize some of the PIC coils to allow me to go lower.
