    Got a Spearco air/water intercooler from a friend, thinking it will be a great addition to the FI build.

    No other updates at this time, went to Glamis and burnt my arm pretty bad on the exhaust so I have take off a few days lol.



    Also got this little quiet bilge pump for the A/W IC set up.

    Just mho from previous experience dealing with Jdm wheels
    My SSRs look exactly like that and when I bought them I thought they were 3 Pc as well.

    Keep me posted what you decide.
    Trying to find a local machine shop with a lathe big enough to handle it. I know there are tons of wheel companies that can do it, but it seems like they want a ton for something that should take a matter of minutes.

    Those wheels would really suit it well I think, and I would **** to not see them on it.
    Agreed, I am looking into different options right now... for the price of rebarreling I could get another set of awesome wheels with the correct width/offset already we will see.

    From my experience, a lot of them need to be recut and welded on.
    A lot of them are prewelded from the factory.
    This is not factory or at least I don't think... yes there are tons of manufacturers who will weld it, but they will not waste time to put on a seal on after right?

    I think most of the welds on multipiece are actually done post production. I have met a # of people who have it welded because they are afraid of the sealing after they put on new lips/refinish and feel they will keep them forever. I need to make a shirt that says "If you care, do not weld"

    Looking into calling some machine shops today, maybe have them lathe the welded area so I can still use them. we will see.
