thanks man! h2oi was a blur hahaha i dont remember much of the cars
also here is a small update! wheels are done being powdercoated down at spintech! now they just have to make it back up here for the final pieces of the centercaps and hexes to be mounted! so excited. also the exhaust made by my buddy devin (aka hooodrich)came out amazing! full 3.25 all the way back straight piped, custom pie cut and fit stainless oval piping. if anyone is in the upstate new york area book some work with him. you wont be disappointed! i can put you in contact with him for some work. i will try and get under the car soon for some more detail shots, and a few sound clips are on my instagram.
anyways enough of my boring banter, on to a couple wheel pics!
i cant wait until winter so i can try and get everything on the car, sitting right, and some new suspension to dial it all in! 2016 its going to be looking sort of how i want it!

Its undergone a few more changes in the last week or 2! Will have a picture update tomorrow of the new temporary wheels. Also, futuras are finally prepped and shipped down to spintech for the full refinish. Will have lots of pics to update with the custom caps once they are done!Last edited by GrandpaStance; 08-26-2015, 12:14 AM.

ok so another update since ive been working a million hours and dont get to post much! finally got the car buffed, gonna go at it again soon though for a full 3 stage buff. also finally got the rocket dancer mounted, and got the nardi in! really pissed me off though because the quick release doesnt really have much space for wiring up the horn the way the tabs are positioned on the horn button. really bothers me not having a horn so i will try and figure out a way at some point!
also, my blitz downpipe i had ordered finally came in, going to possibly fit it tomorrow, and have a full stainless custom exhaust made from the dp back. cant wait to finally hear the open sound of the rb26, its way too quiet with a stock exhaust. also, new suspension is being ordered tomorrow so stay tuned for that! i'll take some pictures of the mockup and under the car tomorrow as well. heres some recent pics just to update everyone! and dont mind my poke at mr trump lmao
covered in buffing compound for the little test buff before the full 3 stage we're gonna do soon
buddy sam putting in some late night work getting ready for a local show
and a few shots from the show that turned up!
more updates soon!!!

413, 500,
figured it was time to update the thread since i completely forgot! everything went pretty well at the border except for one douchebag customs officer who lead me on a bit of a goose chase, but the car is now legal, titled, and on the road! heres a few pics of my first week with her, and a few pics of the projects i started so far (temporary wheels and tires til my futuras are done, rocket dancer test fit, quick release)
took her up to eurokracy in montreal for her maiden legal voyage and car show, had a great time going up there with my buddy mike and his crazy gti
here are some pictures right after i got the rays on, really liking how it sits! upon taking the wheels off though, i found that it only has coilovers on the fronts, not in the rear...so new suspension of some kind will be on the way soon to accommodate the futuras once they are done!
and last but not least, my 4th of july contribution! MERICA
more pictures and projects coming very soon! will try to update more now that i made a photobucket to upload my pictures to hahaha. and please pardon how dirty my car is in most of the pics, i have been driving the piss out of her lol. about 1500 miles in the last 2 weeks! and a very fun 2 weeks at that!
