Was able to get a bit more work done while also working on the caddy. I took some weights of stock components. Fully assembled doors, hatch, hinges etc. Will be a good base/reference once i get the lighter componets in, to see just how much I'm saving.

Also picked up used set of 5 lug rotors to use as mock up. Now all i need is front and rear 5 lug hubs ordered for when the new knuckles and linkage comes in.

SO. In the midst on working on multiple customer cars, I've managed to get a small amount of work done on my own.

First up. Had a few parts come in. Roll cage tubing showed up. (not all of it, obvisouly. Will need to make a separate order as i need it) Tire for mock up came in as well. 335/30.18 toyo r888. And Lastly, the part dos of my wide body setup. Rocket bunny flares. Get over it. Been there done that, played out yada yada. Not like this they haven't been done. Promise.

So actually on to getting some work done to the car. Found some spare time one afternoon and finished breaking down the wheel faces so that i could get them shipped out to get machined and the lips and barrels made to make a set of rear wheels for now. Once those are back ill mount the tire and we can get down to business to see how much hell I'm going to have to go through to make these suckers ft with the camber i want to run (minimal, purely for function here) while still making it sit with that perfect meaty, but still have clearance, stance

Speaking of fitting wheels, have full gktech adjustable links, drop knuckles etc. basically there full 240 suspension system on order. Some parts are on back order so hopefully it doesn't take too terribly long for it all to come in. Still need to order some 5 lug hubs for when the suspension gets here so i will have some thing to actually bolt the wheels to.

Lastly, tonight after getting home, i got to mock up one side of the rb flares. OH BOY am i excited. Its exactly the look I'm going for. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Def going to need some trimming, splicing, and widending (front def, was expecting this regardless) but man will the work be worth it. You can see now why i am confident the sti varis flares will tie in well. Adds to the gt3 style car look. Also again gives the great place for the passenger leg hair remover, i mean exhaust.

Also figured y'all would appreciate this. My wife grandfather gave us this awesome early 50s/late 40s stroller for me to restore for our current baby on the way thats is due soon. Pretty awesome little stroller. Our little boy is going to be pulling all the ladies at the track and meets/shows.

Yo if you're serious about the 22's I'm actually so excited to see it. This thread just gets better and better, those side skirts are going to look so good especially with that side exhaust!

Haha no im not serious about the 22s, will be super wide 18s

What has been seen cannot be unseen, I forgot how good 240's look with no rear bumper. If you are ever in the market for bash bars check out my friend Steven and I's company http://stayreadygarage.myshopify.com We sell a whole bunch of parts and have some quality wheels that are extremely cheap.

Ill be doing a tubular back end, thanks tho

Oval tubing cut in an angle for a stupid long looking exit, then just flare the top of it a bit so it looks even more brutal.

im not tryign to cut peoples legs off now haha But ill prolly do the dual 3.5" exit like pictured. Simple, gets the job done, no extreme fabrication necessary (have my hands full with that already) besides it will be titanium from the headers back and i dont know of any oval titanium to begin with. Not a huge fan of the oval look anyway.

Side exit exhaust FTW! Maybe a boom tube exit through the skirt for a little lower profile instead of 2 round tips.

nah, doin 2 tips, See above ^^
