Very nice you can't go wrong with Techno Violet.

Looks good! I'm in Northern Virginia as well. Funny because I drive a '95 hellrot m3. I bought it down in Raleigh, NC though.

Hope to see you around sometime, and thank you

I see you have met Kitty too=) Your build is definitely headed in the right direction=D

Yes, I have! Thank you! I have a couple questions for you.. check your pm!

Haven't updated here in a while. About two weeks ago I received my Bear Motorsports short shifter. Installed that and it took way longer than it should have.



Also, just received two out of my four wheels in the mail yesterday. USPS said the package was "too heavy" to deliver to my front door... Anyway had to wait another day to get them. Here they are!





Will get better pictures once I have time to. Super stoked on getting these rebuilt. Ordered lips about 2 weeks ago from Paul at Ewheelworks. Also just received a few parts in the mail. Rear adjustable control arms and poly trans mounts. Will post once installed.

Any opinions on wheel color?

I'm in North VA too!

I'd suggest paint matching the amber in your taillights for a wheel face color...or just white all the things.

Can't wait to see the wheels done! Paul is an awesome guy to deal with, just got new lips and barrels from him for my Mitos

Yes I am doing all euro lights so I think I'm going to go with silver faces!

Yes, he's awesome and I'm also exciting to get these wheels fitted on the car!



UPDATE



Rear lips came in. They are 3 inches and I also got a couple decent pictures. Anyway here they are























Not the best, but the car will look 100 times better once I get the wheels on.



Any suggestions on tires? Going to need a decent stretch as you can see. I was thinking 205/40 on a 9 up front and 215/35 on a 9.5 rear. Found the rear tires by Hankook but not the 205/40.. Any help would be appreciated!

I have 205/40's on my 9.5's and 215/40's on my 10's. The tires are Hankook HR2

Yeah, I'd like to run as small of a tire as possible in the rear so I was thinking of the 35 series. Don't want to pull my fenders too much. I'd like to run a 35 series up front, but no one makes a 205/35/17

Great color. I wanna see the Futuras on ASAP

I want them on as well! Need to repaint the faces and centers then we will be good to go. I'm sad I'm missing SOWO this year.

This is epic. Can't wait for the wheels to go on!

Got some pictures last Friday of the car while my friend drove and my phone turned them into shitty quality, just waiting to order my front lips for my Futura's and I also have to repolish the bolts which is going to be a PITA. Wheels should be on anytime now!













My first time really taking rolling shots and I know some are blurry so bare with me.

[Stancyeze]

Teaser, will post more pictures later tonight when I'm off work!
