Rays Wheels came threw. Got down there today and they had a stack waiting for me. They are used (off last years apex car) no complaints from me as you cant get anything better then inches of deep polished lips. They're the GT-F line and are 18x9 and 18x10 +1 offset. We are thinking about having the centers powdercoated to match. We will see how they look once the car is out of paint. That brings up another topic, Tribal red candy Flames? Paint sponsor is coming up with ideas.
Yeah, I have 8 of them which is a big help when you need to switch out tires fast. Thank You Rays!!!
6 Days till Long Beach

Some of you may know but House of Colors is helping with the paint for the car. This is why its been a while since the car has been at the body shop. They are working on something that should be interesting for the car.
After the post a few weeks back of the parts that I still needed, One of the members of club4ag emailed me saying he was going to build an sc300 and pick up a few things but never got around to using them. An intake and exhaust manifold. And if I needed them, he would trade for advertising space on the car, AOBA Japanese Thai Restaurant. check out http://www.aobajapaneserestaurant.com/ and http://indrarestaurant.com "original thai cuisine since 1975" in Glendale. I got lost and hit the wrong freeway going to pick up the stuff. Thank You Jimmy!!
Then I just wanted to show you guys the coil overs for this car. RSR I-Shocks, titanium springs, aluminum housings, 2 way adjustable. Right now its 16kg and 16kg. Probably not going to run a rear sway bar so this should be cool. I may end up dropping the rear spring rate down a bit but need to test them first.
I also got a pair of Sparco Fighter seats, but I may need to trade these. They are the wide ones and bottom mount. I was looking for side mount and the regular size. Anyone want to trade for something else? They are slightly used (was the back seats of a fit for sema) and are pretty much perfect other then some dust and dirt from being in a car and not sat in for a long time.

I wish there was more of an update, the car is still in paint. Missing a couple things on the motor still. The valve lash is pretty far off and I dont have the shims to get it right. Think I need to have the valves cut down so I get in the range I need to just order shims from the dealer, unless someone in socal has some short 28mm shims. Think I may have found a clutch though which is good. And My web site has been updated after 6 years. I still need to fix alot of things but if you need web site work or a cool Tshirt, hit up www.kameezapparel.com

LOL, I raced in the 24hours Lemons with an mr2.
Think we will be building a GS3 next. Friend of mine already picked one up for us to build later, probably at the end of the year once the events are over.

Still waiting on word for the head. Didnt do much on the car. Just cleaned up some parts I know are going on there. Took the old tint off the rear windows and got those ready to go back on. I did pick up some seats last night to replace the ones without the FIA rating on them.
