Smile Z Build Well ON ITS WAY! Almost Done. LONG POST

So lots of things have been accomplished with the build thus far. Working hard to get the current wave done so I dont spend all summer without my baby. The guys at Draco have been extraordinarily helpful in the build, especially while I have been deployed. The sponsorship has been a tremendous push towards completion of this thing.

Currently being wrenched on...

Engine pulled cleaned and rebuilt: Cosworth rods, 95.5mm/8.8:1cr pistons, rings, bearing sets, Greddy Twin Turbo Kit-Type 23 Intercooler
cast manifolds, downpipes, external wastegates, w/g dump
pipes, cast oil pan, airinix intake, Cosworth Fuel Rail Kit, aeromotive fuel pump-340, DeatschWerks RB26 870cc Top Feed Injectors, cus.

Tack ons: Aquamist High Flow System (HFS-6), brembo gt bb kit, Haltech Standalone Engine Management.

Body: Chargespeed Type 2 full body, CF Diffuser, CD canards, CD splitter, TS CF hood, Custom CF roof, OEM mirrors CF'd (look for my craftsquares in the FS section soon.)

Suspension:
Lots of custom work on this one, but here are some of the parts included, whiteline bushings all around, every damn gt spec stiffening braces, SPC camber/castor kits, hotchkis sway bars, quaife ATB diff, upgrade to variant 3's (keep an eye out for my v2's in the FS soon.)

Previous mods already done: Borla full ex, borla headers, enkei rpf1's wrapped in re11 245/285's, kw v2 coilovers, OR pulleys, and other random small stuff.

Things I have yet to buy and still researching: A damn clutch, how many stickers i can legally fit on my windshield

Thanks for all the help you guys gave on the forums, lots of research went into this build from the beginning, cant wait to get started on the interior during the winter months

Some Pics... And more pics on the way...

Before this huge wave:

For me, mostly just for shows, I dont have the time or sand to really track it effectively. Barry Bodine will be racing my car for me when the opportunity presents itself.

But just having a fun car that turns heads and being involved in the import culture is good enough for me...

Once I am done with interior it should be a top notch show car imo.

Thanks everyone for the comments and encouragement. I will post pics as they come... ****ING COSWORTH TAKES FOREVER

Nice plan. You touched on pretty much every aspect of the car and chose quality parts. Good luck with everything!

Don't let them paint over those CS badges! If you look around you will see how many knock off's people have. Very few are showing that badge..
