Okay boys and guys, its pic time.. So this past weekend I went to go pick up my car from UpRev, from all the FAB work being done.. Cage, front tube chassis, Radiator ducting and much more... I love the work that Russell did and highly recommend him to anyone that needs any FAB work done on their car.

Now it sucked driving back cause it started to rain, tried to cover the car with a car cover so must of the exposed metal did not get rain on it.. But **** happens and water got on some of the metal so have to clean the rust off before paint..

I will add a drink later, at work so I forgot to upload a beer for the week..

On to the pic 80+ of them....lol

This build is awesome. I thought fd changed the hydro setup for next year in the rules? That it has to be a seperate system. So you would have to run 2 extra calipers in the rear just for the hydro brake.

Please tell me you will sell this dual rear caliper setup you speak of? I know on zilvia there is a guy that sells the adaptor plate for the 240's. I know he is looking into one for the Z.
