Well I will let you know what those 18s are then...lol

I am getting about 10 wheels from DPE in 18x9.5 -22 front and 18x12 -?? (don't know yet the offset of the rear, still doing some testing to figure out what I need to sit flush and be at 0 to -1 camber) And the style of the wheels is ST10 which was the first wheels I put on this car. Check out the first post on this thread and you will no the wheels..

Now as far as K-Sport goes, why not? I was running the ZC Coilovers made by AST and Stanceworks before.. That suspension was not meant for track and was more set up for Daily Driving and being stupid low. Which worked out great. K- Sport joined the build and was happy to work with me on what I need for the track. It is a really thought out design and works great for the Z33s as you can tell from their own FD 350z...

Your garage looks smaller. But the updates are awesome. Glad to see the motor finally in the car. Can't wait to see the final product.

Just a little tease of what was done this weekend.. Nothing much just put everything in to move my car to its new home, which is my new house. Garage is stupid dirty due to the move need to clean it and epoxy the floor, but its home for now.. Next update will involve all the fittings and running the hoses.



First time the car has seen light in the past months.





Loaded up on the trailer and heading to its new home.. And Tow hook works, so that was a good test...lol



Packed away in its new two car garage. Can't wait to re-Epoxy the floor and clean it up. Also I know my wheels are backwards, just placed them on to move the car.

Speaking of paying attention to details... Having a custom shifter and a pistol grip made for my ASD Hydro, in ebony and ivory wood.. Can't wait on this.
