Nice I'm 5'10" 185 and my shoulders were forced forward by the Recaro SPG I picked up before.. was going to get the XL version of the SPG but it felt like my waist/buttdyno (33") wouldn't have been secure and then started looking into reclinable seats

i just verified these are the standard sized sparcos also.. you may like the medium version of them. Im a very big dude.. muscles n such lol. ( lifes rough for me haha)
and this isnt tight, but is comfortably snug, ie , its bigger than me..
you will disappear in this seat if youre 185 and 5 10

Hm I thought they just had Standard and XL sizing (dk much about Sparco seats) but I'll look into the M version then instead since they have specific sizing like that. You're not the only one with muscles, stud lmao

My Sparco Monzas are a tight fit around the waist, almost uncomfortable, but I'm no stud muffin like you two.

I'm sitting in your seat this weekend John, what's the size? Standard or Medium? Not going to lie the sizing is a little confusing.. Doesn't Standard = Medium in most cases? Lol

That's the first thing I'm replacing when I get back is my sparco seat (PRO 2000 II)! Way to small for my 6'4 230 frame I feel a Circuit II would do fine

im fishing for a tire sponsor at the moment too..

Looks like possibly a Nitto NT05.. not sure on sizing though.. i can run with them if i lightly streetch 275 30 19 all around..

If the fenders let me air down and stay with a meaty fit w out having retarded camber.. then I may go with a taller Nitto or hit up Toyo for the good ol R888 in 295/ 305 30s

so these strdast fenders are about to get expensive lol..

we had kicked around a figure of 3-400 to ship.. which in hindsight was hilarious.
FED EX will most likely cost the same as the kit.. around 1500 dollars lol..
but its a fw days and right to my door.

Talked to Mark at bulletproof.. got him in touch w Shingo and Kenich at Stardast and perhaps we can tag along on their boats our of Yokohama... we shall see i guess.

fan shroud i bought doesnt really it the 14 inchers very well, so we built a new one.. holes help make it more rigid since i have no room for a support rib down the middle.

Are those SPALs? Their extreme pullers are amazing, going to get some slimlines when I swap out my rad for a CSF unit.

How are you mounting the shroud? I don't see any tabs

they ahvent finished it yet.. still need to add the tabs on and also tack in block off plates behind the dimple holes.. they are there for rigidity first off.. looks 2nd.
Still needs to be solid tho to work best.

My wheels ship out today. and my hood and roof get delivered tomorrow.. big week for me!

Just glad i made it home from Vegas w money left in the bank, no HIV.. and a functioning liver.

You're doing it wrong if you didn't at the very least come home with the HIV
