Did a test fit of the new motor this weekend. Need to make one more modification to the subframe and then I can drop it in again to measure for front engine mounts and custom oil pan.
Going to be a challenge to get it all done by MATG this year.

Taken last Friday by one of the "photographers" at our weekly meet. Not quite sure what I'm looking at. My guess is one of the idiot EG hatch drivers that like to be obnoxious.

angle of that shot makes the car look so damn small
There was a 240 parked next to it at one point and dwarfed it easily. I also had a toddler tell his mom that he likes it cause it's small and that he could drive it.

This is my first - have had it only a month. Haven't really done much but added the intake and some audio stuff.

That's an NB. This is an NA thread.

So simple and clean! Very nicely done!

Chaparrals! Wish they weighed less. From what I've found there's just not a properly light banana spoke 15" wheel made by anyone. Even RS Watanabe's magnesium wheels still weigh more than 6ULs. And dem Wats are hella pricey.
Say, you ever run into balancing issues with the Chaparrals? Pretty sure my vibration/shimmy issue is down to the tires as I've read the Chaparrals are usually round with little to no flat/heavy spots.
Been contemplating if a Road Force balancing is worth doing with half used Sport Comp 2s.
The Chaps have been awesome! I aways contemplate getting something else, but I just love the wheel and the design! Haven't had any balancing issues either!

I love banaspokes and Chaps do look good, but I'm not a fan of the sizing. I also like a little more dish.
I'll own a set of SSR RS8s someday.

RS8's are not particularly lightweight as well.
Just messing around test fitting stuff
