Wheels are finally being produced, takes 3 weeks which isn't really bad in my opinion. They sent some pics of the style of the barrel (it is the wheels at the back of the picture, the fronts are for smaller ones like a 8" barrel) and CAD drawing for brake caliper clearance (they have already done fitment with multiple brake setups) and what they will look like before the candy color is applied- called super chrome. Anthony at Koya has been very helpful through the process and made things easy. Much excite!!

Looks like you get a bit more aero parity between classes as of this rule update today

The subframe swap is a big thing too, i have friends with ls swapped miata's and such that can now come play in 4, so that is a big bonus for me fun wise! I was also debating on using a restrictor plate and running a mechanical throttle body versus multiple throttle body detunes to get that extra power (.3) since I have the ability to adjust so easily. Probably have to run a 45mm plate or aka a straw |

Yeah, bunch of nice quality of life changes for 4 this year for sure.
I think it is funny Greg finally clamped down on the Continental flashed MK60 units in 4, and I find it even more funny that people are upset about it. I wish he'd have allowed other swaps (S197, RX8 non-DSC, etc) but that is what it is.

Nothing real exciting for the moment but a little more done, shifter assembly is built and works great. Finished painting more parts and started on the wing mounting and dash panel, will have that all sorted here in a day or so. A Haltech 2500 is on the way as of yesterday, I love black Friday sales! Was hoping for a sale on the AIM pdm32 with 6" screen but not seeing anything. I was holding off on a lot of purchases in hopes of deals, but I can't wait no mo! Sakebomb garage is having a sale to, so the front brake kit is on the way.
Also, silly but helps to motivate me, I had to roll the car outside to move customer stuff around and it just felt good to see it outside and on the ground for a minute. I will also be finishing the floor plate for the pedals by adding a backstop for a footrest next to the clutch pedal. |

Starting to look like a car again
Weight is looking good so far, numbers are pre bumper bar replacement but those are only worth like 1-2lbs since I am more focused on strength - 1.25 chromoly tubing. Front fascia is cut and ready for grille material, ordered factory fog light fillers for the sides. Plenty of room now up front for ducting, oil cooler and intake ducting. I have been avoiding the dash as I'm waiting for the instrument display, pdm and canbus pad to arrive for fitment. I should have wing mounting finalized soon as well but need that to arrive too hurry up and wait! |

Sounds good. I'm hoping to do a lot of the season this coming year.

Got a little bit done this week, been sick again so not moving very fast on anything. Finished up the deck lid, rebar's and bumper covers. Waiting on the rear tow hook to arrive and will be making mounts and front aero soon!
For those wondering on the front grille opening, everything behind it will be closed off except for a much smaller opening, it will basically look blacked out when done. |

Looks good! From experience I would blue loctite the push button latches as I have had them rattle apart and lose body panels!
