yeah i guess i will try to update the thread here as i buy the parts i need.
So far we found a hood, a front and rear bumper to repair the accident the car had, in 2-3 weeks, we are still missing a fender and a mirror. We should start to tear the interior apart to see what we are working with but i got to make some place on the lift and get that freaking Porsche out of there first |

Driveshafts and Axles.
Here's an excellent company that we have used for high power endurance race cars and they build incredibly durable racing axles and driveshafts. http://www.driveshaftshop.com/ Driveshaft for the BRZ: Carbon or aluminum http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import...fts/subaru/brz Axles: 600hp and 1000hp Axle kits http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import-axles/subaru/brz What I've had success with on my racecar (albeit lower HP) is I buy new axles from the dealer, strip them and replace the grease with Amsoil Polymeric NLGI#2 grease.  As for Wheel bearings. I buy a good quality brand like Timken or SKF, pull the cage and replace the grease with this:  I have increase the life of the wheel bearings on my race car by more than 2 fold.
