Much excite! New wheels are being finished and shipping out Tuesday! These still need the final top coat and polish but Koya was extremely accurate, it takes only about 3 weeks to get them. Loving the finish in the pictures, usually if it looks this good on a phone they look better in person.

Now if the rest of my parts would arrive that would be greaaaaaaat....

Silly update on the wheels. They are shipped now and show a eta of the 19th, so that's good news! Kinda cool they sent some glamour shots before boxing them up. Side note they do include center caps and weight spec is 18lbs for 17x10 which is right on par for a semi forged/flow formed/whatever wheel lingo you want to use, spun formed wheels.

Those are purdy, can't wait to see them on the car

Awesome! Did you end up with a ET40 offset or did that change?

I think that's a bit better weight wise for a 17x10 wheel.

Main ducting done, still need to make dividers for the oil cooler, brake ducts and intake (parts need to arrive) but overall pretty happy with the look. Lots of stuffs arriving this week so hopefully I can get to knocking things out, next season is coming faster than I want at the moment

Nice of them to build the car ready for a V-8 like that

Lots of little things done with some extra time on hand. Still waiting for a lot of parts to arrive.

Wheels! I can't get my phone to convey the color and how nice the finish is, almost don't want to race them

shipping was a week from door to door and no problems with customs. So overall a very pleasurable experience and look forward to ordering my other sets now that I know fitment is right.

Fitment! Room for activities!

Spindle centered in strut hole, wheel has about 6mm clearance at +40ET, no spacer.

Front fenders do not need rolled at 3.5" or above, I will roll mine anyways as I do it on every race car just in case.

We could easily fit 11" wheels in the rear under stock panels. Food for thought.

Finished the intake, just did the copy and past of a vast majority of ls swaps as it just works. K&N 2013 ls3 corvette intake.

Decided to get the dash panel done, going to mount the gauge panel on the column behind the wheel, that way it always moves with the wheel position and mount the canbus pad down low on the tunnel or maybe up high on the cage, will decide once parts get here. Oh park brake is installed as well in front of the shifter.

I REALLY like the way you did the dash. You are proficient with the bead roller.

blsfrs · 12-28-2022, 08:30 AM

In the dash, there are 3 fluid reservoirs. Brake, clutch, blinker fluid? With the windshield in, how much room do you have to get the caps off/on?
