I really like your car, and I admire the work to get the brakes on the car, I was looking to machine spacers to adapt the inner bearing of the t2 hub as well. What id they end up costing you??

One more question, why do you have spacers on your front wheels??

Thanks Steve! Hey your ride ain't too shabby my man!!! Yea, my car is in the feature section because, almost all of the work was done at the shop... engine, turbo, FI, body, interior, wheels, etc.. it was a collaboration between them and me.

Thanks again!

Yup... looking at getting some 17's made, and I wanted to get a feel for it... the 15's would stay for track days, and the 17's for the bling, bling!!

I was going to order up some SSR's, but I hear they just went bankrupt!!

Also want to do the full T-II brakes, along with the torsen... hey it's only money right?? To bad I don't have any right now... sigh!!
