I think that stance is only temperary, until he fixes his flat tire lol.

How do you get a flat without really driving it?

Thanks for the comments guys!

The wheels are three piece, and the tire shop actually damaged the tube on the drivers side front during install, hence the flat. Currently working with them to have it fixed.

Thanks, pretty happy with the progress so far.
I can't wait till I can post some pics of the interior. Just recieved new shift and ebrake boots from redline racing, as well as a center divider and rear divider in black leather with red stitching.

Also waiting on some new gauges and a steering wheel pod as well. Conflicted as to where to install all the gauges, want to try and keep things as uncluttered as possible. With the a-pillar pod and steering pod full, it's time to get creative.

So it looks like I'll be bringing the car across the border within the next two weeks, Plan is to have it tuned and some final things installed before the summer at Forcefed Performance in Langley. So stoked!!

Marko isn't in Langley anymore. He moved his shop to Abbotsford. It'll be nice to see the car up close. I have to retune my 13B-PP over there again. Are you one bcrotary.com ?

I'm Kris, hope to meet you some time.

13B PP sounds pretty sweet, thinking about a bridge port in the future.

Would be great to meet you as well, I'll let you know the plan as it unfolds.

Wow your car is looking amazing! i love the two tone it is just subtle enough to make you look twice! Keep it up man!

If I ever get my 7 cleaned up enough I may have to make a trip there to see your car for myself.
Beautiful!

Thanks guys! very glad to be at this end of the project. The next week will see a lot of ground covered, hope to be on the road within that time. Also looking forward to installing the remaining interior components sitting in my closet.
MSILK we should get together on a cruise, would be cool if the majority of the BCrotary crew could all swing a day or two for a cruise somewhere, from the island up to Whistler with Van doing the same or something along those lines.

Thanks! The Reventon was part of the inspiration behind the color. It's a custom two tone we came up with using BASF paint.

Interior Teaser

Still lots planned for the interior. Here is a teaser. I'm planning to keep it as subtle and functional as possible. Don't worry the wheel is going! lol.

No lexan headlight covers yet?

There is one thing that a lot of people don't do. The "lip" that the lexan cover sits on almost always remains the same color as the car, but I think it needs to be painted black. Know what I mean?
