Well i went ahead a picked up some new tires for the red SE, Kumho Ecsta AST 205/50/15 for the front and 225/50/15 for the rear on the 15x7 ARE's. It looks pretty good, I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow when i drive it to work.

I also purchased an Arkay draw through setup for the 12A that's in the red SE. Should be a fun daily driver when finished

I finally got a day off work to get some things done. I took part of the day to transport the IT7 car to its new location closer to my new house.

Hey man, Im always thinking about you guys up in KC

No real plans for it yet, will probably do some track days and maybe some NASA TT events. Im about an hour away from Road Atlanta, it should be fun driving this thing down there.

Yup, its identical to the broken one.

Also, I was moving my widebody kit around and re-read the label that is on it, I totally missed that part where it says Woodstock, GA

I called both numbers and got nothing.

Hope for the broken wing and maybe some other body parts

Here is the other number, 1-800-222-9916. It rings for a bit and then goes to voice mail. I have never left a message, I'll try calling it again later on today.

No luck with the 1-800 number. But i did find a lead and talked to an employee of the company. The company has changed hands a few times and is still in business. The owner is supposed to be giving me a call later on this afternoon. I'll post more details when i get them

Its been a while, Seems like when you have these long term projects its easy to just set them a side and forget about them.

Should have some more updates soon. I have been keeping my eye on these for a while
