yup. the plan is to run a front apr splitter with the supports, a rear under diffuser with the vortex generators and center diffuser, and at some point im going to be building a full carbon/kevlar belly pan.
i will be finding little things to do on her as time goes on
are our cars ever REALLY finished?

Really liking the build, man. Can't wait to see the finished product. Do you happen to know what software Hypertek used to make the rendering of how it will look? I want to make one for my vert before I start ordering parts and things and would love to use that program.

1) redid my battery relocation. i originally mickey moused it, and it was bugging me. so this time i used 6" long bolts so i can remove the batty easier.
original

yes, my car is filthy. im going to be replacing the carpet with a bnib one from mazda i scored a while ago
and then finally finished installing my infini pedals
again, carpet is getting replaced, and im going to be buying new floor mats as well

And you shall get it man, I have not doubt about it. This will be the sickest vert in the world when you're done with it, I've never seen one that can match. Even at this stage in the build.

quick update:
finally redid the trans, replaced the bell housing and replaced the trans bushings with level-zero poly urethane units
as you can see, i have done the suspension/brake setup already
list still to do before paint:
re-bleed the brakes (there is still air in the system somewhere, even though i vacuum bled it....)
figure out why its not starting (new starter, bypassed the alarm and clutch safety)
replace the interior, but i might wait til after paint to do that
besides that, just waiting for the sideskirts to show up, then the fenders get rolled/pulled, then off to paint!
eta to completion: 2 months!

another quick update:
took her for a shakedown run today.....it feels amazing. the power steering feels a bit too quick, like a 80s honda accord......
need to fix a few minor things, but nothing major. rebled the brakes last night, pulled a lot of air out the right rear line, and found the front caliper brake line leaking at the caliper, i guess i didnt tighten it down enough......oh well
side skirts will be here tomorrow, then off to get the fenders rolled/pulled, then off to paint
shes almost done!
