We are almost done with the chassis -hopefully will be completely finished by the end of the week minus paint work.
I ordered a GT42R today from Sean at A-spec. I am very happy with the service I have received from Sean to date. I will post more pictures later this week as things continue to shape up.

i ordered my gt42R kit from sean 2 months ago and have to call and bug them every other day (not kidding) to even get an update. i was told it'd be done by Aug 15, hoping to make 7stock with the car. think i have anything?

Paximus, I'm sorry you've been waiting awhile for your kit. Fortunately for me I got an email from Sean on the 30th stating that the turbo arrived and is ready to ship 
I also ordered an HKS 60mm GT II wastegate from A-spec today. It's a very trick looking piece (aside from the color) and hopefully will be big enough so that I can run less than 10psi if I desire to.
Finally, I ordered a stainless steel T6 flange for the turbo manifold that is machine matched to the gasket.
So far I have found A-spec's service to be refreshingly professional, and Sean has given me a lot of good advice along the way on things that aren't directly related to the parts I am purchasing from him.

Quick Update:
The firewall is pretty much done. It took a lot of massaging, but the heater, AC, and blower assembly will fit without modification.
I am waiting for the turbo flange to arrive and then we will build the exhaust manifold/downpipe. Apparently A-spec's supplier didn't make a stainless T6 flange . . .but they do now Anyway, it should be here in a couple of days and then the real fun begins.
