work maximer F2, they were a custom order wheel from japan, as far as I know there is one set in the us (me) and one in PR.



They are actually built by stern, but for some reason work rebadged them. I have the stern centercaps..

Well,



Now I am on MY schedule as far as working on the car is concerned. I still have a **** load of stuff to do, but I will work a lot faster then the fab guy does



I'd say it is at about 65% done. The fabrication was the major chunk of the work that needed to be finished.



The new PPF for the transmission still needs to be made, but that is "3 hours of work" according to kayo.



Here is the List of things to do:



Tear down motor and inspect

Order rebuild kit

order 10lbs wastegate springs from tial

port intake and exhaust

assemble motor

install motor

make s/s coolant lines (mabye)

Install r1 oil coolers+ s/s lines

GET THE TRANS! They are taking forever!

Cut the trans tunnel for the shifter

Take the car back to kayo's for the stainless steel torque arm

install driveshaft

tune...
