Gonna have to say damn good job on cleaning up those hubs. You get some new rotors on there too?

Thanks man. Yeah, had to get new rotors for the 5 lug. They're cheapos now but will most likely upgrade soon.

Thanks. Yeah have the wheels already. Cleaning them up now.

Nick's doing well. There are some insane projects at Dent as usual. Not sure if he posted his loss but he crashed the back end of his beautiful M3 at a hillclimb event a few months back. A few weeks ago I was by there and he had a sedan chassis stripped down to just the shell. When i was there this weekend he had the drivetrain out of his M3 ready to swap into a sedan chassis that is getting caged and the full track treatment.

After the previous update I've been working to keep this baby going, had big plans for it. Then it all came to a halt when i assessed my resources and time needed to dedicate to such a task. The engine had been giving me sh!t for a while, so in preparation for that time I picked up an H22 that I had decided would go in end of summer/start of fall. The time came and went and I just decided to throw in the towel. The H22 was going to be a simple install for the moment with the possibility of building in the future, even thought about a fully built turbo G23. Here are the last set of build pics i have.

A rendering i did years ago of what i wanted as a finished product. A weekend track car that i could daily if i wanted.

I like what I am seeing here and look forward to the updates on the project.

I am sure those CF fenders would be much less pronounced, which is good, but that rendering looks pretty awesome.

Parting out, no updates unless i pick up another 6th gen before i get rid of the parts. Realistically the CF would have been poly, that was done in my fanatical CF days.

Chido, the rendering is sick mang. I would of liked to see the car completed. And why the part out? You had alot of top quality parts on your ride.

Car was turning into a ball of stress and a money pit. Trying to coordinate installs with life and parts purchasing was pretty stressful. I don't have a garage either so that amplified the stress.
