Thanks man -- I created big shoes to fill and now I feel pressured to make this thing awesome. There's a chance it'll remain pretty chill for a while haha.
As for wheels and tires, I'm not sure yet. I loved running Nexen Sur4G's on the 1, but I'd like more rubber on this build since it's heavier and we've got the room. My track setup will be 18x10.5 with 295's all around. I'd like to try the A052's, AR1's and the new Falken RT660's. Haven't decided on wheels yet.
In other news, that's a wrap! After years of owning white, silver and grey cars, this is a huge change, but I'm so glad I went for it. The guys at Bold Cars really killed it on the details -- you'd really have to get close to see any white paint underneath, and out of the highly lit shop, this car looks totally painted. Will enjoy this for a while!
They also removed a small layer of clear coat from the carbon roof which had 12 years of grime, polished it, waxed, and then covered it with PPF that should look great for another 10 years.
Here are some photos in the shop.
Hoping to take over a lift at EAS this week and tear into the suspension. I'll be doing coilovers and all the front arms. Then it's time for seats, an Antigravity battery, corner balance and alignment.
I signed up for a
track day at Chuckwalla on 10/11. Some spots available still if anyone wants to come out. Fresh tarmac there and a good event with good people. Might do Buttonwillow the following weekend with Speed Ventures still, but we'll see how the month looks with work and progress on the car.
