Embrace that pressure!

It's gonna be fun and I think you'll be better prepared than you think. Remember, lots of fools are getting on the track for the first time with big power. You have many days under your belt with that stockish 350. I think that can only help serve you in the safe "growth" and learning your new car.

Good to hear on yanking the car from the other shop and getting it to Fab53. That clutch line around the steering column yikes!!

Your gonna love the R888's they are an awesome tire.

And oh your new wheels look awesome mocked up.

Your not far off Chad, keep at it and it will get done.

Nothing like a text message Sat night showing progress on your car!!

Teaser cell phone pics

315mm of meaty goodness out back



275 of meaty goodness up front. Front fenders will need to be rolled and inner fenders clearanced to make this work.


I can't wait to see this in person!

Thanks guys. I just left Brett's. Car looks good with more rubber and lower ride height in the rear. I took some pics with a better Camera so well see how they turned out. Brett has found some more Gremlins that well have to overcome.

Gaetano the front are 18x9 with 5.75" BS. Due to the full mounting pad fiasco I don't get much outer lip. I do have over 3" of caliper clearance though...

Oh no. Hopefully not expensive or time consuming!
