The rims are pretty light and i'm having all sorts of fun polishing them right now, lol.


I have some new parts to add to the build though, a brand new auxiliary vacuum canister for those long EOC periods so I dont have to worry about my braking ability. It was free

I also mocked up turbo position for a Ac/full length radiator compatible manifold on one of my coworkers Crx. He has a fully built D series almost ready to go back in and he is going to use a Skyline turbo @ first then switch to a Disco Potato later on. My boss also wants one of these manifolds for his Ek coupe and I'm also building one for myself

They will be strictly prototypes for right now as they will incorporate some "tricks" we usually dont use.

I also picked up some 440cc injectors

I attached a pic of my baby gt17 turbo, should pump out 200 hp but thats gonna be pushing it pretty hard. I also plan to use a Aquamist HSF-5 setup for pre-turbo meth/water injection. But I wont be boosting for a few months.
