The same trak lites again or a different set. Either way, I'm excited to see this come together dude.

Same set! After 3 months of sitting on them I bought them back because I want the car to function well with the new engine. The Klutch wheels didn't satisfy me and the modifications to solve that would have made me hate driving the car.

Fair enough.
Changing the colour of them or staying white?
Powdercoat them to match the teal intake manifold and IDI cover!

Man can't wait to see some vid's, time's and numbers with this new motor! Just wish the new rims would of worked out because they looked so good with them on. Did you sell them yet?

^ this is good.
This needs to be posted again.
Finally pulled the old stock engine apart to see what damage I caused. I can't believe I drove it like this for 2 summers..
Not much left to do. Just some machine work for the HO intake cam/housing, Powdercoat a few things, Coat the header, then I can start final assembly. I'll be ordering a Clutch Masters FX300 soon!

Wow.
I'm surprised how clean the motor is inside with Mobil 1. Was it Synthetic?
I have seen a couple motors with Mobil 1 Synthetic and that was enough for me to never use it. Yours looks great!!

Yes sir. Mobil 1 synthetic. Changed religiously every 2500-3500 miles. I'll be continuing to use Mobil 1 with the next engine. Their extended performance oil is the old formula and they changed the normal synthetic from what I've heard.

Also, I tested a SPEEDHUNTERS stencil on one wheel. I love the outcome. I upgraded to a 25mm front spacer (5mm more than last time I used these wheels). Next time I buy tires I will be going 245 opposed to these 225.
Ha that's tight - nice job.
Your setup is pro.

It's beautiful fitment wise. I can't wait to see it with the 245's!! It's my inspiration for going low!
