Sorry man, that was abolished around 200 years ago. OH wait, nevermind. Hey, good luck with this, and make it nice! THIS is your fast car. The Porsche is your yuppie car.

18x9 is a good size yes, +30 offset, nice but maybe not so aggressive for a 34.

The car currently has Apex’i Pwer FC for engine management, and has also been converted to speed density from MAF.

Only the SF Challenges came with the car, and those are 19x9.5 +15 offset. I will prolly be doing 18x10 +10-15 offset wheels. Before the previous owner had the Japanese BBS LM’s w/ the red center cap in a gold finish. Looked sick.

You should try tracking down the R33 LM GT-R rims… I mean, good luck. But they are pretty sick.

Hennessy, but it’s no biggie. Just remember Cognac, not Vipers 😉

I’m going through this car and taking care of all the minor issues with it, as well as adding a few touches here and there. Replacing all missing hardware, recoating(anodizing) the valve and coil covers back to stock red candy color, routing vacuum lines differently, etc, etc. Removing 18mm bolts from vent lines where noted…There’s just a handful of cosmetic and minor mech things that just don’t sit well with myself or Cossey and they’re all being addressed in one manner or another.

The catch can system is my triple chamber baffled design, vacuum loop, air/oil separator. Complete PCV function and aside from running a dry sump with vacuum pump it doesn’t get more functional. They’re always made to fit specific per each vehicle so it’s nothing I sell outright as a kit but I am contemplating it for this chassis.

Gearbox…it’s getting a slight rework. New input shaft will be treated accordingly, and the new clutch IS a sprung design the aid in preventing this from happening again. If Cossey starts shooting for the stars with this car and plans over 600wheel at some point, OS Giken or some custom machined bits from me will be in his future for certain.

Spelling noted and edited original post. 😉

Adam here is fixing everything and doing it right. I can’t ask for more really, he’s going above and beyond.
