Well the car is CLOSE to being finished. Interior is about 75% but as always I ran into MORE issues. Hood won’t latch properly so after hours of trying to make it work I ordered a new cable because I think that is the issue, it will be here friday. Also I can’t get pedal pressure in the brakes. I can pump it up but after like 30sec I can push it to the floor again. I bled then a ton so maybe it has a leak somewhere but I called it quits there. Just didnt feel like working anymore. Car could easily be drivable with a days worth of work assuming no more major issues but it has a ton that needs to be sorted still. ---

Looking at that I can not believe how close to finished and how different it looks right now. I will get some new pics tomorrow and damn we need video with better audio. Literally the car needs the new hood release cable(on z way) Fix whatever is making my brakes loose pressure. Either a leak or just still air in the lines. Put together a few random interior pieces nothing over an hour. ??? Profit. ---

Once you check for leaks, try a gravity bleed on the hydraulic systems (clutch and brakes). Just fill each reservoir with fluid and crack a bleeder. Run a few tanks of fluid through the clutch and one or two per corner on the brakes. Works like a charm for my S2k. ---

Wordski. I want to try that thing newman has rigged up. We will see but this shouldn’t be a major issue. I have somewhere to be at like 8ish tomorrow night and am busy till about 5 but might try to sneak in about 2hrs of wrench time to see what I can figure out. I really just want to take it for a ride around the block! ---

So I am looking for insight on something…not something I typically like let alone ask for. I have two sets of wheels the chrome asa’s in the pics and a set of matte black fno1-rc’s. Due to the fno1s being wider that is probably what I will be running…But I am having a hard time picking a color. Now I am not a fan of black wheels but I am not going to lie I tossed them on and the car looks really nice. Consider that my car is basically alllll black, tinted tails, markers, windows. so repaint wheels Satin black ![http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wheel/image/proracer/fn01rchot/hv_mb.jpg](http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wheel/image/proracer/fn01rchot/hv_mb.jpg) Get these things polished? Dope but id need to take them somewhere as im not doing that shit. ![http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wheel/image/proracer/fn01rchot/machine_polish.jpg](http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wheel/image/proracer/fn01rchot/machine_polish.jpg) Paint them Gold? i like gold on black cars. ![http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wheel/image/proracer/fn01rchot/hv_bronze.jpg](http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wheel/image/proracer/fn01rchot/hv_bronze.jpg) Paint them a charcoal color like my BBS wheels on the M5.
