Track Wheels..

A couple weeks ago I received my last set of wheels from Jason, over in Japan. I have been waiting for these wheels for approximately 3 months, and they finally arrived. They are Volk Racing TE37. The fronts are 15x8 +27 and the rears are 15x7 +30. These sizes are pretty rare and have since been discontinued by Volk. Luckily there were no scratches, curbs, or bends and the only flaw were the stickers, which I replaced with genuine Volk/Rays stickers. Since these are my dedicated track wheels, I decided to run R-compounds on them, 205/50/15 Toyo R888. Can't wait to run these at the track. Sticky icky icky!!

Power Supplies..

Received my order from Pegasus Auto Racing today, which included a bunch of wiring accessories. I am going to redo the power system in my car with all black cased wire, for a cleaner look. I ordered 4 gauge and 6 gauge wire, as well as many wire terminals and connectors. Also ordered a new master switch key and pull cable.

Progress..

I stopped by Franklin Autobody today because they had a couple questions about what I wanted to with such and such. When I got there, I saw that the car was prepped and getting primered. They primered the engine bay, so that scratches won't show, and the roll cage, cuz it was raw steel. They smoothened out some of my grindings on the firewall, and are going to fill in my old roll cage holes, as well as remove my rear seat brackets, since those will never be used again. Very happy that progress is being made, after sitting at the other shop for so long, untouched.

Out of Garage Inc. and into Franklin Autobody..

Been lazy and forgot to update the blog. This occurred 2 weeks ago. After sitting at Garage Inc. for two and a half months untouched, I decided to pull it out and get my money back. I just couldn't deal with all the false promises, so I schedule and tow and picked up my car.
