I'm debating about the interior and test fit the Takata Harness on the Spirit R Recaros.
Let me know what you prefer?
Also, got my VS-XX refinished/powder coated and put new Toyo T1-Sport tires. I've heard great things about these and can't wait to test them out.
**They are not going on this 3 rotor project car**

Past couple of days, I decided to strip off my spare RZ hub assemblies and fix up the rotor back plates and such.
Fronts fixed and degreased... Test fitted the new DBA rotors.. Shaved some metals so DBA rotors can freely spin.
Rears fixed and degreased
My good friend Bryan from BNR Supercars is going to let me use his cabinet to blast the rust and such off so I can get the prettied up today.
Also, I received some goodies from Turbonetics.
Their GT-K 1050!!!!

I'm currently putting the car together for SEMA and I can't upload all the stuff that's going on..
I'll make this short and share 2-3 pics.. including the render done by amazing artist and designer, Greg Thompson. He did an amazing job rendering the car with few pics I sent him and list of goodies I was going to put on. Just amazing work!! Since its so close to SEMA, I'll share the render to give you guys an idea what it will look like (exterior).
Hint of couple of parts..
I'll update the full car on my way to SEMA..
