Long shot but here goes.. The person that called me offering to try my wheels on his wilwood front can you please contact me again ? my phone sh*t itself and deleted all my contacts

Update anyways:

Got the first of 6 or so boxes coming in from miata roadster.. hoping to send off my block to Chilton Engineering to get the machining done next week.
Also hoping to get my car back from panel beaters so i can redo the bushings, ball joints and wheel studs on the weekend

[mrpham]

Chilton are awesome, get all my stuff done there =)

Rotora Wing, Custom stands and mounts

Also made the decision to go offset bushing for my camber arms.. This will give me more adjustability

Bad news: Customs has held another package.. Fucks me why, they didnt give me a reason just yet. Getting pretty sick of it though hey. Turbo still hasnt arrived.. Its been 7 WEEKS !!!!!!!

Also just got word that my car wont be ready till next week

But hopefully i can get the block sent off and atleast start putting the motor together

Based on how much time this car has spent off the road, you should change the writing on the rear wing from:



- to "Garage Queen"

Seriously though, I really like this incarnation, it's good to see that you didn't give up on the car and now seem focused on getting the car out of the parking lot and onto the track where it belongs (I plan to get to the track more next year too, unfortunately mine is mostly a garage queen too ).

The Track Dog Air Splitter would look great with your colour scheme (ie. black lower edges and black rear spoiler),

See: http://www.trackdogracing.com/website/product_photos/90-97-splitter.jpg

[plohl]

the spoiler looks awesome dude! haha

what sort of times was the civic doing? Where were you racing it?
