Ok so I guess it's about time I give you guys an update haha.
Tires came in 245/45R17's up front and 275/40R17's out back.
Top end gaskets.
Getting the heads installed with arp studs.
Cleaned up the valley cover.
Got the trunion bearings installed into the rocker arms.
I got the other rear wheel well opened up.
First wheel and the throttle body came in.
FAST 36# injectors
The steering rack is all painted and cleaned up.
The rest of the wheels came in.
And I finally got the car on the ground.

NIce....I have mine setup on 17x8.5 and 17x9.5....but then again I am setting it up on the S14 chassis. Nice build for sure and I love the attention to detail. Cant tell from the pics but Diamond Racing Wheels?

Thanks I like how they look too, I'm going for a sort of a stock car look.
And no they aren't diamond racing. Just some heavy rock crawler wheels from pro comp. they were only like $95 a piece shipped. I will be getting a second set of lightweight wheels later on.

Man amazing build and please take this with a grain of salt. The way you just brushed off your best friends death kind of made you look heartless. If it were me posting I would have probably left that out or at least left a space between the next sentence full of exclamation marks. But yeah man keep up the good work!
