I am very happy with all the burkhart stuff. fits nice. Only thing that took a lot of work was fiitting the mid plate in, and adding the bars that the chassis guy wanted to add. Just took a lot of time, but I am very happy with how well connected the car is now.

the 4500 adapter spacer is a HVH and is being CNC machine matched to the accufab 4500 TB. just waiting for them to get it done.

I really wish I had time to help you with fitments, and weights. But I hardly can get enough time to get my hands on the car to just get what I need done completed.

Got any pics of that 4500 spacer on the intake plenum?

If you get a chance can you see if a stock 16 rim fits the spindle, of get a pic how it fits? And do you know the weight of that spindle with the areospace brake kit. Or better yet just the hub and the wheel studs. To bolt the wheel on with no brake parts, I have the weights of most of the other spindle setups, and brake setups. but not the burkhart.

I like those lower arms, with horizontal tabs for aftermarket stocks, and a limiter tab. Just what you need, no swaybar mounts, or stock T bolt shock tab junk.
What drop is the spindle, did you check at ride height of the rotors hit the lower ball joint cup?

little update. Still been busy at work, with 12 hour days i dont get home till 7, eat dinner and hit the garage around 730 and work till around midnight.

Got the clutch and trans bolted up and installed in the car. Been finishing up the engine harness. I took a stock 02 M6 harness and cut out what I wasn't going to be running, and made it a stand alone setup.. Hope it all works when it comes time to start it.

Also been working on wiring up gauges and things of the sort. Waiting on final fuel fittings and lines to get here and the fuel system will be completed. already got pump and filters mounted, just have to connect everything.

I can see the car running by next weekend. then its time to run brake lines and finish interior.

Car would be running at this point, but my tuner had a death in the family.

Car is full of water, full on oil. Trans has fluid. Driveshaft is finished. Did the touch up painting under the car. As you can see its getting closer. I deff need to take some pics.

Finished running the brake lines today before work, pedal feels very nice and firm! Just have to get some more line clips, and tidy up fuel lines and such.

Slicks are getting mounted Thursday, and car should be rolling by the weekend!! Hope to get tuner at the house and flash this PCM(as long as my harness works) and get this beast running. Got some seats to mount, and carpet to lay. Going back to chassis shop to make a enclosed section for the rear hatch area where my fuel cell is located. weld on some seat belt tabs(i dont have a TIG)

Got the alignment rack saved for me the day after the 4th, wanting to hit the track that weekend after. thats 2 weeks.


Sorry for lack of Photo updates, I know thats what everyone wants to see. I will get some Tomorrow and post up. Just been toooooo busy to take any!

I do not. Silver SS has just been sitting pretty much, drove it a few times to dinner. It has not changed much, just sits on chrome z06's.


Thanks guys, yeah I cant wait to get this thing out. Right now I am having a hard time getting my ride height set with these AFCO springs, and not being able to adjust them Cause I am wanting to keep the stock style susp...
