Wilwoods are everywhere, Brembo as well. I will be rebuilding the stock rear single piston caliper, powdercoating it, and getting Stop-Tech drilled and slotted rotors. Really trying to focus on the interior right now.. must save every penny for that!

how far out are they from the bumper to the tips?
I belive they are roughly 6", extended the Apexi tips. Cut the Apexi tips off, added a piece of 5.75" long pipe of stainless and welded the Apexi tip to the end. Stoked on the outcome.

Ive been working on a DIY false floor for the car as well. tucked all my air, audio beneath the false floor with the top 3" of the tank peeking through. I've been taking pictures every step of the way, will post up some progress pics tonight. Hope to have a detailed DIY posted as well in the next few weeks.

Stay tuned!

So dusty man..






Cars been sitting for a while.. making improvements on some areas and cleaning up some loose ends. Like I said earlier Im wrapping up my trunk setup, false floor with 2 reverse mount 12" subs. Its coming together well, currently waiting on my tank to be dipped (chrome). Interior is going to the shop next week.

Also painted my air controller black and mounted it in the center storage upper compartment.


Dat table tho(sorry for the blurry shot.. it was dark as fuck and i wasn't about to grab my tripod)



Tray before


Tray after(again, dark as fuck in the car.. blurry i know..)



Trunk in-progress pic. Mocked up the sub on the raw MDF. This is what it will look like but obviously the MDF will be covered with fabric of some sort.



Here you can see the length of the extended Apexi exhaust tips.

Before


After



Here you can see just how much the body was extended and how far the wheels poke when the car is on stands

Basically cut the controller dimensions into the tray, smoothed all the rough edges, and bam. It fits nicely.

Alright Ive been holding out too long on posting pictures of my interior.. but first here are some other goodies I picked up:


Honda Genuine Parts boxes..




Gotta love fresh headlights!





That little clip that goes over the shift lock.. lost mine when i had my dash/console apart, its been really bothering me having that lil clip missing!! haha but now i got it! lol




StopTech drilled/slotted rear rotors:







AND... seats/rear deck finished:





The seats/reardeck are all suede and leather, the suede matches the double diamond stitch suede on my door panels/center console. Its a perfect match, down to the dimensions of the diamonds. Super stoked on the work. The roof and pillars are wrapped in black suede as well with matching red stitching. I really need to get a picture of that!

Better pictures of the interior soon.. i need to really pull the car out of the garage!

Any updates on this beautiful car? I dreamed last night your car was in my garage and my 2 year old and 4 year old were marring your paint with flat-head screwdrivers. I wasn't sure if I should apologize to you or run for dear life!

Totally agree Phill.. The sharp lines and shape pattern goes so well! Plan on possibly doing a new wheel finish soon..

There are quite a few! Unfortunately people are extremely amused by a car with a drop and wheels, the appreciation, and the drive to obtain full builds has diminished.

get the photo's off photobucket & on a flickr page to start, PB kills the quality. Also how are you shooting? (as in what mode, what values do you change etc)
