Nice shots, CD. You might consider using one of these new pics as an Avatar. Your current one is really dark and difficult to see.

Front page also says "plans" haha. To answer your question they are 18's but I have a strong urge to get 19's.

Update:
The J32 died. Going down the interstate went to shift gears, heard a small noise, and it died. No idea why. I did a visual inspection of the car nothing looked messed up, went to start it and the motor was locked up.
Pull the manifold and found the metal from my #1 cylinder piston EVERYWHERE! Sad sad day.
Used motor with 75K has been order along with a goodie or two.

Awesome progress, car has come long way. Gotta question, for Type-S cams, all you need to do is valve adjustment or did you need to purchase more? Kinda interested in doing myself as well.

You and me both. It runs good. I can tell it's got more power but it's not as much as I expected, but my original motor ran really well and was well kept. So that might make a difference.

I don't necessarily think u need the adjustment but I would highly recommend it, especially since ur already there.
