Doesn't matter because it's one-of-a-kind right now.

yeah yeah yeah.

I picked up new Centric blank rotors for my car yesterday... Front and rear only cost me $121. Centric has three levels of rotors, and I've got the highest 120 series premium ones, with a lifetime warranty against warping, etc. It's a different metal apparently, so it's more resilient. Apparently Centric makes oem brakes for just about everyone, and the upgraded ones I have are the same ones stoptech uses (which are then slotted, etc, by stoptech).

I'm gonna order my Project Mu pads and Stoptech lines today.

Hey man, I've got a couple of questions for you: Where did you order your FLP shifter from, I'm trying to buy one of those right now. Which size steering wheel did you get and do you like the way it feels? I've become much more fond of the Personal wheels now instead of Nardi. And finally, which steering wheel hub are you using, NRG? Thanks a lot, keep up the great work! -Joel

I bought my shifter from a guy on here when they were no longer made. prior to that, I tried ordering it from heeltoe only to find out they weren't made, so I signed up for updates. They kept sending me new info, and apparently now they're back in limited production, so check them out for that.

As for the wheel, it's a 350mm, and it's nice for daily driving. I've swapped it for my friend's 330mm for a minute and it felt too small and looks goofy, too. 350mm is perfect - it's the same size as an S2000 wheel, give or take 1-2 mils. Hub is NRG short with quick release.

Bump for the hell of it. I picked up a USDM P30 ecu for the motor and other misc parts. I still need a tranny and intake manifold and I'll be good to go. Not sure if I wanna run it as a 1.7 for a while or hold off and build it up before I put it in. I also sold the Recaro SPG to a local guy who's building a pretty nice little hatch. I'm ordering kevlar buckets in about a week.


I also checked today, I'll have my new lip in, in about 4 weeks so it's not taking too long
