Got the wrong tires in. Don't know if our distributor replaced them with these or didn't know what they had in stock. They sent us a set of DWS06 Continentals. I'm sending them back.

Update in the tire situation: The Continentals are going back, Nitto's have been ordered. AutoZone sent me Type R calipers without brackets, so that delays the five lug swap a few more days. I can't catch a break

I think I may have found a set of brackets for the rear calipers, fingers crossed.

It did, in the form of that Spoon engine and the carbon fiber hood that is coming with my front end lol.

You might, my wallet does not lol. I filled my cart at gotuning and it totaled it to almost $5k, without Spoon brakes or wheels. And that still wasn't everything I wanted.

I'll probably just start scooping stuff up when it comes in our containers. We have a few small things currently, and I think we're gonna sell the header off of that Spoon engine I put in the EK9. I love the way it's all engineered, it's all (practically) flawless.

Just ordered a new (used) valve cover so I can get it painted/powder coated yellow like a Spoon cover. No way am I spending $600 for a valve cover when I can pick one up and paint it for under $100 lol.

No updates on my stuff, but this old girl came out for a long overdue bath today. I've heard the story behind this car multiple times, and I hope she stays with this company for a long time to come.
