The "What did you do to your car today" Thread!
No worries, man. I looked high and low. Short of waiting 3 months and shelling out $3,500 for TE37SL's in 18x9.5 and 38et, I could only find Volk 57Xtreme's in 18x9.5 with a 40et that would clear Brembos, and they were $900 outside of my price range.
Looks like gold O.Z. Prodrive's in 18x7.5 for me. Narrow, but they'll have properly fitted tires in 235/40-18 and they're gold. Rally Fozzy, anyone?

The motor was rebuilt by Mert from RBMS Auto Care (Same Mert who used to work at GST). The block was sleeved by Race Engine Development down in LA.
Tuning will be by Mike from GST.
Cracked sleeves in cylinders 2 and 4, and both heads were lifting off the block.

Spent a bunch of time outdoors. Went to some cool spots. Got something to eat. Came home, turned on the warm water, caressed lovingly, and then lathered up and waxed that ***.
My wife is so jealous of my car right now.

Yeah my car is still sitting at AHQ waiting for the rear axle parts. I hate not having my car.

Finished bending the rear dust plates on my rear brakes so they don't rub on the rotors anymore. Obnoxious grinding noise is gone.
Now just need to bleed them, and eventually pick up a set of Brembo clearing wheels, and I'm back in business.

Heads were lifting off the block? How's that? Not tightened enough or build quality issue?
