Whoa, that RHD specific crossmember is pretty cool. Never saw one of those before.
And those wheels look awesome. My friend has a set of Enkei's on his RSX Type-S and i was going through the catalog and surprised to see they offered Porsche fitments. The only other Japanese wheel i liked were the TE37's from Volk. Its unfortunate however because those Enkei's like the Volk's are only available in 18''+ sizes for the Porsche bolt pattern.
You can get them from TireRack also, you have to punch in a newer model car however.. a '96 911 Coupe works and will give you all the same wheels that would fit a 951. They list the NT03 at around $325-350 each depending on widths.
We def. need some better outside shots!! I think those would look bitchin in black on a red car, think i may pass on CCW's now .

Thanks guys. Yes I like the looks and think they're a great wheel available at a great price especially for you guys. They cost me $2900au where you are looking at $1400 a set! It's not fair. I know there is exchange rate but we all probably earn a similar weekly paypacket number so it takes us twice as long to pay for things.
The fronts were pretty close to the guards but this was with no neg so we should see some decent improvement with about 3-4 degrees. BTW, how much margin do we have to adjust caster in our cars?
Re the RHD crossmember, so the steering shaft came into play when getting my headers made up and Dave set up a jig with a dummy s/shaft and the side of the engine bay in position and built around it. This was achieved through a bunch of photos sent over to him. Be nice if they fit.
Here's stock, beginning of new ones with jig, finished product.

So I'm stuck until I can get the car into the shop for these mods.
Oh dear God, when can I stop the bleeding........

It'll never happen Curt. The hours that they take to make these items will always dictate that they're expensive. You could cut down a little on material costs by choosing an inferior grade of steel but what would be the point. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the flesh myself.
