Getting close to finishing up the build...here's a few pictures of the car with custom fabbed wing uprights and cup wing. Hatch, hood, wing base, and doors all fitted and car should be going off to paint any day and then it's time to assemble and hit the track. Can't wait.

I told Betim I want BIG AERO because I have to keep up with Mooty who's running full cheater tires so they used Getty's wing base and Getty CF Cup Wing Replica along with custom fabbing the uprights and CF wing ends (not pictured). The goal is to get the car out on the track March 4th to shake it down.

Yeah, the custom wing uprights and that wing will look bad ***. I'm going to be running 18x9 wheels up front with 255/35/18 R7s and 18x10 wheels in the rear with 275/35/18 R7s.

Those are some big meats up front. Do you have to run any wheel spacers on front or rear?

I figure since I have big aero in the rear I needed to go a little wider in the front with the 255s. No spacers needed on either the front or back. I might have the roll my front fenders if the front tires are rubbing. I picked up a set of Caragraphic race headers and BBI will install a 997 cup center exhaust.

yeah, with so much rear aero you are going to need to dial out some understeer probably.

Engine back in the car along with the wiring...getting closer and closer now. Look at the opening in the engine through the opening...no A/C pump and no Power Steering pump. Here's a few more pictures...
