Cool indeed. Would be interesting to see more photos for sure.

If his prices (for the kits) weren't so high, I'd be very tempted.

Nice! I think I recognize that victim, Slate Grey over Marble, RS bodykit and knock off RS wheels .. wasn't that car for sale on eBay last Fall .. out of New Jersey IIRC? ... it had quite a list of modifications and some decent sounding engine work done ..

Are you going with the Big Wing or keeping the RS tail? I think the RS tail would look pretty cool. Either way I would keep it and make it interchangable if you go with the Big GT2-EVO wing.

More pics from Day 3 Build

Stealth 993

SO how BIG are the wheels?

gonzilla

Sweet! but... PS2s and not "Idlers?"

It's so wide! And low!!!

TRINITONY

Yeah mon....Irie!

Regarding wheels, 18x10.5 F and 18x13 R. Tires Michelin 265 F and 335 R.

Engine mods? In the future I will be weighing the benefits of either a twin turbo charged 3.8 or 4.0L. Or go Normally Aspirated at 4.0L or slightly larger. I kind a like the idea of larger turbo charged sounds and street performance.

But that is in the future.

I think they/he just stencils "Idlers" on the sidewall, likely one of the finishing touches..

Brinkley

Yes to the stencils. but there are many tires that they use/recommend including Kuhmo, Michelin, and some types that are not available in the US. So I picked the brand I was most comfortable with.

Thanks once again Chad for letting me come check out the process and treating me to a "good texas steak" in Florida lol. I'll post some of the pictures I took tomorrow, car looks amazing in person, I think I may have to sell a kidney or convince Nakai to hurry up on the 996 conversion soon enough!

A work of art! I like the shot with the tech in the background.....nicotine, pepsi and lots of coffee....nothing like keeping the workers lubricated like a fine tuned engine

Here are some more thoughts to the posts.

Names...Nakai-san and I kicked this around during dinner tonight and while I have never named a car nor had a desire to have a named car I told him to think about it and email me some suggestions. We will see what he comes up with.

Dr. No...Will I build a motor with an additional 150hp to overcome the drag? Around town, I don't think the wider car and larger wing will bog down the current 3.6L motor too bad. 0-80mph should still be fine. If it were a track car and I was running Daytona every other weekend then yes drag would be on my radar but around town, stop light to stop light I think I'll be fine. That is until I do have a 3.8 or 4.0L turbo charged motor built. Then it will do both.

All over the world. When he landed and we were talking he didn't even know what day it was. tong in check, he was in Dubai then to Russia then back to Japan for a track day event then on to San Fran then to me here in Tampa.

nile13...No, no stickers yet.

That tech is Nakai-san. I agree he's got the lubrication down. I don't understand how he can fly to different countries and eat all types of food, slam the smokes and coffee then the pepsi and not have digestion/issues...

One of the best quotes so far has been in response to my question, where did you eat last night? Oh, very good place down round the way...Denny's very nice.

His favorite beer...
