Fantastic to watch ! Many thanks for taking the time and effort to post your odyssey and passion ! (BTW; LOVE the color !) I also watched Juha's build out, and really liked it. The BBS E88's made the build 'perfect'.

The tub on your car is set up to move the suspension out 30mm on each wheel carrier. (Look inside the front boot below the gas tank on tub. You will see 3 sets of holes the two the inside are where the NB 993 bolts are currently set. There is a bit of work involved, but it the proper way to get the wheels in the correct position. Using a big spacer will change the scrub radius by a ton and also cause the wheel/tire to rub as the pivot point is extended. Check a couple threads posted on this part of the setup. It's not to difficult, but requires uprights and GT2 tie rods. The car looks great so adding the extra work will make it that much better.

Still lots to do, suspension geo, spacers, seats getting reupholstered (won't use Sparco's due to recent back pains), brand new wheel housings, finish polish etc.

Hey Bob, I'm going to look into what you recommend very soon, lets see how the new set of spacers do to the rubbing issue. Appreciate your help!
