In Lancaster and you don't come and visit, I'm disappointed...

I'm a wannabe wheel whore but don't have the budget for nice wheels. I got the Enkei 92 since they had a slightly better offset than the gold Exim. It also seems that the Exim have a vibration issue. I'm running the 92 on the street but I've managed to put a slight bend in the inner lip of one and they vibrate at 80+mph so I didn't want to run them on the track. Got the Enkei rpf1 for track wheels since they're light and cheap. No spacer on them but the tires rub the struts under hard cornering. It wont be a problem with 165 tires instead of the 185 tires I'm running now.

Yep that was me! Thanks for the advice on making those panels.

No problem. Did you ever figure out what those wires were for?

Love the Enkei's!

Quick question, what tire size were you running in this pic?

175/55r13. I had vibration issues with them but it may have been the wheels not the tires.

Thanks it's getting there lol. I still have a bunch of things that bug me to fix. The rack is nice but it's almost the same amount of work as doing it on the ground. It's just a little easier to take measurements.

The interior panels definitely clean up the interior. The rears are a real pain to make though. Start with making a cardboard one of the passenger side. It's a lot easier to work with and your going to be doing a lot of cutting and trimming to get it right. Once you get the cardboard one to fit the way you want trace that onto your plastic and cut it out. Once you're done with the passenger side you can take your cardboard version from the passenger side and trim it to fit the drivers. My plastic came sandwiched with cardboard that was the exact same size as my plastic sheets so I used that for the template. Made it pretty easy to lay everything out.

Youwere the one looking for a b6t to compare harnesses with right? (sorry terrible at remembering names/screen names)

Pic dump since I've been lazy about updating this thread.

New wheels and tires.








Finally mounted my afr gauge.



Took it to a track day finally.





Had some rubbing issues.





First session on the second day ended up going off in the first corner when my brake assist went out. Mounting bracket ripped off the booster hardline.



Survived the weekend packed up and headed home.





Temp were starting to get hot on track. Think I found the problem.





Flushed it every other day for two weeks and got it looking better.



Haven't done much else other than try to sort the tune out.

This build is really coming along! I wish I had access to an alignment rack to set the rear camber, I don't even have a reliably flat piece of concrete to accurately set my toe lmao.

It was really cool seeing your plastic interior panels in person at madness, I think I might do that too soon-ish.

If you get one of these self levelling lasers you can do it yourself. I set boards so they are all level first, then park the car on it and adjust till they are level with the cars weight.
Peel and stick tiles are my thinnest shims, just pieces of stacked plywood and melamine is what i use for the thicker ones. I believe my LR side is like 2 inches of shims and the RF is the 1mm or whatever tile
