    Got some photos of the wheels on the car



    We had new door skins fab'd as well. We had the door CMM'd for a perfect fit then laser cut some aluminum panels. We could easily remake these in any material if we ever need to!
    Just now need to figure out some paint.

    We made the same choice on the wheels for our track car at the shop:

    We've got a plastic front bumper for it that just got done being painted.
    Car looks good on the track!

    Nice build.

    let me know if you don't use that D/S hood.

    I am looking for one.

    I think the e46 wheels look great!

    do you know how much the e46 wheel weighs?

    Core motor looks clean! Good luck with the build, and I hope you enjoy every assembly lube covered minute of it!

    Stage 2 is now underway!.
    Stage 1 was to build the car and get it running.
    Stage 2 is to make it more fun. :)

    Our new 2.3L motor showed up last week and we finally got it unpacked.
    This stage will involve the 2.5L EVO upgrade, some Schrick cams, head work, LWFW, clutch, etc. Our goal is about 240hp from the stock 190hp.

    It'll be going throughout the remainder of this year, so it won't happen nearly as quick as the last buildup.

    Much respect, Mike. Very well done.



    This pic clearly shows the inspiration for Nissan's early 90's Sentra. On second thought, inspiration or straight rip-off?

    Magnaflow does have a 94000 series cat. I don't think you need a 43000 series converter because your car isn't OBD-II.

    FWIW I don't know why you want to run catless, especially in CA. Magnaflow has a fairly newer line of metal core 300 cell cats that are proven to flow well, and handle a wide variety of engine tunes. The best part is, they're cheap at around $120 each.
