I'd go for at least 17" or 18" on the rear.....12" seem a bit small to me!!!:coolgleamA:

Been cracking on with further work on my last day for a while and got the rare illuminated sills up and running :)

I have managed to pick up a pair of Bomex mirrors to add to the Bomex theme on the car. I will be getting them modified as I'm not happy with the rough look that they produced them with so will be getting them all smoothed.

Rare? I love subtle things like this and the way it can make such a big difference to the look of the overall car (one of my favourite features on my later spec GTR was the Ganador's I sourced from Japan)

A little update as I managed to get a few days in the car.

Replaced the alarm and it's working just got to sure in the intellistart.

Picked up some new boost pipes which the colour coding suggests they are HKS ones :)

Japspeed decats went on

Redline MT-90 oil change on the gbox

Millers fully syn has arrived for the engine oil change

Engine fired up a little lumpy and troublesome to start with but a few tweaks and got her running pretty much spot on.

Got an oil leak though from the turbo returns as the ones that were fitted were not perfect for the HKS tubs looks like I'll be ordering from the US this week

Oh and I took a few pics of the engine build I've got for the track that I'm looking at selling as I've had another plan ;) here is a taster

I spent far too much time out on the bike as the weather was ok :)

Got a couple more days at the end of this week but doubt my bits will be in from the US so won't be able to start the engine and get her rolling :(

I am on the hunt now for wheels as I need 12" rears and 9s ideally front but I may be able to make things fit over that so if anyone hears of any I'm interested :)

Finally got the intellistart wired in yesterday and it works on a quick test :)

Waiting on expedited oil pipes from the US now for my turbo oil returns.

Today I will be cracking on with installing the push start button and then the rest of the interior :)

There is finally an end in sight as soon as that drivers seat goes in.
