Blitz type 01R 17x8 +32 front 17x9 +35 rear with 215/45-17 all the way around. Ordered 15mm spacers for the front to bring the wheel further away from the strut. But for now here's how she sits.

SWD Pro AM Drift round 2 Finale
Just a quick video of the finale of the event, photos will be up after I go through and upload them.
wheels and 5 lug (rear for now) on
So Friday I awoke to a delivery by the trusty local ups truck, two nice big boxes we have here
so... whats in the boxes?
Ahhhh my Blitz Type 01 wheels have arrived! 17x9 +35 and 17x8 +32 are the sizes of these.
Everything loaded up and headed off to 1fifty1 Motorsports in Annapolis!
---
Went back to 1fifty1 Motorsports to get my wheels back from having tires mounted and balanced on them, just some used Bridgestones up front with Nankang NS-1 in the rear.
Also got to check out the owner of 1fifty1 Motorsports s13.5 180sx with the new custom 19" show wheels on it
From there, I went up to my buddy Jake's house to help him work on his s13 coupe which is getting a JZA70 1JZ-GTE swapped in it. When I got there, half the wiring was done by our friend Kiely who has the swap done on his R32 GTS-t.
tight fit much? to those that are planing on doing this swap, stay clear the fuck away from zerolift/ruckus racing mounts... unless you intend on not running a heater core, these mounts put the intake piping of the rear turbo RIGHT against the heater core making it impossible to keep the heater core unless you somehow relocate it...
Kiely the mad scientist at work
Oh hi PowerFC!
The car was running before sun down, now only needs Soarer R154 tri-pod looking shifter piece, driveshaft, and downpipe/crossover pipe

Sunday I finally got to work on my car, not much pics as I was too busy working on the car but the end result was 2 rear 5 lug hubs swapped on with new rotors and my wheels
now it just needs more low...

Wheel installed
Finally got the OMP Corsica installed on my car. It feels so much better than the wheel that was on it, now I can actually sit so my knees aren't so close to the dash.
also in picture is the RiverSide Atsushi Kuroi memorial sticker i got from Proper+

new part acquired
Picked up a OMP Corsica 350mm in Suede to replace the "jdm wood grain" steering wheel I had in the car. It will be much better than the wood grain wheel was when driving to the limit. Ill probably put it in the car this weekend if it isnt raining its ass off.
Still waiting for the right deal to pop up for some used 16" or 17" 5x114.3 wheels that are decently light and preferably cheap too so I can do the 5 lug swap on my car.

.bleh
Not much new in terms of the car, but I did have a hard drive on my computer go up. Thankfully didn't lose all my data on it, but it is quite frustrating. It will be replaced here in the next few days though.
There will be some new parts arriving here for the car hopefully by the end of the next week. Might actually raise the car as well.. *and fanboys on drift forums everywhere just shit a brick in furry reading this*. Reason being is I want a more functional car all around and im a bit tired of the bouncy ass ride with an inch of preload on the front springs. Also with the change in ride height i'll be looking into getting a different differential, possibly a 1.5 way clutch type as well as a different set of wheels and tires with a bit more grip.

Rolex 24 at Daytona 2010
For those whom don't know the Rolex 24 is a 24 hour endurance race with Daytona Prototypes (DP) and Gran Turismo (GT) class cars battling it out around the track for 24 hours. The Rolex 24 signifies the begining of the race season for the year.
This year was no different as teams, drivers, and spectators from all over the world gathered at Daytona International Speedway for the Rolex 24. This years Rolex started off to a very wet start as a storm passed over the speedway but that didn't stop the race from starting as the teams switched out to their pirelli wet tires for the begining of the race. The race was started on time under a full-course caution with both green and yellow flags flying as the Mazda RX8 pace car lead both DP and GT cars through the first few laps of the race. As soon as the track dried off a bit, the race resumed under full green status.
I have to say, this is one of the best races I have ever been too.
Photos from the event can be seen here on my Flickr page
