Well after my wife giving an earful about it, its not going to change all that much for now. Its black (for now) and it has same wheels (for now) and the same turbo kit (for now) and a new 2.4 Spec-Ops built motor.

They've been pretty busy and my invoice with them was rather large. I just paid most of it off a few weeks ago so they were able to start ordering parts. ARP head studs were on back order until Dec. 10th and the car still needs to be painted (Took my JDM rear off the blue car to go along with fixing the other little imperfections and they are respraying it the same color).

Its been a few months and I'm now starting to get a little excited about the prospect of having a built car that was done "right".

Hopefully before the end of the year but its gonna be close. I haven't asked for an ETA because I don't want to be disappointed (LOL....I asked Spec-Ops if they could give me a christmas present early).

Pics hopefully coming soon.

We did a T4 Divided FF hot parts kit a few months back. Waiting to see his build thread and results. A shot I took of it before we shipped it

Loving the FF setups!
Has anyone had any issues in 90-100*+ weather?

Anyone done any road racing with a FF setup? Not as silly as it seems with the smaller radiator before anyone gets funny. Ralliart ran a half sized rad in their WRC program for a while.

Its not a daily driven vehicle and its garaged. I wouldn't recommend driving something like that on a rainy day
