How much would you say your dream is worth.. to me.. < 60K isn't that bad.
You sir.. make me more comfortable with taking my time and building my car regardless of the money involved. Well worth it at the end of the day.
To add to this.. I guess a philosophy of mine is that the purpose of working is to make money.. If you don't spend that money to buy the things you enjoy you are truly wasting your life for someone else's dreams.. (Probably the CEO of the business you work for) Your life day to day isn't guaranteed.. don't live with regrets.. If this is truly what you want, which to me was building this car to my specs, then don't let the hard work (raising funds) stop you.

I did, and you are correct they where on your car before. I actually get asked about the wheels and I feel like an idiot because I don't even know the dimensions, or offset or model of the wheels.. if you could provide me with that information it would be appreciated. (What do they cost brand new.. and what's custom about them in comparison to any other ccw wheel).

To answer your questions, Yes.. I have a few interior shots.. 2 of them are in this thread.. but I have more that I can link you too.. thanks again for the compliments on the car.

Thanks, however I don't want to mislead you.. 700whp on my car is not very common at all.. Most people are pushing around 500-600. Why my car is doing 700whp is a combination of never buying cheap inferior parts and researching and listening to people that have been around a long time that know engine very well. I'm telling you this because I don't want you to be disappointed if you don't make this power in the future. Good luck on your build.

They are ccw LM20's 18x9.5 +25, forged, annodized black outers and centers, with polished ARP hardware, shot peened center caps, . High quality wheels! They are a bit heavy however, when comparing to Volk mono blocks. But they are seriously pimp 3 piece wheels. I damaged one front and one rear during a curb incident and had those 2 sent back to ccw where they essentially put on new centers and outers.

WOW 695WHP out of a FP BLACK! Crazy to think that a Stock style framed turbo can produce so much Sleeper is so true with most Evo's. A lot of people really do underestimate them and yours is no exceptions of this. Way to keep it looking simple

Thanks,
Dallin

Just have to say amazing build and that I wish I was still in St. Charles to see it in person. By chance did you ever have it across the street from Rush at Kometmotorsport?
