Scheduled for 23 July. I'm excited to come out and drop the G off for some needed upgrading.
Let's meet up for some before and after shots!

Interestingly enough my parts should be in when you are dropping your car off. That means I will delay you a week by borrowing your car after you drop it off!

Boo, I think you did delay me a week. Ron just asked if we can push to the next weekend...

The next phase has begun! Oh yeah, did the steering wheel thing and went crazy with a chassis mount wing (DIY threads on both coming soon)

Wow Mike, great shots, that interior is looking killer!
Do you have a link to that Mazda info?
Glad to see your G is moving ahead, I know you must be chomping at the bit.
Congrats on all you've done and from the look of all those boxes, quite a bit more ahead.

Thanks Brad. No info on the Mazda, I'm sure I could get some. It's a pretty sick drift build. Stoked for the future of The Black Pearl!

That wing is HUGE. Do you notice a big difference?

Once it gets up to speed you can really feel the downforce. I'll have to play with the angle of the wing to get it perfect though.
