I found them on the honda-tech forums from a guy in Ireland actually. They were at my door step in 5 days, I was surprised! They definitely are a great wheel and very light. I saw you grabbed those, I would have killed for mine to have been bronze!

Car hasn't been touched since I dropped it off for paint and it might have been a blessing in disguise. I ran with ncrc once actually, was a well put together track day. Hope to join in some next year
No problem, I'm sure it is easier to fix now versus later. Let's definitely coordinate in 2019. I typically visit your area ~1-2x times a month to hang and aim to track every other month.

That's right. I remember seeing them for sale somewhere and they caught my eye with them being such a rare find. The white looks great and I would have been happy either way. I love the inner lip decals.

Vsm is very solid choice. I do plan on owning a vsm ctr one day, and a vsm itr is just as sexy.

That's awesome you're going with the vsm itr color.

I have a gs-r that's oem satin silver and just got an itr spoiler painted in same. I love the look of any type of silver dc2.

And those te37s are amazing!

Right? There's something about the silver on this chassis. Thanks man!

So some might have known I was also the owner of a PY R but because im in the process of buying a home I had to let her go :cry:

On to this car:
Got a few Snapchats from my painter and he's finally getting the ball rolling on heR. I'll have to stop by soon and snap some pics of the progress.

Also,

I picked up a new OEM gas tank as I came across one online and noticed they have become discontinued. The one on the shell has a big dent in it so figured I'd replace it

I never saw the PY, but I remember your work. Let's hang next weekend when I come south.

Thanks Joel! Slow and steady finishes the race haha.

It's been awhile since updates, mostly because the car is still at the paint shop and has a bit more time to go since my painter is so busy. If his work wasn't so good, I wouldn't be this patient haha. I did stop by and snap some pics of it's current state

Started to take apart my Endless calipers as I'm gonna have them re anodized in a flat red color to match my valve cover. Also got ahold of Endless USA and they were able to get me a rebuild kit for the Pistons.

Here's what finish I'm after with the calipers
