    lol a 225/50 is the same height as 205/55. i need ground clearance because 3" exhaust has no tunnel to hide in.

    im on s-techs and scrape with the mid-pipe tucked as close as it can go. we both know for a fact there is about 2-3 ft of pipe that doesn't have a tunnel.

    maybe its a cali thing. the speed bumps means i can't park any closer.

    got a cc stg 4 clutch, just broke it in last night, oem clutch was letting go on 7psi with the tires.
    trying to fab a catch can setup.
    gunna install my fuel pump and start piecing together a return style setup.
    might pick up an a1 head here soon to swap out the k24a2 casting with.
    along with some ARP hardware.
    sending out my spare manifold and tb to maxbore, then my rbc and another tb.
    got type s brake conversion, powdercoated and rebuilt, just waiting on pads and rotors.

    goal is to finish this by end of summer.

    so hit a deer and a change of plans. out the pocket $3000 so far on repairs. could have been a new manifold and turbo and fuel system by now. haven't got anything done yet, this happened a week after my last update. (i did cop a jdm bumper though...)

    Lots of new plans, too much to list, it involves a precision 5758, new fuel system, a new(er) built head, manifolds, intercooler, and possible forged rods and pistons. found out my tsx block has a forged crank already. maybe z3 pump or erl modified, maybe not.

    might pick up another tranny for backup too. trying to source k24 arp pieces without using my connections. i think i'll have to on this one.

    the finer details are still a bit blurry, if anything im pretty dead set on the new manifold and turbo. the fuel has to come with it. building the bottom will cost me about as much as the fuel system, whether i want to actually take the bottom end apart is beyond me and dependent on what my situation is at the time. I have a semi sponsor kinda thing going on so i'm getting a pretty good deal on it all for the most part. might end up with no bottom end parts beyond headstuds, a fully sleeved bottom end, or something in between. who knows. of course i'll keep this updated if/when anything happens. its going slow right now.

    Wow, didn't see that coming. Then again, no one does. I'm glad you have your head up high and plan to have a fun build in store, I hope all goes well! Keep us updated man
