Awesome. It's weird how those BC coilovers don't bolt up top like the stock setup and all the other setups. Definitly makes adjusting them easier though.

Just started on the Brides last night, have the mounting plates on the bottom and head bar bolted on now... Wrapped the rear bar in red tape just to freshen it up a bit, should look well in the car

The front bumper and sideskirts arrived today from EP Racing, very well wrapped. Looking forward to cutting them up and making it wider

Tons of good info here as I plan on tearing into my car for weight reduction right after the warranty is up in a couple months.

Quick update :

So the engine and gearbox are in, mounts all made up, work has started on the v-mount setup and the pedal box has been fitted. Next up is running the lines and fittings, piping for the intercooler and rad and a few more little touches before the fabrication portion is done...

Holy solid engine mount! You're not worried about vibration? I mean obviously its not a daily driver, so comfort is not an issue, but what about stress cracks or breaks?
