Just a small update. Picked up my Prodrives from the media blaster. Had them stripped down to bare metal again to have them refinished to original British black. Have all 4 center caps and sourced 4 new Prodrive valvestems for them. These will be painted, not powder coated because of the debate of re-introducing forged wheels back to high temps. Plus paint can be touched up easily and nicely. Will have them finished up soon! Pretty pumped about these because of the extremely rare size, and the fact that its perfect for the s2000. 17x9 +50 square.

Getting the last few parts in to finish this thing. And setting my appointment up with Evans Tuning tomorrow. Just have to install my fuel pump, reroute some wastegate plumbing, and put the down pipe on.
Just got the downpipe in yesterday along with a Aem series 2 ems. Also sent my wheels out for paint. Picture below because pictures are everything lol.

Got a little done today after work. Fabbed up some brackets to relocate my fuse box, installed my wideband gauge, boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, and installed a few parts I got in.
The fusebox came out perfect. I love the angle it sits at, it just flows with the body lines and engine compartment.
(don't mind the blue tape, was using it for fab)
