Yeah I'm curious what you're going to be doing on the transmission front. I think I remember the Amuse car as running an HKS sequential R34 tranny.....

Still just for bringing the kit over (although seeing people hack up that rear end because they can't buy the exhaust without shipping the car over and back makes me very )

Unfortuanately There probably wont be pics of the kit on my car first. As I had the Dreaded #4 cylinder failure. So my car is down. I've been ordering new internals left and right. Going boost. And I'll have a few suprises regarding the exhaust. I'm not gonna be hacking out the rear. I'll post up pics of the kit being painted/installed etc.. But it wont be the usual high quality pics etc..

i am interested in that tranny. i will have to look into that also. i am glad you are getting your kit soon. Sorry to hear about the number 4 problem though. I have been the last 2.5 years without my car going turbo. I hope you dont have any of the problems i did. I can also sell you some crower rods if you would like. They only have 600 miles on them.

Thanks for the offer nick. I've already bought my bottom end internals. I went with the 2.2 Liter Toda Stroker Kit. I'm still trying to decide on what sleeves to go with though. And I still need to upgrade my valvetrain. I'm thinking of shipping my motor to AEBS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know my car is gonna be down for awhile. Since alot of my parts, I'm ordering from japan.

Wow, this thread is a ce28n love fest! With 700hp, you'll have traction probs, so I'd run the widest I can find. You won't find much wide tire offerings in 16" unless you're willing to go with race tires (and even then, they won't be that wide). 17" goes up to 315 wide, perfect for a 11.5" - 12" wheel. 18" tires are available to 335 wide, but by my calcs, it'll be difficult to fit 335 even w/ the widebody. 12" may be difficult too unless you plan to run more camber. 11.5" w/ 315 should fit perfect. I'd personally go w/ a Kinesis or Fikse wheel, or a Work S1 3pc...all available in very wide versions. Looking forward to seeing pics of your car w/ the kit and wheels.
