Lugs come in tomorrow thanks to Rishie at Autornd!! I love the way the extended studs look. It was a pain in the *** replacing the wheel bearings... but they were shot anyways so it ended up being worth it

Nice build.

Imo stick with the GTX35R. I placed my order for the same turbo as yours instead of an EFR. On paper BW EFR has all the bells and whistles but I didn't want to be the guinea pig and I also suspect the advantages are mostly on paper. Btw internal WG versions of BW are not suitable for rotary applications. I'd probably give it a shot if I had an EVO or a Civic though.

GT series for RX7 are true and tested. No fitment problems and performs just as expected. You already have the GTX35R so why spend more for minimal improvement in response and that's if there are any. Money is better spent elsewhere imo.

How long does it take to change wheels with those long studs?

just about the same time it takes to change wheels with short studs, The key is to have the right tools for the job.

A little update. Got my lugs from Rishie at AutoRND on Saturday and was able to get the car on the ground. I raised the coil ride height about a half inch in the rear so I could get onto the trailer. But Check it out...
Project Kics R40 Neo Lugs

extended studs all the way around

And finally on the ground... Feels good to have the car touch the ground after damn near 6 months.

And all trailered up...

And finally in her new home..

Now that the car is into my new gorage.... I'm pretty sure my next big investment is having my Block put together. I have my rotating assembly, and irons.. so as long as mr coleman approves my irons as being buildable, we should be ready to go. Also, i'll be tackling some well needed underbody cleaning. My rear subframe is filthy... I'm contemplating just dropping the whole thing out and going at it. We'll see if my buddy evan will help me haha.

Lastly... looking for a T2 LSD unit in good condition.. lemme know if anyone has one!! thx!!

Yes you can, I'm sure if you hammer on them the writing will start to fade...but thats just like any lug. I had the same lugs before this set and I used an impact on them myself several times. But then again... I building the car with intentions of beating the living hell out of it. I take care of my things...but I'm pretty hard on them as well..

^ man... I sold them thinking I was going to get the Rays Formula lugs. But after looking into it a little more I realized that the formula lugs have an inside drive... which means you couldn't run extended studs.. SOAB. Id've kept them if I would have known hah.

That's cool mannykiller. People were telling me that you couldn't use an impact on those so I was like "Huh?" when I saw those and your long studs. That would take forever to get those wheels off if you couldn't use an impact!

yea, well even without an impact its honestly not that bad. maybe a couple extra minutes. Unless your some leman's 24hr team on a time cruch in the pitts...i don't think the extra couple min's will hurt.

It's actually a custom kit I got off a member here. Has dual Earls coolers... I love the way it fits and its routed.. It's kind of just hanging un mounted in areas in the pics above but when it's all tidy it's really nice. I'd recommend dual oil coolers for anyone who regularly tracks their car, or lives in a dry hot area, or any substantial power modifications ie single turbo's etc.

So before I tackled the suspension... I actually spend a lot of time cleaning up the engine bay. I moved a couple relays, organized the passenger side harness and ran it a little more safely (up and out of the way of the wheel). I think it had been tampered with before i bought the car because looking at my service manual it shouldn't have been mounted the way it was. Even had some rub marks from the tire....that luckily didn't get bad enough do any real damage. Heres some pics of the process.

First



OMFG... What a bloody mess right?

Thats a little better for now.

and the relocation of some relays... think I might have posted this already but oh well..
From up on the wheel well close to the strut tower
to here.... tucked away in the front passenger side area closest to the headlight and fan relays. I Figured this would give me a little more room/cleanliness for my set-up and also still have room for my v-mount set up.
