Multi-spoke FTW YES!

even that 16" red outline on black is nice but I'm just squeemish about those XXR brand wheels (have a lot more confidence in the DR series from discount tire).

Quality wise? I have no experience, i consider both to be a cheaper wheel. The DR's end up being cheaper and i like discount tire. I would have to get the XXRs from some website that i have no experience with.

That could make up my mind. As i look at the XXRs with the red outline i like the plain looking DR more and more.

I've had positive personal experience with DR wheels and saw some badly bent XXR wheels on a friend's car but have no personal experience with them so I ultimately I'm not one to judge I guess.

The brakes off.

Next is to get the motor out. I started pulling things out of the bay and removing the fenders.

I hopefully can find some time throughout the week to nibble away at this.

I ordered the bearings, seals, and gaskets for the motor and trans on Friday, so hopefully they will be here this week. Wheels, motor mounts, pulleys, and exhaust are on order. But my bushings are on back order until early May, so not sure what i will do there. I might roll on stock suspension for a little while.

I will put together a list of brake parts i will need and get those ordered next week. I will need new tie rod ends since the ones on the car are trashed. Who knows what else ill need.

I wanted to find out how bad the brakes are to see if i could reuse the calipers.

Went back out after dinner and got a few more things done.

Pulled out the ABS, brake lines and Mastery cylinder, Power steering, steering rack, hood, wipers, cowl, harness, misc brackets, and a few other items.

Here is the pile of crap that will not be going back in.
Squirlz P10 Build - Page 2 4-16-11TearDown005

Dash is next so i can get the harness through the fire wall and remove the clutch, brake booster, and throttle cables.

I see you opted for the DRAG DR discount tire option over those XXR things.... They should look good really on the car (I've always liked black wheels myself obviously).

They were cheaper, and the red outline started to annoy me on the XXRs. The red lip on these is actually engraved in the wheel.

Got a nice shiny exhaust today from VRS. 3" stainless, /w resonator, and DynomaxVT muffler. They also sent a nice cat with the flanges and all the gaskets and clamps.

Is that dynomaxVT supposed to be the muffler to get these days? I thought I saw a thread on the SR forum about it.

Its quiet, and it flows good. When low exhaust pressure is low the valve only open a little bit and the gases bounce around in the muffler more, once pressure increases the flap opens and you get the full amount flow with very little restrictions. I thought my B14 was too loud, so i wanted it extra quiet this time.

Dash is out, sound deadening is out, everything on the inside of the firewall is out, engine bay harness is out, engine bay is cleared out, and ready for clean up.

Damn where have i been? Last i saw your car was under the snowbank. I need to get a cat on my g20. I don't blame you for wanting a non loud exhaust. I need to get a cat for my g20. It is way too damn loud with no cat no resonator vrs 2.5" piping and a stromung muffler.

Looks like your working at a good rate of speed there.
