Holy ****, those Prodrives above the Gran Revolfes are the same ones I mentioned in my PM, but with better specs. https://www.croooober.com/en/item/cp...RODRIVE-GC-06D
I'm guessing that's Hyper Rev #69? I've got #34 in front of me right now, and #69 in the mail.

I'll keep an eye out for those spoiler bits when I'm trawling for parts.

I live Prodrive stuff - I just sold my 6 point Prodrive harnesses about a month ago. I am getting new ones custom embroidered by Abflug.

You are correct about the HyperRev. What is your max shipped price for the Prodrive wheels? I don’t mind fronting the money.

I think they came out to about $1,200CAD if I had bought them through Croooober. That's what I paid for my GC-05A, in slightly better condition than that, but I don't think it's a terrible price. But if they were just $610USD plus whatever shipping is within Japan, it'd be a no brainer. At $1,200CAD, I can live without it. Just, wistfully.

I like those, but they are a little too big in my opinion, but I am old school, so I don't really like anything bigger than 18s.

I took advice from the man formerly known as Muffinizer and bought the Super Pro rear adjustable sway bar.

Several new additions to the build:

1. Abflug billet aluminum brake master cylinder and power steering reservoir caps.
2. Do-Luck B pillar cross bar (fourth time is a charm!)
3. Revolfe SA/Abflug full titanium cat-back exhaust (mentioned by firelizard in the previous post).

Also, if anyone want both TRD swaybars, I know where you can buy them for $330 shipped. PM if interested. This is new source for rare parts.

It is actually quite interesting. It braces the B - pillar by fitting in existing holes in the area where the seatbelt pretensioners are located. The turnbuckle located in the center is used to adjust tension on the bar and handling characteristics.

Posting more pictures in a second.

Sorry my daughters toys are in the background. She is currently sitting with me watching Story Bots.

That's pretty neat. Would be awesome to get feedback on how much the tension affects the handling of the car.

Sorry for the lack of updates of late. I have made massive progress on the car. I will be posting a comprehensive update soon. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the Revolfe SA full titanium exhaust I just received.
