Which bump steer kit is that?

Given the Von's shocks, I'm betting it's Elephant Racing... ?


That is correct. Elephant racing.

Oh, that's the racing kit. That's why I did not recognize it.

also correct. I want to AutoX and there are a couple of tracks around that I want to take it on. So upgraded the suspension.

How much did you raise the spindles?

I'm not a builder or mechanic in any sense. I can change oil, light bulbs and brake pads, so this is said from a place of little understanding. Reading through some of your builds with skill some of you have makes me jealous. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Werks11 originally said they were being raised 1 inch, but ride height is what they are working on right now, with my wheels and suspension on it. Somewhere in there, they will measure and adjust for travel of the wheel, which is (I'm assuming) where they determine how far to raise the spindles.

No updates in the last few months. Tried to get the Momo Heritage wheels, and they said the wait would be over a year to get them. So those are out.

Spent a lot of time on the google machine trying to find a staggered 17x8 and 17x9 with 5x130 lug pattern and the correct offset.

Ended up ordering custom wheels from American Racing VF519.

This is holding up all (visual) progress as they cannot finish pulling the fenders until the wheels are on it.

Engine is in process, and hoping to have some pics with better updates soon.

Finally got wheels and tires. (18 weeks) With the fitment of the new stuff, a 911 front end will be happening. That fender has already been pulled about an inch and a half.
Still have a ways to go. Last cuts and time for final metal work.

Finally have progress. If you want it done quickly/in a reasonable amount of time, I don't recommend custom everything. That has seriously delayed progress trying to make my asks reality.

We finally got the custom wheels delivered and installed. That caused us to have to re-think/increase all of the fender stretching that had been done. Both of the rears are now sized and have the rough metal work done. Both rears actuate fully without rub or restriction. The car is now 10.5 inches wider (at the rear wheels) than before.

Looking good! From what vehicle did they get the fenders to graft to the rear of the car?

Looks like cut and paste. Custom... GT fenders would have less of a rocket bunny look. However its your car. I like the very end of rear fender work.

Yes, it is cut and paste, fully custom. I didn't want a GT clone. Still working on the tail end as those 10 inches they added to the rear doesn't fit seamlessly to the existing tail of the car.

Spent some time using AI trying to figure out what I liked and didnt like for color scheme.

I had been using the 914visualizer but there are limitations and I needed more angles and options that just arent reasonable in a free tool (that works awesome for 90% btw). Also no way to visualize custom pulled fenders and my one off wheel choice.

End results from a number of iterations.
