This car is testing me I swear..

More problems apparent today, the Rota Grids touch the calipers, so I have ground these down but I think they are touching ever so slightly, I don't want to grind anymore off of the carriers - what options do I have? Are there any bolt on calipers that may give me more clearance? Ie NSX Calipers? I have been tempted by these for a while so may as well see if they clear. Does anybody have one laying around so I may trial fit one? Beer money waiting for your service!

The car judders when turning left due to the drive shafts, one being so far in and the other so far out, I think the lobes are hitting the end of the CV joint when turning. I had to raise the suspension because of this also so now its got the 4x4 look.. The best bit though is the car is chucking water out the exhaust and this has cemented the idea the head gasket has gone. This means new engine mounts, cut the cross member further & may as well do the head gasket and valve clearences whilst I am it..

Good news is that the shifter feels absolutely amazing, very effortless and precise, worth the upgrade just there!

Right bitches, more pics:

I don't think I can get away with that, the alloys/tyres stick out too much as it is. I think i'll grind down the carriers some more and then repaint them. Turns out the NSX calipers use the same carrier so fitting a set won't make a difference!

Feels awesome to finally drive it again, ive got used to the Astra Van I was driving & I had forgotten how low these cars actually sit! The supercharger wine is EPIC!!

Also got my insurance sorted with Prestige this morning, they were true in their word and I got a good deal with the insurance! Thanks guys!

NSX carriers are actually bigger, same as the Legend. The Prelude ones are the smallest so you need to think of something to do with the wheels.
