Figure out what parts you will have up for sale yet?

I can't wait either! The KWs are amazing. Worth every penny! Amazing street feel and exceptional track handling! I don't think i'll have any parts left over honestly. Once i'm done i'll see what's left.

That would be cheating since you already know.

Greg makes some sick stuff. Each CNC head is profiled for it's specific application. I talked to Greg for a while about this one. Can't wait to see the results.

As for fitting the wheels...18x10 fits fine with the proper offset. It'll be pretty sick.

Stock ECU is staying for the long haul...well atleast till it starts to become a bottle neck.

I never knew they were profiled like that. I thought they would all be perfectly identical being as though they ran through a CNC program..
So you have the CCW's then?
Also, you can fit the 10 but can you fit the big boy tire or not, thats the question..I better not see any 265 gibberish on there

Goddabob · 01-26-2009, 09:45 PM

Awesome build, can't wait to see the wheel pics.

turbosmac02 · 01-26-2009, 09:54 PM

Yep. They're the only company that doesn't necessarily send you an out of the box CNC'd head. They do have a "canned" version that will work for most setups but Greg is always willing to work with you. Talk to him about your setup and he'll tweak the program to benefit you.

I did in fact have CCW build (currently building) me a set of wheels. 18x10 CCW Classic to be exact. Polished lip with titanium centers. I most likely will run 265s for the street. BUT, you will be happy to hear that i'll be running some 275-40-17s MT DRs on the Zigens.

OMG Chris I love the wheels. I hope to see it again soon and you better be at the Nock meet in August.

EKLIPZGSX97 · 01-26-2009, 10:52 PM

They're close to that...not black though. Centers are a flat gunmetal color (CCW calls it titanium). Lips will be polished as in the pic.

Here is a pic of the exact color. Don't mind the smurf Miata.

EKLIPZGSX97 · 01-26-2009, 11:24 PM

Sweet, so your car will finally have some contrast! Can't wait for that to happen

Come on! It has contrast! Gloss black/ Flat Black!

Yes, it's overdue. It will have plenty of contrast. If Dave had his way it'd have Classics all polished. Bling.

peteyturbo · 01-27-2009, 12:49 AM

**Got Insulin?** · 01-27-2009, 01:17 AM

11secdsm · 01-27-2009, 08:36 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys. Petey, you can definitely borrow the DRs for a day. I can't wait for spring to get here already. The track is calling our names!

Grkdc5 · 01-27-2009, 12:10 PM

11secdsm · 01-27-2009, 06:16 PM

My ceramic parts came back from Bonehead today. Huge thanks to Chuck for the amazing work. I'm SO glad I picked this color...it's amazing in person. Pics definitely don't do it justice. **Sorry for the crappy pics...only had the 10 year old shop camera available**

Tungsten Grey ceramic
