Good grief Mike... this is turning into another one of those perpetual garage queen mod-fest cars, as in GoldBird and FrankenCougie.
Must be something in the water down there.

Looks GREAT Mike! It would be BA if you got Brembo's, it would make your car stand out from the rest of us, haha. Can you get other pads to use with the Brembo Calipers? Also, does that mean you have to swap everything to the 99 Cobra stuff, or does Brembo make stuff for the Mark?
Check out these rims....they were on a 06 350Z Pearl White and man...they looked soooooo nice! They are 20's and the rear tires were 285's! The polished lip in the rear was 6" wide too :err-what?:
Me wanty badly! *drool* So bad I want to sell my car to buy the rims, haha. :embarrassed:

Update - While the Mark is waiting it's turn to have the IC tubing made, Aric is going to trailer the Mark over to my friend, Mr. Todd Fisher at Grand Mufflers to have the headers and new cats joined to the rest of the exhaust.
I am also going to see if Todd and Brian can change the tips back to the stock tips I purchased on ebay a while ago. What I would like to have done is to have a 2 1/2 SS pipe centered in the tip to the muffler instead of the offset the stock one has. It should then align with the bumper cutouts and the Magnaflows without further mods I hope.
The word for Joey is next week if he can finish a outlaw car project, so we might be in roller countdown mode within the next week or two
I sat down with Aric this evening and we are now down to 2 rims that I like alot. He is going to take all the measurements, and see which one is best for the 4 piston Brembos that are going in the car. That is, if there are no fitment issues with them.
Here is a picture of one of the rims - the Forgeline rim. It is a 3 piece 18" custom made rim to Aric's spec's. The center is going to be Platinum Silver, and the lip is either going to be polished or chrome.

That is true, JP. My Mark will never see as much track time as the Blue Flame, but that is where it counts the most. What it is... is, what it is...
I still feel that the numbers will be there, as Aric has already "built in" more than enough with the parts to handle way more than what the stock bottom end can handle. He calls it - planning ahead for future mods

I like those wheels, Mike. Are they relatively lightweight?
Thanks, Serg. They are 200mph+ racing rims made of forged 6061 T6 centers, 6061 T6 spun rim halves, [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] stainless steel[/FONT] aircraft-grade fasteners, and feature a painted or chromed finish with a polished or chromed lip.
For about an extra $100 per wheel, I can also use Titanium fasteners, and Jet nuts - they are a Military–Spec Aerospace lightweight nuts made from alloy-steel hardened to 160,000 psi strength specs and then cadmium plated and moly coated.
Combined, these fasteners can reduce weight by up to 2 pounds per wheel.
