Ohhh man... I am super excited to see the rest of this. Never thought someone in the states would do an Odyvia. Don't abandon this. I love it so far. I like that note on your window too.

Hate to be posting so many similar photos, but I went to work today (Saturday) and got the car on the ground.

The wheels on the car are 5Zigen ZR+520 in 18x7.5 +37 with 235/40/18. It is actually shocking how sunk it is in the rear. Almost looks like I could fit two of them in a dually setup. I have S14 LCA's in the front so it pushes it out about 10mm extra - something that I failed to account for with the original planned specs.

Will be hosing the car down on Monday and beginning the wheel build. I need a new 6 speed clutch and throw out bearing before I can drop the engine in. Will probably be ordering an ORC variant from Japan. I'll probably start by installing the drive axles, diff, and driveshaft. Hopefully my friend can help me weld up the cut quarter panels as well.

Finally pushed it out of it's home of over a year and washed it!





My friend pulled out all of the main wiring harness.


I redrew a line for how high up needs to be cut.


And... I started the wheel build! Decided to go with 19x7.5 outers and 19x4.0 inners for 19x11.5 -46 rear. Fronts should be 18x10 -1 with a 5" lip. I'm building that with spacers in mind due to the large brakes. May go 19" fronts in the future.

19x11.5 -46 rear test fit

Tried the 18x10 -10 (ish) fronts as well... the faces don't clear the brakes AND the wheels look small to me so I'm going to be running 19's up front.

Wow, when I saw your rendering I was thinking, 'meh that's just a rendering, it's not gonna look like that'. But those wheels, damn, it's gonna be close, lol.

I'm not big on the crazy deep/widebody look generally but wow you're doing it damn right for sure. Props on doing the odyssey front end too.

I think 11.5 isn't even that wide, I just happened to need that much lip to fill up the arches. I am going to drive the car on a track, yes. It should be making around 350 whp on the first go around and then I'll be upping boost when I get a 350Z 6 speed and larger injectors.

Lowered the front last night (by putting the 2 locking collars underneath the mount).

My friend also finished cutting and tacking one side.

I bought the kit from Mastermind. I bought the headlights from Honda while on vacation in 2011.

Yesterday

Cutting the driver side

All done, tacked up



Got some new General Exclaim UHP mounted on the rears.

265/30/19 on driver side and 275/30/19 on passenger size to test out fitment.


How it sits currently, still over an inch higher than I want it to be in the back.
