I've seen the esm wheels but I think that they are about $100 more a set. These are the Sportmaxx xxr-002. They are a dual bolt pattern that looks like crap but I'm on a budget for this car. The ESM wheels only have one bolt pattern which looks nicer but not $100 nicer. I believe both wheels are made in China/taiwan.

Do you know where I could buy engine mounts for this swap? I have a blown rotary hp unk and a 1600 shell crying out for it!
Thanks.

I have never seen another 2002/13b. Mine included custom motor mounts, boxing and sectioning the frame rail for the turbo, enlarging the trans tunnel for the turbo 2 trans and many other custom tasks, Tri-point engineering did the conversion and the built motor almost 9 years ago.
This conversion is not for everybody but for me the end product is worth every bit of my continued efforts and time.
I love the rotary but if I was going to start another 2002 project today it would be plug-in electric, like a Tesla.
Why does it look so much higher than in your signature?
Love the car though. And the plate
Gene1219: love the pic, what free HDR software are you using?
I think that it has to do with the shadows and it being parked in the grass. I really need some lowering springs.
here's the link http://www.hdrsoft.com/
It's really easy to use. I may cough up the money to get a full copy (and eliminate the water mark)

The first one like that looks like something from the discovery channel life after people or whatever that doomsday show is called

The color is Titanium Grey Metallic, a E60 color. I love it, and it's the thing I get the most complements about on my car!
LOL yea, I guess you could call it that! Between the Tii, the 76, and the "moon-unit" My hands are pretty full!
I get to replace alternator bushings and strut mounts, and possibly cut the lowering springs in the front to lower it a bit more.

I use a tripod, but my images still come up a little off because my camera doesn't bracket the shots so I have to manually input them in (which no matter how soft I touch the camera I think it still moves ever so slightly)
You can also try out essentials HDR program (there a free trial version)
That will pull of the same effects but from one image.
the best set up would be Tripod, camera that has a bracketing feature, and either set the timer or remot shutter release.
Post up pics pics of your results
^ Bad ass pic.
very awesome picture
