Thanks man! I'm honestly surprised how good they look on the car. These are the perfect track wheels!!

Well I was going to wait until the alignment to finish adjusting the suspension, but I decided to do it earlier today. Used a measuring tape on all 4 corners to get everything level. I also raised the front end up a little bit so the car sits more even

Did some small things on the car here and there and I was also able to wash it for the first time since it's been in my possession! The license plates will be here this morning so this is the first day I actually get to drive the car on the road. The feelings of excitement, dedication, and hard work are filling my head. I am so happy I'm back and I know you guys are too! There are some GREAT things to come in the future for this car...

Here are some teasers of the shiny paint after the wash until I can get some good pics using my SLR

love it Chris, glad you finally got it sat on the ground! Cant wait to see the look you go for as your previous one was so simple and effective.

for the Alpine deck too, you can never go wrong there.

Keep up the fine work

I've been busy this whole weekend, but the wheels came in Saturday. I'm going to get the tires put on sometime today!



Surprised to see the x8 fronts there, trying to clear BBK?
Definitely surprised on this also, you ran some agressive wheels last time.

Looks good though

Are you trying to say SBC?

Yeah this time around, I'm really concerned about making the car functional for auto-x and possibly some track time coming up here...I'm not too interested in super wide wheels and such.

Car looks super good Chris. I often wish I'd have left mine in that state.

^It's funny you say that. I'm really trying with my current car to just keep it simple and not go overboard in any one area. I find the more I tinker the less I end up actually driving my car.
