You guys are quiet here today.

You all must have gone to the race, and it was an incredible race on Speed channel.

The track is very well laid, and the surface proved to not eat tires.

In fact they could run medium or hard on 88 deg f track and barely get the heat up in them.

Also, almost no car damaged.

Texas does it again!

Damn look at all the cellphones in that pic. Was anyone trying to use an iPad as a camera there? A favorite thing of mine is to look for iPad photographers and videographers.

Bad morning. I found the one wet spot of pavemwnt on 1604 just after exiting a turnabout at a decent speed. The 8 decided to try out for tony hawks pro skater '12. In other news, i need an alignment, and two plastic clips for attaching side skirts. It could have been a LOT worse. Wheels are fine, and a little rash on the front bumper/lip. Popped the car up on jackstands as soon as i got home. No damage to anything aside from more angled road rash. Im going to bed, and never turning my DSC off again unless Im going around cones. FML.

This weekend I will be doing my battery relocation and possibly brakes if I get to it.

I think so, they are about the same spec as mine (with spacers) so he should be okay with a roll. Once his coilovers are on and goes lower it will need some clearance. I finally got my fronts squared away, not more rubbing for the most part. I may raise it slightly. Maybe.

I plan on doing my battery relocation so feel free to stop on by. If I get ambitious I may do my keyless entry systems as well.

We can knock that out, we don't have far to go.

Some good stuff here, silver is a good guy. I don't have the cash but the coilovers could be handy if someone wanted to combine them with something else. They are Eibachs truly IIRC so they should be able to be revalved.

I really don't see 9.5 +28 with 275s and stechs looking good.
Especially not +23. What is the offset actually?
