What's up Jamie? Funny you ask because I will actually be down there Thursday night. I am flying down Thursday after work and then riding back with Heather Sunday, because she is already down there. Unfortunately we won't have room in her car for the seats and whatnot but I think my dad and little brother will be down there in the next month and Ill have him grab them then. We should try and grab dinner or something while I'm down there this weekend!

Thanks man! Very soon! I still need an alignment then meeting up with Petey @ Krazy House Customs one night to jump on the dyno and finish the tune and finally get some dyno results for everyone, then track!! Hopefully Ill get all that done in the next 2 weeks...
I'm bet it feels great to drive your car again! I can't wait to get mine back on the road!! What's your complete mod list? Did you do the 5 speed swap?

It feels awesome to drive it again! Just checked out your build thread...looks like you don't have that much left to do...Good luck with the rest man! Thanks for reminding me, I need to post and updated mod list later...Unfortunately no 5 spd yet...I am going to do a built 5 spd & non-acd t-case this winter...

I got the rims through Tirerack and they only had 8.5s in black 9+ were silver only. 17x9s would have been nice but then I may have to roll fenders or change tires...I really don't like stretching tires...255 on a 9 inch wide rim is too small for me...265 tires have limited choices...Plus I dropped another 4 lbs rotational weight per corner going with this rim & tire setup...
Thanks man! I haven't seen any updates in your build thread lately?!

haha very true...I had my old BBSs powder coated gloss black and it came out great...I didn't want anymore down time on my car and I was in a bit of a time crunch anyway...Also since moving back up to NJ last year I haven't found a local powder coater that I would have trusted with my new wheels...
