Well Chu, no need for the spacers. I went to pick up the wheels and tires, and they had hoosier R6's mounted on them . Won't have them until next week now.

On the bright side, we'll all be playing on street tires Sunday!

I'm a huge fan of all jmf stuff and I'm friends with Justin that works there. All I'm saying is some of there prices on labor and certain parts are ridiculous. I called asking them to make me a custom cat back to bolt up to the test pipe back and I would provide the muffler, flanges, resonator and gaskets and they said sure no problem, it will be around 1200 dollars. No thanks.

I'm liking the sound of this!

So sorry to hear about your road race tires... maybe you should put them to good use!

Can't wait till sunday so I can push it and see how it really feels!

MR Bilsteins/GTWorx w/Tein camber plates and solid rear pillowballs. Same set-up as Jeffroevoix.
how did you like your first experience there?

the front camber sounds like mine when he flipped the camber bolt. you can't dial in more in the rear? is it just not possible without other parts.

did you do the rck and lca bushings? tighter is one of the characteristics i describe it as feeling.

it will be interesting to see how you run on sunday with a brand new setup

Yeah, I did the rck and psrs while I was at it. As far as the camber, the rear pillowballs are actually taller, so the issue is you can't get as much camber out of it then.. Had I realized that, I probably wouldnt have done them. Oh well, I'm not going to change anything now, maybe next year.
I think the guys there are great, as nice as can be.. Sitting around there all day kinda sucks, but what are you gonna do.. I went to Molly Meguirers for lunch, had a guinness and some grub. That place was packed, bagpipes, Irish dancing... Would have been more fun if I wasn't by myself.

okay so the garage is officially mine. It's a really old building. used to be a barn. There's stucco on the outside. Two garage doors and two floors. Ceilings aren't high but there's plenty of light. It's built more like a workshop than a garage but still plenty room to get the job done.
