cool story? i got plenty of them.....

That's a good tip. I will have to remember that. Chu actually has some good ideas every once in a while.

I spent a couple weeks at Lejune. The Marines made me stay in some ****ing barracks while i was there in training, even though i had my own authorization for hotel and stuff like i always do. Talk about hell. Cooped up in open bay barracks with half of them Marines, and a shower with no hot water. FML, that TDY was horrible.

I truely began hating Marines after that trip. Luckily, i have since met some really awesome Marines who offset that trip.

get a set of 20mm spacers for front
get a set of 5mm spacers for rear
have chu *****slap your rear fenders with a quick roll of the lip
grind the casting mark off the rear LCA where the tire will rub under deflection
install said wheels and tires
get dominated at the autox by PCD Evo's on street tires
Done!
Sweet. thanks for breaking it down ont eh spacers. I did a lot of reading, but even with RFP1's, i was hearing everything from 5mm up to 25mm spacers needed in front. I was pretty much set on ordering 15mm, but if you say it takes a 20mm, i'll do that. Just makes me worry about the fender.

For the rear, I am expecting no spacer needed. I ordered R/TErnie's trailing arms, that way i didn't need to worry about squirm hitting the arm, and less work needed on rear quarterpanel. Probably just a roll I hope.

And yeah, I'm nto excited to get beat in autox by people multiple classes below me. Whatever, it'll still be fun like my first couple autox's were.

I burn about 6-7 gallons of 93 in 25min on 20psi. If he runs as hard as us he'll burn more cause he is making a lot more power (25psi) and burning 33% more fuel. So figuring 9-10 gallons a session x 4 sessions per day x 2 days = 72-80 gallons of fuel. It'll be close...

No, I was trying to answer the question but like 20 people answered in less than a second because this thread moves too fast and my answer was redundant. I just killed it.

You coming out Saturday to hardpark?
