Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Chris Harris comes up with another winner video, really enjoy all his stuff (as I said previously)
He is in NY with Camaro and Stang, takes them to Monticello so I thought I had to post this up

Dunlop star specs: The dunlops have about 4/32-6/32 of tread left depending where on the tire it's measured - I can get a more exact measurement if you're interested. That should be about half their life, maybe a bit under half, not exactly sure. Won the DC prosolo and recently the Devens national tour on these tires so they do include the magic pixie dust from that. Still feel awesome. They go for $800 new, I'm thinking $250 for the set?
Hankook RS3s: These have about 6/32 left all across the tire. That's 3/4 of the tread left. Pretty much I just did the first few slow runs and got them scuffed in. We'll say $400 for the set.
Can deliver either to an autocross near you or you can pick them up from phoenixville (house) or norristown/audubon (work) or malvern (tory's work).
If you want the star specs let me know a week ahead of time so I can get replacement tires ordered, for those I'm only going to replace them if I can get a decent price.

not a bad deal...
you sure you need to pull fenders to fit a 255? dan has them on his rear with stock suspension and very little camber and he only had to cut a little of the rear lip off.

I just bought a set of Continental Grand Am scuffs so I _really_ don't need any more tires right now.
From what I have been told by Apex (my wheel manufacturer), Harrison Motorsports, VAC, and a few others, the 255 need to have more camber (adjustable arms) and/or pulled and rolled fenders especially when used with coilovers...my 245s maybe have a couple mm of clearance so the 255 would definitely need some massaging to fit.

I don't have a boost leak anymore, hopefully Pete fixes his issue. I did 2 WOT pulls from 4th gear 2500rpm to 5th redline up a steep grade hill on the highway and no leaks or popping of piping. I'm actually only hitting 22.5psi and wastegate tapering to 20 psi between 5k to 7krpm. So 320whp dyno run was actually at 20psi up top. Still have 12.4-12.5 AFRs though after reinitializing the wbo2 in open air, no knock.
Excited new ACD pump is here but not installed and EBCS and Coilovers are next.
Before I list anyone want to buy a Injen LICP(perfect for stock IC), Hallman Pro RX MBC(Black), Greddy Ti Burnt tip can(cut from my turbo back) and/or Greddy Downpipe(from my turbo back) to fund my coilover purchase??

I'm a lil' bit of an audiophile and will say no to ceiling surrounds too, when I was contracted by BestBuy 11 years ago I did home surround sounds in the Lehigh Valley Area and that was the biggest mistake and my biggest PITA to fish thru finished 10 ft ceilings for BS ceiling mounts sold to customers. Generally you want the speakers around the middle of room 3-4 ft off ground(depending on ceiling height), definately not ear height. And you want them pointed to your your general listening area. I did this with my first personal "affordable" Yamaha setup at home. Though I don't know how things are done today with any advances in tech.
looks like i'm going to have to make some custom IC pipes for the new turbo. that' means i'll have to do some bead rolling. who wants in for a community bead roller?
