At 7.5", they're too narrow. I need at 8.5" as the second set will be my autocross wheels.

Good looking out, though.

I wish I would have just paid you to drop everything the first time. That being said, I could probably do it in half the time next time now that I know what I'm doing.
I could have cut probably 4 hours out of the motor/tranny pull if I would have known I needed the tool to take the input shaft out (welded a bolt on a dent puller/slide hammer) and actually knew how to pop the TOB (took me 2 hours looking through that damn inspection hole

In the end, I'm glad I did everything myself. There were times when I questioned it though

Orlando is too flat-- if I were to do a national meet, I'd prefer it to be similar to zdayz (held at Fontana Village & centered around Tail of the Dragon).

I've not. Im not writing it off or trying to disparage it, I just like that Zdayz is centered around driving all these awesome roads).

We hit 300 registrants for this year's event this morning. It'll be my first one in the Evo (went previously in my Z... obviously) & I'm looking forward to driving the mountain roads.

I finally went to No Problem Raceway. First time ever on the strip, I am kind of disappointed with my performance more than the car. The car performed flawlessly. I kept having a sloppy 1-2 shift and missing it sometimes.

My fastest was a 12.806@108.89, 60ft 1.836. Full weight with a half tank of gas. I dropped my passenger seat and spare and kept messing something up during the runs. I'm sure even with a full weight, if I work on my driver mod I can get a 12.7.

I'm also in need of tires soon. Currently have 265/35 cheap tires on. I'm debating if I should go back to stock size tire. Currently I'm lowered without a fender roll with no alignment done after. It's tearing up the tires but once I get an alignment I'll rub. I haven't located anyone with a tool to get the roll done. Opinions on stock size tire or go with 265/35 again? Rim specs are 18x9.5 +20. Would a stock size tire help with my 60ft?

How was the weather? Muggy weather can really mess you over.
