[QUOTE="laextreme5, post: 15499028, member: 183717"] Im loving these three day weekends, i actually have some time to get things done To start off this weekend i had a budy come by to hang for a bit and show off his latest project. He's also the owner of the fox thats getting turbo LS swapped as well thats popped up in here a few things. He is also the one i purchased my car from. He wanted to try the drag pack 275s and skinnies on the front to see how the fit while he was over. This was actually the first time id seen the tire off the car, looks much larger when not underneath the car lol [url=https://flic.kr/p/PC6VVX][img]https://c6.staticflickr.com/1/562/31257318933_530b8259ea_c.jpg[/img]untitled (1 of 30)[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/90393917@N02/]lawrx[/url], on Flickr [url=https://flic.kr/p/QNfCLJ][img]https://c3.staticflickr.com/1/465/32028538946_581fb65aec_c.jpg[/img]untitled (2 of 30)[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/90393917@N02/]lawrx[/url], on Flickr [url=https://flic.kr/p/PC6VBk][img]https://c6.staticflickr.com/1/740/31257317853_eca898c819_c.jpg[/img]untitled (3 of 30)[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/90393917@N02/]lawrx[/url], on Flickr [url=https://flic.kr/p/QFhyB4][img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/1/500/31949699681_eed63c63e8_c.jpg[/img]untitled (21 of 30)[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/90393917@N02/]lawrx[/url], on Flickr After the test fit we did a bit more teardown on the motor.
