I had to renew my tabs, but I guess I needed new plates. I thought about giving maybe one away to a svtp member. But does anyone even collect license plates? Is it even legal to give them out?

Hopefully soon I can get some cars out!
If you have a extra I'd like one for my boys room.

You ever consider what you’re gonna do when he’s older and comes home and introduces you to his……LS :-O

He's bringing a different supermodel home every night right now!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:



Seriously tho, he just turned 5 and so I'm going to enjoy this quick moment with him.

I gotta ask with everyone posting pictures of their cars that are lower than mine (especially coilovers) Eibach Pro kit with isos, 18x11 ccw with the correct offset and 305/35/18 nitto. Tokico D spec shocks. On the swooping long bumps. The tire is eating away the bumper circle yellow!! Passenger side is normal any ideas? The wheel appears centered up. Never mess with irs, is there a way to center the housing up? (Like using uca on a sra car)

Clamps from from Amazon over night.

Hit the gym at 4 am this morning, came home and polished the new Bassani and got it installed. Sounds absolutely great. It’s nice and mellow and I can hear the blower and myself think. Don’t miss the stingers a single bit.

Keeping the baffles in the tips for now.

Glad you got the clamps. Looking good. How did you polish it so quick?

315/30/r18 should fix that for you.

I was running the same thing basically when I bought my car. 305/35/18 on Tokiko D specs and HR street springs, and was getting rub. Even with rolled fenders. I went to a 295 tire and swapped the Tokikos out with Bilsteins from MM. So far it’s a world of difference. MM told me the D specs were made for drag racing and are super old. I’d bet with a shock change you’d alleviate a lot of that.

FWIW when I pulled all 4 of my Tokikos I could compress them VERY easily with two hands. And the adjustment up top didn’t seem to do anything at all.

Thank you! I'll give those shocks a try, they were on the car when I bought and probably don't have 8k miles on them but I'll swap them out. I've tried tightening them up and felt like nothing changed.

I was rubbing the rear fenders as well as
bottoming out the longtubes on serious bumps in the road. I did the Maximim Motorsports Bilstein coilovers up front (275# springs) and kept my rear H&R springs, only swapping the rear shocks to Bilstein. I did have the rear shocks grooved prior to shipping in case I ever do rear coilovers. If you get the rear shocks grooved, make sure they send you bushings!!! They did not send mine, assuming it was for a coilover kit now, and I had to buy and overnight them because they weren’t included.

I’m not advertising for them. Their customer service prior to ordering was very very good. After ordering I was less than impressed. Shipping time was double what was quoted and again, I was missing parts needed for install that they did not offer to assist with or anything.

Yea I was looking at those. In my current mindset I don't have the desire to swap to coilovers but it is a nice option to go ahead to go that route just in case. So, we'll see what happens

Now THAT'S a great boy's bedroom. I love the chest of drawers. That wall looks like the wall in a man cave or garage office. Awesome.
Thanks. Yea, both Craftsman toolboxes have come in handy and the day he grows out of them. He'll have two toolboxes of his own one day.
