Sweet, Didn't you have problems with tire fitment last year? what is the plan this year?
I heard fancy schmancy rivets are in style now.

Just some minor adjustments on tire fitting last year....kinda like the ones you're gonna have
At any rate, I'm going with narrower front tiars/wheels this year and take some camber out. I've learned about scrub radius enuff to say "I'm agin' it".....BUT, everyone should try it The spindles are to get more suspension travel mostly.
I'm working on making the car easier to drive.

I'd luv to get an LSD in the sumbitch....IF THEY EVER MAKE SOME. As it is, I'll prolly just do the gear changes & put the trans back in.

Ayup, rivets is gud.

You gonna go play tomorrow?

I've held the SmartRacing/Fox struts in my hands....does that count for anything??

Works of art, but no idea on the performance of them besides the one review/story in Excellance last year or so.....
