No real updates on the car, just a few upgrades I did to a local member/friends car. I Installed a koyo radiator, thermostat, samco hoses, innovative motor mounts, spark plugs and did a valve adjustment. All I can say is the hoses going to the thermostat housing and under the manifold were a real pain in the ass. Only thing that saved me some time was that it gave me more space once I removed the driver's side motor mount. I forgot to take a picture of the engine bay once it was finished and cleaned up

Are you planning on keeping 255s all around on the new WEDS?

Nice, I have the same wheel and size in the rears and have been contemplating stuffing a 255 back there I just don't want to have to deal with the potential rubbing issues with heavy driving. Good luck, I freaking love those wheels.

Hey guys no REAL updates, I sold my bride and picked up a pole position. Finally wrapped my trunk in cf today, looks much better then I expected. I hit up Sonoma after rebuilding my HKs coilovers and had a real hard time trying to dial them in as I had changed my front sway bar to the softest settings. I forgot my sd card but a buddy of mine got some pics. I also snapped some pics of my car with the volks before I parted with them and thought I would share them.
