Yes grass hopper. Next you learn how to walk on fly paper and not have it stick.

Josh, which x-brace do you have? I've been looking at several and can't decide which to buy.

several?

i know Mingster's working on one - but it's not done yet. And some of the Oz folks have talked about this. as far as i knew, however, the only XBrace available is the Spoon one.

Let me tell you, I've got the Spoon X-brace with Toyo Proxies and I can not believe how far I can push this car!! I mean it's like on a rail or something, I just can't believe it!!

nvmys2k, I love the wheels! The combination with the tires makes the car look phat. Very aggressive look, classy, and the performance still amazes me every day. They are slightly noisier than stock tires but the exhaust drowns it out nicely. I keep pushing and pushing this car and it responds everytime. I have never tracked it but plan to get to Sebring soon. I do not have pictures, sorry.
