I know man. Trust me! I'm not 100% out as of right now but mostly like that's going to be the case. I'm getting my bro to inspect it tomorrow morning so at least it'll be road legal when I drive it.

 

Ok cool. Like I stated above, I'll be gone for a couple hours, but would be able to catch up again during lunch.

 

Kevin - Hopefully Donna & I can both make it on Saturday. She is currently trying to change her work schedule for Saturday morning (Really miss those days when we were both off work for the weekends). Be happy to take you for a ride in the NSX.

Pete - I forgot about the new Fit, congratulations! I do not really have a good answer your question. Let's just say I pretty much stopped pricing a full NA2 conversion at the front end. I do know the rear conversion is not as expensive, but it's not cheap either. Do not forget, you also have to change the side skirts & add lower door pieces.

Dave - Congratulations on the pick-up. Does the smart car fit in the bed?

Steve - anxious to see what you think of those new ZII tires. I know I like my Star Specs, hopefully these are really an "improvement".

Oh, if Donna does come with me, I'm sure she will want to go to Yukai!

 

Not going bigger up front? I hope to be able to put in an order before the Dixie tour. I'm not going this weekend, I'm taking the time off and prepping to go hard come March. Might too c&c, not sure.

 

Yeah, it's a 2wd regular cab longbed. None of this oversized country Cadillac stuff for me. It's like the GMC in a lot of ways: cylinder count, displacement, power and torque curves, 3/4 tons, etc. The Dodge gets at least 2x better fuel economy, though.

The rear track on the smart is about six inches too wide to fit between the wheels wells in a full-size truck bed. Plus, I sold it about 4 months ago.

 

Either way, she's a beauty as-is.

I'll never forget when I was driving down the winding road leaving your house last year. Didn't think you were leaving also right behind me... and just seeing the beautiful white front end just closing in and carving through the road. Yep, I've got a crush on your car.

 

No. I don't want to push it too much on the factory wheels. The front 7" wide rims aren't very wide. I know when I had the white STI and had 255s on the factory 8" rims the car just felt like crap on any kind of steady state corner. I'm not trying to optimize my setup for autocross only.

 

My TE37s arrived today, I had some black lug nuts to be delivered as well, but of course UPS managed to damage the shipment.

What time does everyone start arriving at the VB C&C?

 

I usually try to get there around 8am.

And what are the sizes/offsets on the wheels? Color?

 

17x7.5 and 17x8.5 +40, I've been advised not to mount them until I get the rears rolled at least, so I'll still be on the stock ones if I come to VB on Saturday. They're gunmetal which looks really good on the red.
