I will just leave this here my friends. Matt Farah did a One take on the car for his YouTube series. The comments are already looking epic. :popcorn:

Just had a beer and watched it. Very cool your car was featured Ash, I too wish you were on a track to really stretch its legs.


Can't wait to see it all one colour  :chug:

3mm spacer in rear to give the tire room around the rear trailing arm. 8mm spacer in front. In the pictures there is only 3mm of spacer in the front.

with the 8/3 spacers the tire is in the same position it was with the smaller wheels.

Thanks for the info last week!

Sorry if I missed it - but what model/offset are those? They look awesome

Quick update - more to follow later.

In running this car for 8 years I finally used the tow hook! I put a wheel off at Auto Club  and destroyed a wheel and tire. I have more of these wheels and tires so it is not a huge deal. Going to check the alignment and stuff later. At a glance everything seems ok, nothing is loose.

Also, the new re valved shocks worked great.

It was until the tire fell into a hole :)

 More video later.. that Porsche I let by is nuts.. 680 WHP on e85, originally a turbo, now converted to 2wd, sequential trans, coilovers worth more than my car, caged, aero, etc. beautiful car. He came over with his mouth hanging open after the first session of the day when I passed him. We had fun dicing all day. He had sport cup tires on it, said he left his Hoosiers at home.
