Ah okay. Thanks. I appreciate it. It's quite nice.

Installed Megan Racing Roll Center Adjusters and took Baxter for a drive. Felt great but will reserve final judgement until Wednesday when I get him aligned. This was the last step of the project which included Koni FSD'S, JCW Springs, Ireland Engineering Fixed Camber Plates, Continental Extreme DW's and the RCA's. I think I am going to love this setup!

I would probably put them on the back side windows... I think they would look cool there.

Finally got around to replacing rear brakes and rotors after 118000 miles, still had life in the pads. Getting ready for first ever state inspection.

Made my first attempt at an engine bay detail. Diluted some Simple Green into a spray bottle, sprayed onto cloth, and wiped down what I could reach, along with the underside of my bonnet.

That's what I was thinking, now to have warmer weather again for a bath and be able to do the install, I'm going to check and see too, if the inside winodws are a possibilty, I haven't looked at the Decals enough to know, I'm afraid to take off the backing until I'm ready.

Ps. you gonna' be at the Meetin' Tuesday??!!

Are the decals made to go on the inside? I don't think they would last too long if you could only put them on the outside.

Unfortunately, I work Tuesday nights so I can't make the meetings. I'll be at the coffee meet on the 23rd though.

Well, I drove ours somewhere around 400 miles over the past two days. It did just fine. Actually handled puddles at 70 ish pretty well. I think the thinner contact patch width of our 15s helped a bit.

Not at all I would only recommend having a helping hand to hold the headlight as you pry.

This helped a ton.

Got my license plates, a wash, and took out the collars on the rear seat headrests so they drop all of the way down.

This past Saturday, an oil change and swapped out my S scuttles for the mesh JCW ones, looks great!
This coming Saturday, replacing oem runflats with Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

I also have paid for a detail that I'm holding onto until the weather is more agreeable...

I'd love to see a picture of your new scuttles!

Took it out and drove it hard - it really is a blast on a twisty road.

Would like to see different angles. Because of the reflector part of the halogen headlight, I always thought the Joey mod was more for Xenons. Not that I paid real close attention or anything....

Painted the pieces behind the headrests. I wasn't sure I'd like it but now that it's on I'm very happy with the decision.

filling installed a CAI (on Sunday). Love it. Great compliment for the 15% pulley. As for today, ran some Techron into the tank.
