Though I am on 18s, I am not dropped. I am not sure there are alot here, on NAM that is. Check out www.motoringunderground.com and if you join, let them know I sent you over.

Looks good. 1/4" lower looks about right. Got a picture of the Work rims?
Taken your car to the track or autocross?

Very nice, man. You got a pretty sweet stance going on there. What size tire are you running?

Minihune, i am working on gtting a real go-kart together and improve my skills on track. GTI is for the street. here is the WORK rims i want, prolly March:

I know for sure it needs 1/4" more, however at that time fender mods gotta go into play. Saving that for the next phrase.

Jeff, you passed just because you are MINITOR

Partsman, 225/40/18. WORKs will sport 235/30/19s

Mario, great stance as always.

Looks like lot of things have changed, since i left. In a good way. Keep coming guys
