Well, its the last time I will be working off hours for a while...
Sprint bought out Virginmobil and we are bringing in VirginMobil customers...so we lock them in the old system and bring them in....so they get free service when locked....we do this at night hoping many peeps wont realize the free service....
convert the customer over and unlock them....and start billing them....and we got a full team here
we usually end up watching movies on the projector while the computer and our scripts do all the work

well, Sprint doesnot want people to get free calling....and hence we do it at night since the traffic at night is a lot less....and my company makes the billing system....
makes sense?

You have one of the sickest TL's on the board bro.
Been a while since I've been on your thread but DAYUUUUM....looks great!
A nice turbo setup would compliment the aggressiveness of the car very well. You should give Hickam a ring.
Just noticed you posted 3 minutes ago. Good to know I'm not the only fool up this late on a work night. Hahaha

I'll pick your brain at some point, Anil...since you have the inside scoop. Sprint contract coming up in August...not sure what phone we're going with. Might even switch carriers...
Sounds like an interesting system you work for.
J.
And holy fk...that is going to be a tight fit is right...
Go see Rex, have him help you remove your front fenders and just cut out a huge section of the rear. Weight savings!

Austin, funny thing is, you made me think LOL....
Jeremy...sure thing, anytime....well if you wanna stick with Sprint, I can talk to my manager and see if I can extend out the Friends and Family...$45-ish for unlimited everything
And yeah, I have been thinking around multiple options....might be my only change to flare out the fenders....

I am not sure if I want to commit to doing fender work since I do want to run a 245/40 tire....I still have to hear back from this one body shop and depending on that, I will make my final decision....If I were to run a 215 tire, the rims would have been on by now....
Wheels are WedsSport TC105n...specs are 17x9 +10

Thank you Tyler....yeah, these wheels have been on my list since a while
I wanted to get the 17x8.5 rpf1 but they just look soo smal in 17's....
Thanks John...the +10 makes it right around 16lbs....if you go with the +25 or +32, you will be around the 15.4lb mark

Thanks Chad
John...am not sure if the +25 will work....
I measure the inside clearance (from the rim to the suspension components and the clearance is right around an inch...so 25mm and the the +25 will sink in 15 mm....so I got ~10mm of clearance and the 245/40 tire will take up another 5-7mm....so rather than a hit and miss, I might just go with the 17x8.5 +32...
unless, I am measuring something wrong LOL

I deleted the radio so it offsets to be equal....but yes, I do have couple more weight reduction mods....these mods will also lower the center of gravity....the lower CG will make it handle better I guess...
will it be noticeable to a noob like me....NOPE
will I have evidence to prove like it did....NOPE
will I mention the handling has gotten better...MOST LIKELY

^^^ that is one way of thinking about it....
another way is to reduce the weight above the CG....so that will make the CG lower right
I have been experimenting with seat height and looks like am going to lower the height of the seat by 1 inch (am looking into modding the bracket) and after that, remove the headliner and couple other things....
Hopefully, I will be able to loose ~20-25 lbs...couple that with 11lbs/corner for rims/tires and we have ~65-70lbs lost....I should be in the lower 2900's after these mods

^^^ well if I adjust the preload to where I want it and lower the car completely, because of the (light) weight the car sits a lot higher LOL....hence I have to mess with the preload....
also if you see up, just 1 jack up front will jack up the full side of my car hahaah....
Lets see how this goes....
