you finding an excuse to gut your car eh LOL....
well not really....I lift while shifting....I dont stress the transmission, I keep an eye on the shifts and the pattern and whats going on over all....
last night I was out running some errands and thought of doing some pulls....was getting some wheel spin (was cold outside and I was on all seasons)....but it was fun....I wanted to have more fun but I backed out since I dont wanna put more stress on the car/engine/transmission....
so its a combination of everything I guess and maintaining it like a mofo !!!

what i meant what you get 2 paddles and 2 pedals....total 4
with that said, I would like to build a car like an Atom and throw in a 7 speed sequential gearbox....or a 6 speed twin clutch....now that would be fun to drive...I think the BAC Mono comes that way

Because of the detail right before winter, I was able to get the salt/dirt off the car very very easily....
I took her to a wand wash (was lazy to take the pressure washer out)...hit the car with soap (no presoak as I didnt want it to take the layers of wax off)....rinsed her off....took her for a spin and by the time I was home she was nice and dry...
wiped her down with some Griotts spray wax and she was looking good....
it was very very gloomy today....I was heading to run some errands and thought of stopping by the community club house and taking some pix....here they are:
before we get to the pix, was taking some pix of the kid last night, since light was low and the kid was moving, I had to turn the ISO all the way upto 3200 to reduce my shutter speed....I forgot to check the settings and the first few pix were at ISO3200 and the remaining ones are @ ISO400...I would recommend checking the setting before snapping pix to avoid the stupid mistake I made

since I was done with work early, I took the wifey's car today for a wand wash....and then made some room for Steven's Vette....
Had to angle my car in so the wifey as open the rear driver side door as much as she wanted to get down....had to reverse park and slightly angle her car so we can access the child seat and put it in and take it out very easily....all this to make the most room for a fat bootay coming in (still not sure when LOL)....
quick cell phone pic

You have 225 too right? Looks much better than mine. Dem spacers
Looking great Anil, I really like how it stands. OEMishhh
Keep it like this don't even get rims
Why no close pic of the exhaust tips
Leave Steven's car at outside
What's community club house?

I cant do that to Steven....i like him too much LOL....
Thanks a lot meeks...means a lot brother...yes am running 225/45/17 tires and 25mm spacers all around....I dont have my fender rolled/pulled and hence am at the ride height where I want to be....
its a perfect compromise for me...its low but not tucking or slammed....I have the preload where I want it to you, the dampening is on the stiff side and love the ride (no its not comfy but sporty)....
I do understand about not even getting rims, but I feel that will be the last weight loss mod....I am hoping to be in the 2890lb range...am about 70-90lbs away from that....wheels/tires will help me with 50 of those lbs....need another ~30lbs to get where I want to be
no pix of the exhaust tips since they were not clean....I totally forgot to clean them and when I went to take a shot of them, I was like
the Community club house is a pool/hot tub/events center....its closed for the winter, but its really fun in the summer....
Thanks again bud...
I think yesterday would have been the perfect time to store the car...now with the ice and snow, I bet the TL is sitting outside shivering

I'm hoping the flat-bottomed steering wheel comes for the Stingray this week. It's supposed to be 40 by the next weekend. I need to get it over there, swap out the steering wheel out and send the OEM wheel back for a $300 rebate. Then, it's over to your house.

Wacker is a big strong red blooded Amurikan with many guns. If Mehmet Kockring kicked in his door and yelled anything, I guarantee you he'd grab his wife and kids and jump out a window for fear of some sort of explosion.
