Been a while since I've been on the 'Zine.....
So I figured I'd post some pics I took last weekend of the car in winter mode (high) before I return it to summer mode tomorrow (low).




























Now I'm off to the NE Regional Section because I'm pretty sure the NE members think I died......

Thanks Steven! Just been having a lot of domestic issues over the past few months, and work has been killing me. You know....problems us old guys have, lol. Things are starting to lighten up though, so I'll be around more.

Quick rundown of thoughts...

1. Welcome back!
2. Clean ride!
3. CF trunk lip FTW. I love mine...debating on whether or not to get the matching front lip too.
4. You should get some exhaust, ATLP base is a good choice

Ride looks great as always man.

Thanks man....If I do anything to the exhaust I'm gonna go custom. Right now I'm considering a "bag over" setup from Bag Riders up in VT. Basically it would replace the coil spring on my F2 Type 2's with air bags. The car is an auto so for me it's more about looks than performance.

The next car WILL be more about performance though, lol.

SO SEXY! I love DGP and MRP/RRP such rare colors. That color really helps make it stand out among the sea of silver, white, and black. Love the wheels, was partially the inspiration on the reason I selected my wheels. Who needs a lip when you have concave.

Holy slammed! Looks great. Do you normally get an alignment done after you change the ride height like that?

Gorgeous trunk lip, man...and love the ride height for summer. DEFINITELY getting an alignment, I would bet.

It really depends. In this case, yes, I'll be getting an alignment because I brought the front down about 3/4" and the rear a full inch. This weekend I plan on cutting the lips off my fenders, and relocating the front bumper mounting tabs in the wheel wells for a little more clearance. Then I'm going to install my rear camber kit and dial in about -2* in the rear to bring the top of the wheel/tire back out closer to the fender. Right now if I had to guess, I'm at about -4*. When all of that is done, I'm gonna go get an alignment.

Now if I was just adjusting 1/4"-1/2" here and there....no I probably wouldn't. That small of an adjustment in height isn't going to cause enough of a toe change to make a big difference.

Your car makes me feel like I have too much crap on mine....Love the more simplistic look you've achieved. And I've always wanted that spoiler
