LOL. My poor thread has gone from cars to boobs to man hands to bacon and now ban hammers...I can't wait to see where it goes next. Perhaps it needs a different title?

CT SS, hybrid bushings and braided line installed over the weekend. Side marker lights came and are on.



Advans should be here today and hopefully I'll get to the Teins and them this weekend.

I think you missed the type of headlights J was referring to


Either way, the actual car headlights are fine as they are.

I'm a whore for amber. Especially on dark cars. I opened up my headlights and put the amber back in... Didn't like the cleared look the previous owner did

I think the car is dark blue...

Meh...my headlights suit me just fine. LOL Plus..I'd rather spend money on a supercharger than new headlights for me..

As far as the car headlights go. I haven't decided on what I want yet. The heads and tails need changing...just don't know exactly to what yet...

Car is an 05' ABP. Found it as a trade from an elderly couple. It is in GREAT shape mechanically. Full service records and receipts. They tried to take care of it..complete with dash carpet to protect it from the AZ sun and all...

New shoes came..well..new to me shoes




I'm still waiting on the leatherseats.com kit. That should take care of the seat tears. I'm excited to see the quality and how it turns out in person. I ordered the full kit including the door panels in the ecstasy leather with cobalt stitch.

Type S heads would be nice, even stocks you'd have to do just changes to the wiring pigtails and such though..

I see Bridgestone Potenzas... Not sure what model though.

If you're looking for replacements.... and if you like to drive.... may I suggest the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A...

Right now it's wrapped in the SO4. Which are a bit softer ride from my understanding. The RE-11A are quite a bit more aggressive. I'm not sure how they ultimately would be on a DD. Do you run them?

I do, and I absolutely love them. It's my go-to summer tire since they were introduced. I've tried convincing many others on AZ to try them, but no one is willing to.


I must admit, I'm not familiar with the SO4s. Never even heard of them- are they an all-season tire?

I'll have to try them when the time comes. The SO4's are more of a street tire that you can take to the track instead of a track tire that you can street. If that makes any sense at all..they are fairly comparable to the PPS's.
