hahaha I actually thought of you when I typed that out; I WAS going to put in a little disclaimer "J's car being the only exception..." But your car is as ugly as mine so I decided not to.

Honestly I forgot the specs and had to look it up again lol.

225/35/19 Yokohama S Drive

Rear
19x10 +36
255/30/19 Yokohama S Drive

Currently with my ride height I have NO rubbing whatsoever; natural camber and only rear fenders rolled. Front are untouched

Today was a good day...





Not sure how I feel about this in my engine bay. I would have loved red, but like many things on my car, the blue one came up in the BM at a good price and I couldn't pass it up. Anyone wanna trade for a red one!?

Haha don't worry guys, way ahead of you.

I actually bought the BrakeMotive kit the same day I bought the car. It's been sitting for months waiting for me to order the caliper paint kit/decals. Now that time has come. It might be a "this weekend" project.

When you guys put that RV6 bar, where do you install the stuff that's connected to stock bar?
Just leave it alone

Oh, and my window visors came in. So if there's enough sunlight I may feel inspired to throw those on too.

Yeah you basically leave it alone. Everything that's attached to it is also attached to something else so it doesn't shake or vibrate too much

In other news, the weather here has been amazing lately and I had to use my sunshade which I love...Also have my window visors installed

as any wheel hoarder knows...there's no such thing as a "spare set"...

Steven, how much would you pay me for my original Teddy Ruxpin?!! I know they've been discontinued for quite some time too!

Hahahaha. Well.

I missed my old aspecs that i traded for the vossens. They were a set of MINT condition 18x8 with brand new michelin pilot sports.

I bought the set of chrome 18x8's with no tires for a steal; but they're chrome and in really bad shape. I was planning on selling my waffle type-s wheels (stacked in the pics) and use the money to get those refinished and powdercoated something close to the 18x8.5 aspec color.


Then two days later I ran across a deal on a set of 18x8.5's. the guy was parting an original aspec (dont ask me why) he had already sold the front and rear lips and only had the steering wheel, badge and wheels. He needed a trade for stockies, so I bought some on CL and I traded him those plus cash for his 18x8.5's and he threw in the badge

In other news I finally got around to listing the old DGP yesterday on CL and got a couple hits. First buyer to show up offered me $8k. I told him it probably had a dirty carfax and that I've had many parts of the car repainted. He didnt care because it still looked really good; especially since it still had the aslec body kit and everything. He actually showed up as i was washing the Type-S and told me he could tell I took care of my cars. He was completely in love with the car and gave me a 500$ deposit. He'll be picking it up this week
