I'm really liking the RE960s so far. The car turns as soon as I barely move the steering wheel. With the Generals had to turn the wheel almost 1/2" to get the same reaction. As far as the 'jello' comment goes, the side walls are very soft. Gives the car a nice soft ride, but I may be closing in on 50, but this is for candy I would do a quick hard left and right and back left again and the car would pitch back right even though I straightened out. Drove more like a Lincoln Towncar or something.

That said, with those 35/19s you may not notice as much as I did in the 45/17s

I need some more mods!

With pullies I think low 14.3s is there. And if I fix the busted motor mount and fix it with the silicon mod Scalbert or one of those guys did, 14.2s might be possible without headers. And that means with headers . . . breaking in to the 13s is possible. Dang! Where is Santa Clause or even the Tooth Fairy when you need one.

I did my mounts with the door/window sealing silicon. Highly recommend it. So if I get rid of the car seat and get some light weight wheels, i should be tracking with you.

Pulley is going on in Apr when I send the old ride for the timing belt/water pump change (95K miles) Little early but want that pulley on.

Yeah, but you need to keep the "Baby on Board" stick on tho

I can't wait to see how the pullies work for you. It's more likely that I'll get pullies before headers. Unless I can get some used ones cheap, or some aftermarket ones that don't have problems.

I am in the process of converting the video montage, that o2 put together from the Austin meet last month, into a DVD format so you can play it on your DVD / TV.

I've been able to format in 16x9 and it actually looks great! The music comes across perfect so you can crank it up on your AVR.

I can also burn it in 4:3 format.

Once I get a couple burned I'll post back and take orders.

I went to a next to impossible high school in Houston and had a 3.8gpa on a 4.0 scale. Coming from the school I went to, it was a slam dunk. I didn't even apply to any other schools cause I knew I was going to get in. Its getting hard to get into SMU, not gonna lie. Keep your grades up.

Don't you guys get annoyed as to how wide the TL is? I mean... I love it but... Notice everyone with a TL typically has a dent right in front of the rear wheels. Such an annoying blind spot.

Just had to vent.

Grayson---excuse my misunderstanding of the video...is your family business the autism one or the child help one? Either one would be very rewarding to be part of.

Nahhh...its just when you have a 6MT...you're gonna burn threw them quicker since the car is faster than an AT. I just replaced my last set after ~10 months and ~20k miles.

I went to BFG's this time. I'm done with the cheaper tires that had softer sidewalls.

We do it all, but we are specializing in Autism. It is VERY rewarding.
