RonJon shipping out new shoes. Not sure which but it's the Legends for sure and it's either option A: Liquid graphite and if none in stock, option B: Raven Black. Woot can't wait!!!! Now i need new tires as i found out during the light install i'm nearly on the steal threads... Anywhere to get good tires cheap and fast?

great write up! In regards to Seafoam, yea, i've always been hesitant too. The more i researched the product the better i felt doing it. Plus every damn mechanic i took the car to said the write ups on the forums are correct. It was very easy to do. Autozone charges 9.99 for a 16oz bottle....

I heard but i'm seriously anti Walmart. Since it's only done once a year, the extra 3 bucks won't kill me Glad to hear you're coming along. BTW. Anyone know of a place to get alignments done for 20" rims on a lowered car with 2.5" clearance lol. It's an emergency and Winston's set up can only handle up to 19"

ok i'm in the clear. Auto Innovations in Milpitas can handle it just fine. Gotta love these last minute projects. Tires ordered and will be put on by firestone through a hook up connection from Jim over at Team Rev. Then over to Winston's shop for Winston to put in the camber kits and help adjust the ride height and stance. Afterwards, over to Auto Innovations for the alignment. Now i may need to roll the fenders.... who to go to for that lol....

yea? i'll have to keep that in mind for next time. DeCafe hooked me up with his shop. Since i called too late, wasn't able to get a quote for the camber installs but for alignment, they were cheaper than Auto Innovations. I'm trying to keep it all at one place. Oh and FYI, it's clockwise for the turn signal. When you said something might be in the way, you were right. I hadn't pushed it all they way through. It was just kinda loose that i didn't want it to fall off into the housing nonethless they're in!

it's only one day and V provided a link with the map to there. The rest of the days, you can leave us behind on your speed machine. On the real, we'll all going to try to stay on schedule so we can all roll or that is "most" can roll to the event together. btw, i never heard back from Rommel. Last he told me he was going and i sent him an email with info. Never got back to me to confirm...
