i had spacers but took them out to try and clear the lip, i have 15x8's with 4.5in BS. i might get a smaller Drag radial for these and get a set of 15x10's with a 26x10 slick... it never ends!

well, i couldnt get to the track today but i did drive the car pretty much all day. this thing is a blast, i couldnt be happier with the way it has turned out so far. im hoping to go maybe friday night or saturday(they had awesome air today though, -15,000ft or something like that ) but i did wash and wax the car for the first time since i started the build a little less than a year ago and was able to get some better pictures. enjoy.

went out tonight and made some 60ft shots with the car on the street. 25degrees, 30psi of air in the tires and asphalt dont make for traction(even with VHT) but the car goes straight atleast...
