Few changes for Spring.. I am not a fancy wheel/tire person but I always liked these front wheels, figured I'd snap a pic since I spent about 1/2 an hour cleaning the rotor/caliper so ti will be the last time it looks like that. I dont like the M/T rear wheels but I'm still deciding if I should narrow the rear before I decide for sure which rear wheels..
I'm not much on how a car looks really but I finally took the car to a real detail guy and man waht a difference, its almost like a new car. Didnt get a chance to take a pic outside yet all cleaned up but getting all the overspray from when I spray painted the roll cage off sure made a difference
Also added a large (but tasteful) procharger sticker on the back window, hopefully that will cut the 'does it have a turbo' question at the track down by at least 50% - well maybe..
Not much F! related but its nice out and I'm bored, wanted to get the car looking purdy before I beat it up

I'm not going to mini tub it ever, I'll do a four link and big tires if I start cutting..
SSilverSSurfer,
The guys at procharger have been cool with me for a while and have helped me out a few times on things. There are plenty of procharged cars out there way faster than mine that are much more deserving so I dont expect anything from ATI, but I really believe its a good product and dont mind putting a sticker on the window. I'm not kidding, at least 20 people ask me if it has a turbo every time I run the car, I actually took the 'ram air' stickers off the hood since the number one question I was asked was 'does it have Ram Air.'

I really like those rims as well, but I'm not sure if I have to grind with the stock brakes. I guess I'll wait until I get drag brakes.

No way these would even be close with stock calipers, there is maybe 1/4" of space between the caliper and the spokes. The bogart LS1 front wheel was like 2" away from the aerospace caliper.

I didint do it for the weight, mainly to pull the front tires under the body a little more and mostly for the looks. I didnt like the 'skinney spoke' alumistar/MT front wheels at first but its kind of grown on me..

Sadly(but proudly) I still rock the Procharger sticker on the back of my car and under the hood, I won't take em off the car until it runs faster with the turbo than it did procharged....at this rate it looks like they'll be on for a long long time.
Car looks great Kev, can't wait to see some more vid's of you running it down the track.

You poor soul Jer...Why don't you drop down about a 1000ft and then you'll definitely be able to run faster than the ole D1...
