Been quiet around here lately. I'm proud to say I'm a one throttle cable kinda guy now. Threw that cruise and traction control **** in the bushes. My foot goes to the throttle blade

Chris A, your uncle ever get my old motor back running?

I like a 28" rear tire, and you've got a ton of wheel gap anyway. I'm not gonna do the math, but google tire size calculator.

That was my dad. He bought all the parts for it but hasn't put it together. None of us have messed with any of our cars in a while but I'm about to start working on mine again. I plan to have mine ready when the points racing starts up in Feb.

Im thinking the NT555R 285/35R18 also just because of the possibility of getting caught in rain the nt05 has a big flat spot. what you guys think?

I like the 555R from Nitto. I has a hell of a lot more bite then a normal street tire. With any amount of power you can still spin them though. They do put up some fight where a street tire will just give up. Its hard for any tire to hook with that little sidewall.

Speaking of which, I want another run before yours goes under the knife. It will be a nice direct comparison as to a before and after.

I'm selling a few things. Wanted to give the locals first dibs. All parts are in like new condition.

1. BMR Lower control arms non-adjustable, black in color
http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=270

2. BMR Panhard rod non-adjustable, red in color
http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=278

3. Spohn solid motor mounts, red in color
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Spohn...0#ht_500wt_749

4. Part or all of my exhaust from the headers back, 3 inch mandrel bent, 3 into 4 inch Flowmaster merge, with a 4 inch Flowmaster single chamber. Sound clips available. Will part with the muffler by itself also. Here is the muffler:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FLOWM...#ht_3486wt_951

5. BMR Torque arm relocation cross-member (Part number tcc007) for autos that moves the torque arm off the transmission, has a brand new poly bushing for a stock torque arm. Basically makes a full length torque arm a chassis mount. Looks like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMR-T...#ht_4106wt_760

6. Pool table with sticks and two sets of *****, stick holder you hang on the wall, box (12) of cue chalk and hand chalk, triangle rack. This table is like what you would find at Academy for about $300. Its a little dusty but in decent shape. $100 for all of it.
