Yea Mark that was me. Those wheels did change the whole look of the car. It was 5:30 in the morning so I could'nt tell what you were playing with. 
You should run it at Bremerton on the 15th just to see what in will do.
It's Car Club and BOP racing.

So today the disassembly begins. The new car handles lke crap comapred to mine, it's all over the lanes on I5. So the suspension, wheels & tires are getting swapped over now so I can drive the new TA for a while. And it looks like I'm going to need to....
The Avi has a head gsaket going away.
This is why the GM dealer pulled it before Cory bought the motor in the first place. So it will come out AGAIN & go to the Accurate Engines where I will have Mike build me a real motor.

Just about everyone is faster than me right now, even Tyler.

That's right Tyler, you KNOW that Metro scares my car.
Zeke - I got the tail lights off, so maybe this weekend?
And I pulled the carpet back on the pass side last night. I need to post pics, but the floor is buckled on the outside edge of the attach point for the roll bar. I also noticed the tranny tunnel is buckled on the top pass side under the shifter. Damn, all that at 35 mph....
What this tells my engineering side is the drive shaft loops we use are the weak point if you have the diamond SFCs that tie both sides together. I might end up building a STOUT version for the new car....AND run floor bars forward off the roll bar across the doors regardless of whether or not I install a forward hoop.
