The Smurf got new shoes. Actually about 6-7 weeks ago. Just got around to taking pics.
OEM 17x9 ZR1's. BFG KDW tires up front, Nitto road race tires out back.
Should be a traction monster now compared to the smaller Sumitomos (crappy cheap *** tires) that were on the stock wheels. I also put the BMR LCA's and UMI Torque Arm back on the car.
I had looted them off the Smurf and installed on my wife's '00 B4C back when I was bracket racing her car.

Thanks guys. Yeah, would look nicer lowered, but I decided a while back... after about the 5th speed bump or angled driveway "event", that I would not lower any more of my cars.
J-M, sorry, this one ain't set up for the dragstrip. OEM Valeo clutch and stock 10 bolt. I have done several suspension mods to make it a corner carver.
I put the stock 10K mile clutch disk and pressure plate off my '01 SS in her last month and had the flywheel resurfaced after the original clutch gave up the ghost.
I am working to get the Blue Beast back up and running. Then I can come down to SAR and play.

Thanks Neil, Joe and sprayed98z.
The car does have a few little nicks and scratches, but from 10 feet away she's good to go. I had her stored at a friend's home shop for almost 2 years until a few weeks ago, but I did use the car as a DD for 2.5 years prior to that.
Blue Beast... eh... the intake is with Lloyd Elliot, and I have a noise I am trying to diagnose
but hard to do it without it running.
