I work saturday night and im going to an open house up that way around 1pm, so it works for me
Have you done a boost leak test? I'll grab my buddies "Home-made" tester and bring it on Saturday. Maybe we can find it and fix it.

This is going to be a pretty damn good turn out!!

no, I havent tried any tests, my cousin wanted me to take the car up to his shop and spray soapy water all over it and see if we make any bubbles. Haven't tried that yet, probably wont till next week. I don't even know where to start looking lol. Only thing I know is how the car first behaved when I bought it and how it is now. Two totally different animals, still quick though. Ran a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo the other day and was pacing with it weaving thru traffic, lol. It was awesome and the driver was like WTF.

It's also scattered t-storms, not pure rain like it is today

haha yea i'm running and i'll be up really early. i'm not sure if i'll do the rear brakes tho, might wait until sunday... all i'm doing is putting my stock pads back in, nothing major. putting the DRs on is a 10 minute job.

shiot, I didn't know you had another set of SC rims with the DR's on it....

I thought you were switching between stock tires and the DR's on one set of rims which would have been a big no-no

I didn't even notice that when we were at the dragway last month.

I wish I could find a cheap set of wheels to throw on this car, but the damn Brembos!!

rumor has it that the 17" SS rims will fit.... that's what i heard. i've actually thought about trying to buy to swap the DRs onto, just so it blends in better

yeah, I've read that too, I think you would need at least a small spacer though ... I haven't done much research into it honestly. One guy on here did it ... forget where the post was/is.

well, they blend in pretty well to me, I can usually see the differences in wheels, especially on cars like me, and I didn't even take notice to that ... maybe since there was so much commotion going on at the track, who knows!!
