My car does the same. I'm almost sure it's a bad end link.

That's not my house/driveway in those pics.

But to answer your question no I go in my garage ... I do scrape every time I pull in my driveway though... And that's with me going on an angle up lol. No ***** given

Car also goes up on three wheels pulling in somewhere inclined. Kinda cool actually

I'm not sure if they do. I will probably just buy some power grids at some point.

small hose clamps on the metal hangar bars to stop the rubber hanger from sliding. works like a charm and you can position it where it needs to be.

Car looks great as usual Sandro. Did you detail it yourself, or have it done somewhere?

Man, it drives me nuts when the tail pipe is off centered too. It seem to be especially a pain in the ass with the ZZP exhausts though (which is what Sandro has I believe). I know with mine I had to do some shenanigans to get it all just right and STAY just right. From under the car it doesn't look so hot the way I had to hang it, but who cares. It looks perfect anywhere else but underneath so it's fine with me.. lol

Not really, and I'm kinda OCD

It used to hang center... my huge zzp resonator hangs so low (not really good for me as Im kinda low as it is) and I was bottoming out a ton. On my third resonator now so when installed i shoved it as far up as I could, in return the piping is slightly left. Its much better now so thats the reason why lol.

Thank you sir. Most times I'm with you its covered in salt or snow, nice to have warm weather for once.

I usually detail myself... this was the first time I had an actual detailer do it because he did some paint corrections and got rid of a lot of surface scratches.

PS I need to talk to you... will shoot you a text today.

btw my ottp cabs were a piece of **** and were completed shot after less then a year and <10k miles. Do not recommend them at all. I went with Powell Racing CABs. Highly recommend them... he is great to work with.

Have a few more things plans. should have a nice update hopefully next week

Theres a meet in upstate NY this saturday... its probably kinda far for you. I may be going, but have a family event and have to go to Long Island at night... so I will probably pass this one just because I don't want to be driving all night. should be a decent turnout though.

I'm down for an NJ meet. Maybe well plan one for August or early september. What part of NJ you from?

The ZZP stealth one? Look pretty nice. IMO I think your temps are on the high end. I have every cooling mod except meth (E85 definitely helps) including the phenolic spacer and my temps recover quite nicely after each pull. It's been hot as hell this past week.

Yup zzp stealth. yeah there a tad high but nothing i cant live with for now. The E85 keeps the motor cooler so im not too worried i keep an eye on them.

Where you coming to on LI ? I have a family party during the day but can always meet up for a bit and take u for a ride lol
