I think the switch to black steelies was a bold move. I like it though.

black steelies with snow tires that are 225/65/16 on the stock suspension is pretty gnarly. the pic doesnt do it much justice but it sits waay higher than the lexus lol

Eh, I don't see any reason to clean the garage. LOL!

That sucks. I was gonna video mine running with the turbo manifold off here soon. Maybe not haha.

At least it's running and running well, that's great news.

well i kinda did clean the garage this morning now mostly everything on the floor is on top of the car LOL

i took a video with the camera but no sound cause it was soo loud. i had my neighbor come over with a grin asking me if the car was finally done lol

I don't know that really counts as cleaning the garage LOL.

I ran mine tonight, and I tried to video, but I learned a lesson...which is, that a vacuum cap will NOT plug the oil feed line to the turbo enough for it not to shoot the cap almost through the wall and lose about 2 quarts of oil. LOL However, I do know for SURE that the turbo was getting oil haha.

So you drive the car less than an inch off the ground during winter on fat wheels, and winter tires during summer? I try to understand your actions but it hurts my head lol

haha riight? even i dont know what the hell im doing. im pretty much wingin everything as i go through it. yet, i havent had to do a single ghetto thing to the car like last time. everythings being done the correct way this time.

im trying to get this rear fender issue fixed so i can take pics with the wheels on and slam it again. the car will be a competition pro am car for next year so it wont be as low as it was previously.

also, anyone know of any place or person that can make me custom axles? like stronger ones? im using a 4:3 rear end out of a gtus so i cant use the stonger t2 axles. i have a feeling i will break the axles first more than anything.

soo since i moved to texas i havent really worked on the car due to work but i did manage to paint one wheel lol. also moved to a waaaay much better place than when i got here.

you cant really see the glitter/pearl effect but its there. a few coats of clear should brighten it up more

speedjunkie · Postby **speedjunkie** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:14

Interesting lol.

Careful with pink in Texas. The summer after I graduated high school I dyed my hair hot pink just for the hell of it and went on a trip to San Antonio. Had a group of rednecks wanting to kick my ### at a Pizza Hut cause they thought that meant I was gay.

ill have that purple/pink/fuchsia wheel on one side of the car and metallic pearl-ish green on the other. ill be sure to park it where the green side faces lol.

alex_n/a · Postby **alex_n/a** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:14

iani1.1 · Postby **iani1.1** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:14
