My wife won't let me near the car unsupervised tonight just for that reason. LOL.

:thanks:

Looks perfect, i wasn't sure about the black i thought silver or sbc would be the way to go but that definitely changes the whole impression i get of the car. I'm not a fan of the red i prefer darker, metallic reds but this just looks right. 17x9 is such a nice fit i think i should have got 18x9 all around instead of staggered.

Perrin stuff takes 5 days to get to me so hopefully your hoses will be here monday to go with the knob. They are little things but i think you will be impressed.

@JoeBoxer is selling me some more Perrin for the car. Have the following on order from him:

Radiator hoses in black: http://www.perrinperformance.com/brz...radiator-hoses
AT Fat Black shift knob: http://www.perrinperformance.com/brz...tic-shift-knob

I have the slim knob and find myself using manual mode a lot
more now. Such an easy install too it takes 2 minutes.

Shoulda got you an antenna too

Car looks great, Bob--menacing... I didn't know the 245s were available yet.

What made you decide on that rake?

I pre-ordered the tires, they prob were some of the 1st ones out from Tire Rack. Thanks!

The rake is due to the sub box in the trunk.

I was poking around Perrin's site last night. Looks like there are a few more bits I might *need*...LOL.

Somehow missed these ones yesterday. BTW that's Jon Lugod, 2012 STR National Champ working at C2 Motorsports to put the tires on for me. Thanks Jon! After we finished mounting the new tires and wheels I offered, and he accepted, him a quick drive to test the new setup and start the tire scrub process.

Car looks fantastic.

Not sure if you know, there are some bubbles in your clear bra on that fender you showed the wheel gap. Unless they are water spots, but look like bubbles.

I never thought I would like seeing these wheels again but you made me like them all over.

I really need to get out more...:) Nice build...I have been so focused on my own build that I sometimes forget there are others...sorry it took so long to visit.. Car looks good.. interested to know what pressures you end up with in competition...:)

Thanks Bill! I'll post some tire pressure data after each event next month here for everyone's benefit. Keep in mind that most of my runs will be at the Q and that parking lot can be a drifter's dream...pretty rough and easy to get sideways. (or spin if you're not careful).

If you go with RCE's lowering camber plates when they come out, that should drop the front just enough to make it even with the rear. Car looks great!

How are you liking the Z2s? I know you just got them...

I'm trying to wait patiently for mine to arrive.

No AutoX events yet, this weekend will be the first.

Driving around on the street is INSANE! These things are GRIPPY. :bonk:
