Been really busy the past month or so.

Was at FD TX in September to help an old time friend out at the event. Spent the weekend as a spotter for Forrest and the Get Nuts team.

So much fun! Qualified 4th and went to top 16. He just took 3rd place this past weekend in Irwindale. If you don't know who these guys are, check them out at getnutslab.com . Some of the absolute sickest cars I've ever seen have been built by them. If you need any fab work done, they're the guys to hit up.

Video from the September event finally surfaced. Be warned, the music might give you a seizure. Damn video is like 10 minutes long haha

Had a small meet/get together in OKC/Edmond

Swapped engine/trans and diff fluid and switched to a fumoto drain valve(best $20 ever spent)

Ditched the Personal wheel and bubble knob and picked up a 10 Star 330mm Vertex Wheel. Paired with a Vertex shift knob and circuit hero 4" extension.

Forgive me, the car is pretty dirty haha.

I'm expecting the wheels to show up within the next couple of weeks. Gonna pair those off with some Kics Neo Chrome Lugs. Also have some ARP extended wheel studs on the way for the front and a bunch of PBM spacers to use on the front and rear.

Everything said and done, the new wheel specs will be long the lines of:
17x9 +20 up front
17x9 +30 in back
215/45s all around with same alignment specs.

Once I pick up the angle kit from PBM, I'll end up going to like -4 camber up front along with going from 5.9 to around 7 degrees of caster. Got more stuff to buy over the next couple weeks

Also planning on getting a new seat/harness from the guys @Touge Factory before I go back home for the holidays.

Then it's off to the lab in December for some tandem fun before I ship off to the middle east in January. Maybe I'll get lucky and smack a wall and get some sick carnage before I go

I'll have RIDICULOUS amounts of pictures and photos. I'm bringing extra tires and will be there at the shop for an entire weekend.

Here's some footage of their shop...and yes, that's their lot/skidpad as well. Slide all day e'eryday!
