i don't really have a measurement, i have zero gap in the front on my more aggressive summer setup, and about one finger in the rear. i like my cars to have a rake.

few small updates, got the car on scales. the suspension is setup better than i expected for not being corner-balanced. the weight is with out me in it (150-160lbs) 3/4 tank of gas, and atleast 100lbs of tools/washing stuff/spare tire/shit in my trunk.

brand new alignment machine coming to @AZP Installs soon, so we will be prepared for all your corner balancing needs come spring!



and then, its almost christmas! which means almost done with this semester of school.
man i love walking back through the street/garage and seeing the car, it just looks so damn good.

Have to say man you did a great job on this car. It's just a work of art. Hope you make a trip to longisland in the near future, would love to see this machine in person. Btw no rubbing issues on full lock?

full lock only rubs when i go forward and to the left. makes no sense to me

right now i have no rubbing at all, because i'm on a stock sized tire/rim, just obviously not stock offset.

i will eventually make it out to long island, right now the car isn't pretty by any means, its winter so i just don't keep up with washing the exterior at all. i just rinse the salt off and spray under the car and call it a day.

come spring i've got a few things planned, nothing crazy but just subtle touches i've wanted to get added.

if the meets aren't on a saturday i may make it out. i work saturday all day so its always impossible, i don't like to take off work.

Don't mean to thread jack, @chriscross_tnt, what club do you guys auto-x with? I've got some friends trying to get me out with bmwcca at the coliseum (usually 10-13runs for the day and tight technical courses) and I know PCA runs there too but I've only been to their events at Tobay beach. You guys should check out some NNJR events at MetLife, that lot is sooooo nice.
