Couple of photos from last AutoX event

It's my thread, might as well abuse it. Suspension mods made the car handle MUCH better in the first event of the season. Photos are Copyright © 2012 Larry Houghton (www.lateapexphoto.com)

Oh yeah, you can see how the car settled after the spring install here too. There's no subwoofer box in the trunk here either, wouldn't pass tech with it in.

Got a call from C2 Motorsports that my Z2s are going to be in next week (er, apparently today). Dropping my RPF1s off there today so they'll be read to have the tires mounted. w00t!

I'm registered for 4 AutoX events in March.

1) March 2nd & 3rd, SCAT @ Qualcomm:

http://www.sdr-scca.com/solo2/schedu...2013-03-03.pdf

2) March 9th & 10th, PSCC/CSCC @ El Toro:
https://www.motorsportreg.com/index....40357EE92B314A
https://www.motorsportreg.com/index....0D4A232F51852C

3) March 16th & 17th, SDAD @ Qualcomm:
http://www.sdr-scca.com/solo2/schedu...2013-03-16.pdf
http://www.sdr-scca.com/solo2/schedu...2013-03-17.pdf

4) March 30th & 31st, SCCA National Tour @ Qualcomm:

Should be a busy and fun month, especially on new tires and wheels.

176whp on a Mustang dyno? Not bad... Any little issues pop up yet at 20k miles? Just curious...

Nothing with the car. My bank account, well it's been in better shape. Gotta have the mods!

Enkei RPF1s 17x9 ET35 and Dunlop Z2 245/40R17

Here's the tire and wheel photos for all of you who who have been patiently waiting. @DarrenDriven, not sure if you want to add these to the tire/wheel fit list. @LSD Motorsports, thanks for the GB on the wheels. @JoeBoxer, thanks for the help in picking the right wheel/tire sizes. @Whiteline, thanks for the limited sponsorship and all of the great parts. @Racecomp Engineering for making a quality set of springs that greatly improved the handling and ride of my car. The two fingers are in the front, and one in the rear for those who are wondering.
