I went to http://alignment-plus.com/

Wasn't the first time they've worked on my cars. They do good work and are highly regarded by locals and local shops.

Yeah. There's a pair of 12s in the trunk with a pretty good size box.

A few more photos. Just put on the @Whiteline stickers last weekend that I had custom made. Need these for the 86fest sponsorship I won that got me all the Whiteline stuff for my car.

Put the @GrimmSpeed hood struts on today. These things are AMAZING. Way better than the "other brand" that I had on there in terms of fit, finish, and Engineering. I'll be posting a full writeup next week with pics and videos comparing the two, but here's some photos of them installed for now.

Good stuff! I need to post pics as detailed as yours--nicely done!

Did the hood struts add any weight? lol

I'm sure they're a bit heavier, but I heard they add like 10HP.

1st AutoCross event of the year for me at Qualcomm in San Diego with the SDR SCCA group. Car handled great with the @Racecomp Engineering springs and @Whiteline suspension mods. Thanks to both vendors for some great parts!!!

Got 3 of 5 in STX, 1st was a older 240SX driven by a senior local AutoX driver who had a full second on me. 2nd was a 2012 Mustang GT who beat me by less and a tenth of a second.

In X I PAX'd 5th. 3rd through 5th in X were less than a 2ths of a second spread. Really close.

Looking forward to mounting the 17x9 RPF1s with Z2s in mid-March.
