nothing overly exciting, but if you care about kit car seat fitments, and a quick wheel/tire/bolt pattern conversation, take a peak...

As a future dad I appreciate the car seat discussion...thank you

cool! definitely not the sexiest of discussions, but it was a factory for me.

wow, great stuff. here's a free garage door opener solution. I've had it in a few cars now for almost a decade.

very cool idea! I think I'll do it.

i guess the title to this thread isn't appropriate any more.

I had a trip to 949 racing recently. we played with wheels, tires, spacers, and different pads to collect a good amt of data. I posted it in my blog. I know that is a "user build", but figured a good amt of it would be useful here.

Check it out if you want. its in my signature.

Awesome...this is also the kind of stuff I want to see. Please let me know how the brakes hold up...as I believe that will be the next performance item on my list after wheels and tires.

Read your blog and saw you fitted a 255 in front. Based on what I read it seems I should be able to fit a 245 width (9.8" section width) on 17x8 +48 without issue on stock suspension.
