The car was supposed to be running today but our ignition setup is fairly unique and we had a couple compounding issues that didn't allow that to happen so we'll have to wait until wednsday or so next week to run and tune the car. I have testing scheduled for the next three weekends, so we should be good for Idaho. We keep an active blog on the site for the build, check it out!

Got some Corrado wheels, and "drivers editions"
Size is 15x6.5 offset et43. Cleared the 50mm struts with no spacers. I generally have to run 8mm spacer in the front, and 16mm in the rear. Tires were great. Good run...but i'm down a transmission and rear diff  Chris |
