Hopefully this car ends up being what you've been after all along. I'm very interested to see how things will turn out next year once the car is adequately prepared for B Street. Also kind of happy to be rid of you in ST... For now.

I am not planning on spending $20k+ to prep the car for STR ever...

Hawk HP+ pads came in today so I threw them in after work. Love me some squeel and brake dust. It is now very easy to overcome the tire grip under braking. 10km drive with two harder stops and the wheels have turned from silver to grey.

Time to start waxing your wheels, I guess.

Maybe if I had nice wheels...

They're nicer than mine, and I wax mine.

Really? Cause mine are curb rashed/low profile tire and idiot driver-ed the whole way around on each rim...

Canuckrz already sent me those. That dent in the edge really bugs me.

Race em for the rest of the season, have alberta wheel repair fix em over the winter. They're holding air, and they're cheap, pick em up.

Yeah but Reijo offered me a set with no damage for $300 with "whatever tires they have on them"

I pulled a chunk of paint in a big sheet off of my Speedlines the other day because I noticed it was cracked.

Speedlines are still way better than the itshay on this car.

Racecar does not need to be perfect. I am glad I didn't get that $30k one, for I would probably be scared to touch it and drive it it was so nice.

Does not compute.

Sell ittshay aftermarket wheels, acquire 2 sets of AP1 wheels: race and street. I'm sure the smaller diameter will make tires cheaper.

Yeah but the dent could cause a major imbalance, air leaked etc.

Small dent, holds air. Perfectly fine for a street wheel. Probably $50 bucks to get it fixed over the winter.

Wheel repairs are $150 a wheel at my cost through work.

They're probably fine for street wheels. You said you don't care about the race car. This will save you money on tires.

No real updates lately, haven't driven the car much since I got my truck. Unsure if I will be competing next year or may take a year off, but I will be doing lots of "upkeep" on this car this winter.

225/50/16 Bridgestone RE71R ordered.

Planning to order Karcepts swaybar today.

Picking up stock AP1 wheels from Reijo soon.

05LGT · « **Reply #99 on:** August 26, 2015, 07:36:15 am »

Sway bar on order now too, found it on Ebay from the manufacture and bid $65 USD less than asking and they accepted. Still pricey at $930 CAD shipped
