Great thing happened tonight: I had just picked up 4 285/35R18 RS3's from the local FedEx Office (Thanks Scott!) and was waiting on the side of the street with my Z for a friend to help me transport them home; an old couple walked out of the Panda Express right next to me and without hesitation asked if I needed help. They were locals, had a van down the street, helped me load up my tires and brought them to my place. Random acts of kindness ftw

 

Damn, that's pretty cool.

 

Did you make sure to give them a hug?

 

Or your variety of bumpers?

 

That's Pasadena for you

Now I regret not giving him a hug.

I may get another soon.. Who knows

 

That's not right man, they showed you kindness but no sugar in return?

 

Cooold blooded

 

Damn you both

 

i think he misses your sugar, pete... brohugz again for him next time. lol

Visited Henry at Temple City Auto to install my RS3's and get an alignment. Thanks to Other Peter for helping me transport my tires to the shop

Up on all fours:

Back home!




Camber = -2.8 F -2.3 R, will be rolling front fenders flat asap (maybe a slight pull as well) and lowering rear to match.

Good times

 

Whoa! Super meaty look!!

What's the specs ?? Spacers?

Looking good !

 

Thanks King, hope you're doing well overseas

SBC Enkei RPF1's 18x10.5 +15 wrapped in 285/35 Hankook RS3's square

No spacers

 

Good to have that done (love the 285's), the car looks hot!

 

Mmmm meaty!

 

Let me know if you have any rubbing issues on the inside sidewalls. I'm thinking about getting 285s all around later.

 

Thanks

It does rub atm but I'm pretty low compared to you, I'm going to get the fronts rolled flat soon with a slight pull and you can check it out at your housewarming.

 

18x10.5 with 285 squared is an awesome setup and one that I hope to run in the future! Sweet job Peter! Let us know how you like the driving characteristics.

 

You're welcome, Man! I'm glad it worked out, the car looks SICK!

Try to get a little more front camber if you can (and a little less rear if you can!). It's hard to get the rear camber low without adjustable arms unless you raise the car up all tonka style. I liked the rear at 1.5ish and the front 3 or more on the RS3s. See what you like, and tinker from there.

 

Hey, where did you get your vinyl wrap? Everywhere I look they only have matte stuff and I'm trying to go for something glossy.
