Hey guys. Just wanted to say whats up. I'm actually in Ohio, but i go to school at the University of Toledo so I'm pretty damn close. Ill be in Toledo this summer so I hope I will be able to come out to a meet or two, if Ohioans are allowed 
Also, I co-run a car club on campus called UT Tuners. Not trying to take away from the thread and plug my stuff, but I just thought I would get the info out there. We have meets usually every Thursday night on campus at 8pm and then go get food at sonic or bdubs so if anyone is ever in Toledo on a Thursday night and is looking for something to do, hit me up! We always have some pretty sweet cars out(no ricer civics)

UPDATE GUYS! 
The 275's are getting replaced with 295's on Monday, I underestimated just how much tire the rear quarters can swallow up. So that will be adressed.

wow that's crazy. How does a tire even hold air being stretched so much? Are there specific tires that stretch better than others? Where did you get your tires mounted? I find it hard to believe that discount tire or belle tire would install something like that lol.
Looks good though man!

What's up Il? You still driving the Nismo or do you have another ride. (Been a while)
I too struggle with the idea of a loss in contact patch to the ground. When I'm curious how well a stretched sidewall would hold up to aggressive handling on the Dragon. An untimely broken bead seal could be deadly.

Thanks! You should come down with us and experience it first hand! It's so much prettier in May when the trees are full of leaves.
LOL - I thought the same thing! For you, it should look really different with there being no roof! It's drives like this that make me love having a ragtop.
At lower elevations, some of the trees are getting full of leaves but up on the Dragon, it's still a little cool.

So...... good thing the aerosync is a flexible bumper, cuz I bumped into the curb this morning when I parked (forgot how low the car was) and luckly I had the clutch still in so I just bounced right off ( was more at a crawling pace anyways). But if I had a complete fiberglass bumper, it might have left a small chip/dent.

Mine is fiberglass and it may be the last one I buy. It's gone through bloody Hell.
