rota P45R eh? Looks sharp! Looks like you have a higher sidewall in the rear? What size wheels/tires + offsets did you go with?

18x 9.5 +20 all the way around.

toyo t1R's 245/40 F and 285/40 R (makes the rear look meaty as F*ck)

i wanted to run a 35 series sidewall, but since i have VDC i dont have an option to run anything but 3% of stock diameter. so 285/35 would have been over the 3% rule. im on the list to get these in 19's when they come out, when that happends im replacing the rears.

Sidewall Height: 4.34 in 110.23 mm (stock wheels)
Sidewall Height: 4.48 in 113.79 mm (rota P45r)

barely noticable..

Next year we better have a big carvan going to ZdayZ... it is SOOOOOOOo much Fun!

The videos were pretty F'd up.... all I can say is I was holding the red button?!? (Really really sorry Dil, in hindsight I should have double checked that the first video came out alright)

Zdays was a blast though.... the first annual airstrip event was an awesome time and will only be bigger and crazier next year; how often do you need to step back so one more plane can take off before you can line up and race.... even my N/A azz got to do about 8 runs vs. a G37 and a G35!!! Now I know Dil got some good video of my races since he was taping but probably deleted them out of anger. jk

Dil if you still have those runs post them up or send them to me so someone believes me!!! Plus I've found our cars leaving Fontana on the 18th on killboy.com and us129photos.com..... check em out!

i sense a hint of sarcasim

looks like you were right though billy. the 285's on a 9.5 inch rim do look kinda doughy from a distance. so i told the guy at belle tire that the car is throwing a VDC code and i need them replaced with a 275/40. he said no problem, come in saturday.

I know I might take some heat for it, but I kind of like the new SRT Challanger in person. I wouldn't buy one, but I certainly think as far as these "retro" cars go, it's much better than the rest of them.

I asked this awhile ago, but I figure maybe we can get together before the HPDE @ Gingerman Raceway. Who's going to the CGI Motorsports HPDE?

1. Eric
2. Jason (S2000)
3.

Rotas look awesome!
285's are a bit much on them, but hey you live you learn.

Dil-glad you had a blast and you represented the Midwest well.
Way to go Jeff....

Johnny-good luck at your track session, let us know your times.
Be sure to get some film of it, I want to watch it.

I am going to be doing my autocross/drift event tomorrow I am looking forward to it alot. I am sure I will have some video of me making an *** out of myself in the car to post up.

The new Challenger is WAY too big expecially for a pony car which is what its supposed to be.

Sven-good pic by the way..

edd it would work man , many and many people on the froums are running it . look in the wheels and tires section. your sidewalls are too tall.
