No Q,

the gap between the wheel well & the tire.

Just looks like a lot of space to me. Maybe he just needs a drop.

With that much wheel gap I would bet the car is still jacked up.

No. I'm still waiting for the sides and rears to be in-stock and then shipped to me. I'll get it all painted at once. I was planning on checking out your stuff to see about maybe going to your painter.

Just removed my rear seats. I'm going to weigh all the stuff I took out, since I'll remove the tools and spare tire too. Should make Sunday interesting to see what my times do.

I'll never truly know since I should be putting my spacer on tomorrow with the iso-thermal kit. Also, I'm hoping to have alot less gas in the tank. I'm just trying to beat my personal best and get more of a cushion than .03, so .01 would be better than nothing.

I was just being stupid, but with minimal weight reduction don't expect too much.

You should aim at getting a tune for your setup soon.

I'll probably go down to UpRev once I have enough stuff to make it worth tuning. Right now I feel it would be a waste and I'd need to re-tune a few more times.

When you install your spacer you'll be running what alot of us are:

K&N, Spacer, exhaust - a tune WILL help.

Yeah, that's a good point. I need to fix my intake situation first for sure, and I was thinking about HFC's. Tune wouldn't be until this summer though most likely.
