The new wheels are pretty sexy edafe, can't wait to see your car all finished. I've unfortunately put my ls swap on hold and might not be doing it after all. Ls swap for sale? Good **** tho, can't wait to see fitted pics.

How comfortable are you guys driving hard or doing highway driving on your stretched tires... I do a fair amount of highway on mine, but I'm always worried about something happening.

I've done 100mph a couple times, but I'm hesitant to do it more often... Does stretching the tires increase the risk of having a blowout at high speed?

Al, you gotta know your roads. Don't go zooming through a strange area at 90-100 mph, you're asking for trouble. Keep the spirited driving on familiar roads. Going 100 mph is going to increase your chances of a blow out more than rolling on some stretch would.

Yeah, I'm definitely careful on roads I don't know. Unfortunately in this city, there are more bumps than smooth road.

was testing out colors, decided on the bronze.



Im peeling off all the silver vinyl on the S13, decided to go with a matte grey aluminum.

Heres my driftbox LS1 Rx7 i picked up to drift around before i go crazy. Im just going to rip the powertrain out, put a rotary back in it and sell it so i can finally built my LS1 911.
