Now that I have seen plenty of pics, I do got to say that your front end is still higher than the rear. And man, you should probably go a lower profile on those rims. Seem like you are going 4 wheeling. I'm not hatting, I'm just saying

I would like to say congrats on the car. You've done a superb job on detail. That's a given. I personally am not feeling the wheels and flares. I know it's your car and if you're happy then that's all that matter .

What did you do with your rebuilt trans to get 4.66 final drive??

I think the wheels and flares are perfect and plan to do this to my GTX when I finally get my hands on it.

I would say all it needs a nicer wheel and tire combo. Aside from that, car is siiick!

About 800 pages back, I was talking about the wheels I really wanted...and had to settle on these for the time being.

As for the tires, the Direzza Sport Z1s are absolute crazy glue. Not R-tire glue, but unlike any DOT tire I've driven, at least. She corners like a dream.

I *may* step down to a 225/40 next time if I can find a friendlier 5th gear (maybe the Festiva one) as 75 mph at 4000 rpm is not a pleasant thought.

If anyone wants to ship me a set of 16x9 +15 Brock B1s from Europe or Canada at a decent price, by all means let me know

[DeeAOne]

how are you liking that radiator so far?

[Dan [Sac]]

No complaints, max temps I'm seeing are around 208* when it's 105*F outside and I'm sitting at red lights with the fan on. The fan is only using its own shroud (it's a Derale) so about 40% of the rad is not 'blown' during fan operation for now.

While cruising temps are around 190*.

So basically no complaints. When the M62 is going on, it will be either intercooled or I'll be using meth injection. The supercharger will be functional at 100% throttle (using a microswitch, like nitrous activation). That way it's power on demand, without being on when I'm driving normally. My very own 'push to pass' button
