Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
this car still touches the front chin spoiler going up and down the trailer, it's low enough, I don't need some lowered ghetto cruiser that will bottom out my dual exhaust everywhere. Lowered cars don't weight transfer enough either.

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
so, what size/brand front tire did you end up going with? i remember you were looking for a street legal, taller tire. i too will be looking for something in the 26" range and will need a decent front street tire.

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
how do you like that jegster torque arm? i just put an non-adjustable one in my car. i'm going to a th350 and had the ta laying around. i'm alittle concerned about the length, it's on the short side. what's the best 60' time you've been able to pull outta that?

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
heck yea, they hold up the brake lines on the front for the tubular kmember and the air bag lines for the rear. I tell people the whole car is zip ties and duct tape.

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
discuss?? discuss what?? the fact that its beautiful?? the fact that your exhaust is very similar to my setup but i have no h-pipe?? the fact that you TRAILER YOUR CAR!!!! BE A MAN AND GET HER ON THE ROAD!!!!!! LOL just kidding.. IMO, i just find it alot more convenient to drive it..
when they say dont mix tire types on a car, they really mean it.. 235/55-16 street tires on the front and 14psi on my 26x8.5 slicks out back, i started swaying at half track.. like really moving around.. almost feeling like its gonna get up close and personal with the guardrail.. like xpndbl3 said, you have to be smooth with the wheel..

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
nice pic there, I should move that to my new sig pic
----------
actually drove it 300 or so miles on the street so far this year, those trailer pics were me taking it to a show about 45 minutes from my house and I didn't want the car to get dirty. Once you start breaking things at the track, you'll realize how "fun" it is to be tired and broken at the track when your 3/4 ton truck is sitting at home with a trailer just waiting because you're a "man" and drove it. Besides I get better gas mileage trailering than I do driving.

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
I always loved your color, I am torn between a similiar blue or white for my next paint job. I love blue and all, white screams clean, but too many people have white cars and my car is not an ordinary car.
$10k gets you were I am today.(Does not include price of car ) I am sure you doubled me even tripled it.

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
Should use photobucket to host pics rather then cardomain. You won't get that stupid tag in the corner of the pic.
Looks really good. How much was that torque arm? Can you use that with different rears or?

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
torque arm is for 10 bolt, 12 bolt, and 9" IIRC. $349 i believe for the adjustable one, check out www.jegs.com it's their house brand.
I don't feel like opening a photobucket account when cardomain is already setup

Re: 2 new pics that really show off the paint
mine is "set" a little softer than that at -1*, though i can't really do anything about it as it's an OOOOLLLDDD non-adjustable unit. my dad bought it 7 years ago, ran it for 1 season and went to a spohn. i got it for free, i hope it works well enough for long enough till i can get the cash up for a BMR Trak Pak
