Me not Jed, but he's running the same size tires as he had before, 275's.

New forged wheels are 18x10 (x4).

Thanks for the tip. Did you notice any improvement in handling after the PH install? Did you add the support bar too?

He said that his new position doesn't allow him to check TMS during the day. Sounds like a demotion to me.
I don't think he like's us anymore. The magazine photoshoot and turbo got to his head.

Kyle-Congrats on the new Shifter. So what are your toughts on it?

Jed-Can't wait to see the rims once they come back.

I didn't notice anything, but c'mon I live in the corn fields man there are no curves or crap around here. Straight on acceleration for miles only LOL...... I did not do a support.

Cool on the MGW! We'll be ready for it!


Boss decal looks cool. You have a 302, so I see nothing wrong with that. Now for those with 281's..

Looks awesome but yes it would be "poserish". JMO

Prothane's got here today. Washed the car finally so I'll take some pics of the tires tomorrow.

BTW-I'm getting $150 for the old tires. Put them up on Craigslist two days ago and I'm meeting some dude tomorrow.

Did you get the black Prothanes like you hoped for?

When you washed the car, did you do the 'trashbag over the Shaker' trick to keep the water away from the camcovers? Curious if it worked like we talked about a while back.

I'll have to double check that date.

Yup. With the company I ordered from all they had was black. I wasn't even expecting them since I never got any tracking info.

Didn't to the trashbag thing this time because I cleaned the engine bay. I've done a few times though already and it works.

Unless it's a funeral on the 26th it can be moved.
