Thanks for the pics... The tires look great. For 285s they don't stick out as much as I would expect. Should be able to post the pics from Leo's car this evening.


Phil, you'd get plenty of direction Bill makes you do all the work.... ask George

Hey guys having fun here at MacWorld. I saw the new Mac "Air" a ultra light weight laptop. I think I'll do a tower! More news a little later right now I'm in the Microsoft Blogger Lounge.

SHR Grille Inserts!!!

where's the write up?

Good news Leo.. Came well packaged and the finish looks to be powdercoated and not the cad finish like the website shows, it actually looks pretty good!

For you Leo..






















Here ya go!

Tire pics. I didn't have a lens on the camera to properly take the pics, so I gots what I gots...





Funny enough, if you look at the pics that Bill posted there is one about pics of the paparatzzi... I think I took my pic of taking the pic at
close to the same time.

Hey Jed! Sounds like a fun time at MacWorld!

On the homefront.. I went to Lowe's today looking for longer Grade 8 bolts, found them, but the thread pitch was incorrect.
I'll try another hardware store tomorrow.

Worst case, I can pick up the 3/8-16 bolts from Lowe's and get the matching Stainless Steel locking nuts (these are SS color; no Grade 8 locking nuts in 3/8-16).

btw, Pam said your specs look like 'old men' glasses!

That's not me talking... don't know who it is. You can hear him saying, "that's HIS problem"... so it's not me.

You think that whiney thing sounded better??

Actually, both sounded different in person... the camera's mic distorts the sound.

Brian- I think Leo's tires look more flush than mine actually. I'll be looking at getting the backend realigned Thursday. Might look at little closer to flush then.

TacoBill

Oops! I thought that was you talking.
Either way, a problem did exist at the time. Get the new updated tune yet?



According to your sig, you have an APB. Guessing you'll be doing the alignment, right?

habu

you know the more I think about it the luckier you seem to be that it didn't blow anything apart on the top end. There is a ton of pressure from the turbo to the plates then nada....Poor car was starving itself.

490 is an awfully respectable number. If you get close to that or more we expect to see some video, like the photoshoot.....

My fingers are crossed for you. It's great that it came down to something simple just a shame all the BS you had to deal with to get it figured out.

habu

remember he has the spacers too. It just shows me, unfortunately, that when I go with a bigger tire that I need to deal with the panhard bar or it'll all look "off" I was hoping that it'd be a non-issue. Hey, it's only money, right ?

Ray Man

Jed it looks like you have a forged Russian pass there.

Bill you crack me up!

Thanks Leo! I would love any assistance I can get, it will make things go that much faster. Do I need any additional nuts or bolts or do we reuse existing hardware, and do I need to bring any tools? This will all kind of depend on my wife's scheduling needs. I hope it will all work out time wise.

kh765

Yup. I adjusted it after I lowered the car, but I guess the new stuff messed it up a little somehow.

Not too much money though, especially in comparison to the tire money.

TacoBill

1st post today!

Nothing Mustang related to talk about?

LEO_06GT

Bill-All those pics of them in the box and not one of them installed?

The finish on the PH and PH support look awesome. Maybe I should have my LCA's PC in that color.

Jed-Pam's right those are some old man glasses.

Ray-I think Bill's got you covered on the tools. The swaybar delete uses exsisting hardware. You got the BMR one right? Make sure to bring some rags or something to wrap up the swaybar so you don't scratch up your trunk and back seats.

Tom-I think we need some vids of you putting all the HP to good use.

BTW-I've had a fever since last night. I'm feeling a little better right now but I should be good for this weekend.

I'm saving that install for Saturday (don't want to feel left out! )

Don't forget the swaybar.


Ray-I think Bill's got you covered on the tools.

We have all the tools (except for that 28mm wrench )
Good idea on bringing something to wrap that swaybar, maybe an old bedsheet?


Tom-I think we need some vids of you putting all the HP to good use.
Good luck with that request.
Everyone knows that all the great movies are made in SoCal.

Don't get sick on us Leo... your party plans are in full swing!

Yada yada yada yada yada Yea I keep forgetting the center of the universe is SoCal, I just keep forgetting that Jus kidding


Be nice to the rest of us NonCal guys, our feelings are easily hurt. Although there seems to be a nice contingent in Florida (Right Coast)

NYNY53

Hey Jed I think the glasses look OK, if thats the look you want I can respect that

OK OK just kidding again Jed, ignore your pals

kh765

I think someone needs to make the move over here. Then we could really have a clan.
