Thanks and no, I am not looking at selling the wheels. The DPE's are for the street and 200+ treadwear events. The CCW's are for more serious autocrossing for use of the Hooser A6's.

Brian that looks killer. What made you decide to go with 19/20 combo?

Congrats on the Optima deal. We all knew you'd be there one way or another. :thumbsup:

I went with the 19/20 combo to get the biggest tire I could. Researching which size took way too long for me as the tire manufacturers do not make the large combo I wanted. One may make the front I want but not the rear or the other way around. There are lots of 335/30/18's that would fit my front, but they are too short for my rear. The 200 treadwear rule is the main problem. If they were 180 my decision would have been much easier. I am putting my faith in Michelin and the new Pilot Super Sports. 345-30-20 rears and 305-30-19 fronts. The rear tread is just under 13" and the fronts are over 12".

Post pictures of your wheels! The public must see them! I dont want to spoil it if its a surprise or something, but they really look sick!


Also did you use the Howe racing pitman arm on that box I bought from you? Been thinking about getting one, just because I have everything else band new, may as well go 100%.

Those wheels are to big but I understand why you did it.:thumbsup:

Brian,
Will you have your car in Wa or Oregon for any reason....ever? I just have to see it in person. It's hands down my favorite second gen period.

Are these "CAN" gauges? Will they tie into your Mast ECM?

I have been in the process of gathering the electrical and plumbing parts. Assembly has begun and parts have been showing up the last couple days.

The gauges arrived from Speedhut. I wanted to keep as much as the original look as possible.

The speedometer is GPS. Very cool features. The tach was mailed back to be calibrated for the Mast M90.

At this point, I do not know when I will be in Washington or Oregon. This year is full and I am not sure about next year. Thanks for the compliment. :D

These are not CAN gauges. I was going to use the Livorsi CAN gauges but decided to go with Speed Hut. The M90 has both ways to hook up gauges. It came down to looks over ease. The one wire deal for the CAN is nice. The Speed Hut gauges were more work to install with all the wires...but worth it for me.
