no issues, other than completly removing the outer lip, and "custom trimming the inners,
we ended up using 2 deg neg camber, 3/16 toe out, and 4.5 deg caster and it drive beautifully, unloaded it from the trailer in Redding CA and drove it 250 or so miles to Pleasenton for the goodguys show. on the freeway "the I620" worst peice of road i have ever driven on. the car is wicked.

i really wish i could tell you how we did at the challenge

but i can't untill the issue comes out in January.

Was there one driver for all cars at the challenge? Or did all the owners drive?

Car looks great...love the pics!

I'm bummed I made it to the show on Sunday too late to see this car. I hear I missed it by about 30 minutes. Looks great!

had the car out for more fun yesterday, hit a track day and got to run with a bunch of "Imports"

i doubt they like being called that??? too bad.
one of the local driving club had a bunch of fancy cars out a few 996 a couple new Ferrari's 2 of which expired during the day, one brand new 430 that drained its rad and an older 355 that backed into the concrete and destroyed the car!!

anyway we had 6-7 laps head to head with the orange GT3 RS and it was about a dead heat, very cool to see. the gt3 could not pass the nova it had a bit more straight away top end, and a bit better braking but all in all very close.
