Wow Greg!
I know you mentioned you had some issues when I spoke to you awhile ago.
But after reviewing your thread (havent been here for awhile) I didnt realize it was like this. Im glad YOU have resolved most of and tweeked what needed to be done to acheive the 1400 miles so far
Do you send them the bill!
As they say, it may look pretty but can it..........

If you really see what the issues were - my main reason for being so po'd is that they were such niggly wiggly little amateur hour mistakes and f ups.... NOTHING that wasn't easily fixed with common sense (like the brake lights that were intermittent). One by one I just went through and touched her up. Now all is good. The intake manifold install done by the fine craftsman at S.A.R. was hilarious... I think I could do better work when we did that, at 16 years old, out in the backyard with zero tools, and zero skills.

Lol, I had to go back over twenty pages to find a pic of the car to see them! We need more pics!

Narrower tires would look nice, but take away from his driver goal. A couple or few of this year's SROY field has the little (M-T, I think) Pro Street style front runners, and looked really cool with them, but I did wonder about driving with them on the street. My little Saturn daily driver has narrow, low rolling resistance (LRR) tires to boost its MPG numbers, and they aren't too confidence inspiring. I plan to sacrifice 1-2mpg (guessing) for some wider tires and more stability/handling...

I fought this and the choices for the tires and wheels sizes.... and every time we came up with a rear tire size - we'd find they didn't have a front tire in the size we needed -- or vice versa.

I think if you saw the car in person you might see that they actually "work" okay. I too would have liked smaller fronts... and we even had Schott make the front wheels narrower than their normal offerings.
