Winter Plans: - CCW 18x11 & 18x12 Classics w/ Hoosier 315/30-18 & 335/30-18 A6 Tires for AutoX (purchased) to replace cheapy 17x11s- Corbeau FX-Pro Race Seat w/ Custom Side-Mount (to mount it as low as possible for helmet clearance)- Phadt Engineering Coil-Overs- Phadt Engineering Adj. Sway Bars (the larger model)- 'Vette Brake Products Poly Bushing Kit (purchased)- Re-Align (more aggressive) and Corner-Weight w/ Alignment Locks I think that should do it for now. 😉 -TJ ---

I don’t have a problem with that already. Paige Mill is a very tight road and really doesn’t give the bikes much of a chance to use their lbs/hp advantage. My car will out-brake bikes and holds a huge advantage in the tighter corners. Higher-speed corners it’s closer, and long straights I get walked (hell, even most 600s these days can walk a 450rwhp 3100lbs car). -TJ ---

I chased my buddy with R6 down Paige Mill in a Wrx that was some of the best driving ever… I can’t say I disagree! There’s tons of other great roads in the area too. Literaly dozens of others that are on the same level as those two! -TJ ---

Well I got the 'Vette Brake Products poly bushings installed… what a BITCH. I replaced the bushings in all 8 control arms. While I was at it I threw in new front hubs. I started fitting up my 18x11 & 18x12 CCW Classics I got for LG’s son… well they came w/ huge front spacers. :madfawk: so I had to pull the front end back apart and pull the hubs off so I could press out the stock studs and press in some longer ARPs. All fine and well 'cept now I can’t run my :bling: closed-end lug nuts w/ the street wheels. Oh well, that’s life. It goes for an alignment tomorrow and it’s ready for the start of the season. I think the rest of the stuff (coil-overs, adj. sways, maybe diff etc.) will wait 'till mid-season. The seat does need to happen ASAP though. -TJ ---
