So…

New purchase of tires… Leads to new purchase of…

![http://wretchedmotorsports.com/images/2589md.JPG](http://wretchedmotorsports.com/images/2589md.JPG)

New tires combined with the lower offset of my new wheels + Shot rear springs dealer refuses to replace = FENDER RUB ☹

Pedders 5/16 raise drag springs to the rescue!

So my car looks like this now ☹

Thanks 🙂

ugh just noticed in the picture you can see my “repainted, color matched” door handle the dealer did for me after the stock paint started peeling…

You can see how good the color match is in the picture :eek4:

Thursday I got my Stage 3+ head back from GMS Racing Engines (Stage 3+ porting & polishing, competition valve job, 60# valve springs, titanium lifters, etc), along with my 12mm ARP Headstuds, gaskets, etc.

This should be in on monday or tuesday along with my new downpipe

Industrial Injection Silver Bullet 74mm

Still waiting on the new 3600 12cb double disc clutch setup from South Bend, and I need to order my ATS 3-piece manifold, and custom EDM injectors, along with HD intercooler boots and clamps so they dont blow off at 60+psi

At least Im starting to get the parts together …

Between the springs and factory paint peeling on a car that new, it seems like GM really screwed the pooch on your car. Do GTOs have a reputation for being like that in general, or did you just have bad luck on a couple items?

Well, there was an issue with some, with the door handles, something about the plastic handles not being primed correctly at the factory? not sure

Suspension is pretty bad on most, due to the bright person who thought strapping the car down HARD by its suspension for the boat ride, leaving it fully compressed for the trip over the ocean from Australia was a good idea.

2 major issues with mine are the front strut mounts are blown, and the rear springs are sagging, other then that, its not too bad.

what does him changing springs and wheels have to do with his car being bad from GM?

I’m guessing 3" makes up for deleting the original dual setup?
