Traction is via - a set of widened wheels increasing backspacing 1" on either Mickey Thompson P265/40R x 18's or Nitto's P285/40R x 18's drag radials with 20 psi of air. The 265's fit and after changing the struts the 285's may fit also - I will find that out when the car comes home.

I wouldn't expect less. I am excited as anyone to have a video done. I have to have shots taken on a walk around for the magazine shot and insurance company so they should be coming not too long from now.

wow, i wonder what insurance would be for a build like this, im assuming it wont be your daily driver? lol
#15
You are right this is not going to be a daily driver - but it is a street car. And there a lot of insurance companys out there that will insure it on the premise I only drive it for pleasure. And what else could I get from this car but alot of pleasure.
