solid. I was planning on doing some camber plates. I'll keep updating as the project progresses. I really appreciate all the feedback.

Thats good info, maybe some other brand out there would work better.

You have flowbench results that show this? I've read numerous times that the sock filters are not as effificent for flow as a traditional filter or airbox.

Diamond racing steels would look great. 205/50/15 is generally what people run for 15" wheels, and those should work great for ya. You'll probably have to roll the back a bit though.

Well, I was hoping to update this thread with good news, but unfortunately There has been a slight snag....and by slight, I mean catastrophically large. Before I went to work today, I started the car to warm her up. When I looked out the rear view mirror, I saw white smoke billowing out of the exhaust pipe. Soooo, I'm assuming that it is either a) a cracked water jacket, or b) a leaking water seal between the housings. I could really use some help on this one. Its funny to think that last week, the only thing I had to worry about was a small exhaust leak.
