aha! It's finished! (well mostly)
My purple SA is basically put back together. I only had a chance to drive it last night before the muffler fell off (it has been leaking near where it goes into the muffler for some time now - I'm planning on buying a new one) and I planned on doing a little photoshoot today but it looks like until I get a new muffler I'll keep it off the road. Here are a few pics from yesterday.... Don't mind that goofy lookin tall kid.
Oh, and man - these tires are amazing. I drove for a bit last night, and I was going down a familier (crazy!) road and I was entering and exiting the corners faster than I could have on the old tires, and these weren't even showing signs of letting go. I was like, yeah, its probably gonna start sliding now...now,..maybe now? Nope. Stuck like glue - and I havn't had a chance to drive them to their limit, but I probably wont on the road....But I'm trying to decide what muffler to get.

Looking good. Just keep one thing in mind. Those new tires will not give you max grip, till you have driven about 500 miles or so. Tires have a mold release agent inbedded into the tread, that must be wore off, before they will be capable of providing their full potential for traction. Until that time, they can be a little unpredictable at the edge.
