it makes him feel like he can still call it a street car if he keeps 2 stock wheels on it.
anybody ever notice the nitrogen tank he keeps in his trailer to fill the tires with? :)

I got the skinnies when the car was not going straight. I just left the rear stock ones since I already had ET Streets in 16inch. To get the Weld wheels for the back, they come in 15inch so I would have to get new tires as well and also grind the caliper so I opted just to leave the stock wheels on and save some money.

Nothing wrong with that... And nothing wrong with using nitrogen to fill your tires..

Busted7 07-23-08 11:13 AM

Even in the back woods of Missouri we know about nitrogen!

Same kinda set up on the wheels Anthony nothing wrong with winning with stock wheels on the back!

usa won? but doesnt the "usa" team consist of many puerto ricans?

RoTaRyBoYz 07-23-08 12:48 PM

Team USA are all puerto ricans but because they live in florida and not in PR, that's the reason they're known as team USA.. Hope that makes sense

RoTaRyBoYz 07-23-08 01:13 PM

Ok ladies, I fixed all the pics...... They have been resized and all 890 have been added without editing so you might need to tilt your head to the side or maybe just put your screen on its side :lol:
not bad for my first attempt at a online gallery

Do you know who does the painting, that looks nice....... and different :)

RoTaRyBoYz 07-23-08 03:35 PM

I'm not sure, but last year I spoke to a fellow by the name of Raffy? who did the paint on sporty.. He said it took him 1 month from start to finish.. Sporty's paint job is very detailed, from far it looks like real CF

Viking War Hammer 07-23-08 03:42 PM

Damn, sounds like money............. forget about it :) haha

Anthony,nice metting ya again.I shat bricks when I seen that acura going into your lane,and from where I was,that damn semi was blocking the view so I didnt know if you got hit until I saw you come back around.I called Derek(with the 1st gen) real quick and I dont know why the hell I called him,but I figured I had to call SOMEONE that knew you!Anyway,great turnout,see ya all next year!
