I dunno...I thought I got a run of the truck. It wasn't on my camera.
I thought maybe I got it with Jeremy's camera, but I couldn't record anything with it because the memory was full. So, I dunno. I'll get some better ones of everybody at Pellissippi anyways.

SO...thank YOU for the song idea. haha.

There's so many Pellissippi events this year!! I might as well just get a membership. It'll pay for itself after like two events if the first one is free. I'm not sure what car I'll bring out next time.

man i found out today that my ac didnt work (prolly just needed recharged) but i went ahead and pulled it anyhow..and man what a difference on my temp it made it must have lowered my temps by about 10 or 15 degrees it runs much cooler now that more airflow gets to my rad.


and are any of u guys going to bristol?? i just asked my gf and she said yeah lets do it and camp there on saturday. im not sure shes in a right state of mind but she said okay.

Bristol when? I probably won't bother with the Bristol events. Too much gas to waste.

lol, yeah...just hookup an aftermarket temp gauge man, id trust something as cheap as autometer before i trusted any of the gauges in an S5. And yeah, pulling the AC not only saves ya 20-30lbs of dead weight, but removing the condensor unit from in front of the radiator does help drop temps considerably. I still need to get at least 3 gauges for myself, oil temp, water temp, and oil pressure...

Got both fenders primered inside and out, so come tomorrow ill wetsand a bit to smooth them out some more before hitting them both in the last of my semi-flat krylon, and chances are I might get off my butt and glass in the left rear quarter after I push it a bit further out.

meh, you guys can keep your turbo's, for being NA i still put down good times....with 100% stock suspension, which after i work out the body work will be the next thing i start monkeying with.

I had a turbo once, liked it, but didnt like the 12mpg and all the waiting involved. Next turbo anything I get will be a DSM StarQuest, at least ill get decent mpg out of something thats still in a RWD platform

Umma borrow your slicks next time Derrick! Not really... I actually wanna cut down my times with street tires. I know there's a lot of improvement to be made on my lines, and hopefully I'll be able to get used to finding my way through cones.

yeah, the tires really didnt help that much considering the road surface, all I did was even out the rear tires a bit and learn how much improvement the car needed. I was outdriving the suspension with the grippier tires....if that makes any sense at all...

man...this is gay...

Just did some measuring for the widebody. The rear can accomodate up to a 10.5inch wide wheel/tire and the fronts can take up to an 8inch wide wheel/tire with almost the same tolerance for hub-to-outer wheel well spacing...

It's a widebody and it can only hold 8's up front? That sucks. I hate staggered setups.

yeah thats what I was thinking, but then again you can always just run 8's all around and call it good enough instead of trying to fill that big of an ***.
