    Thanks man. The torques that are on it now are stock offset, +45. I think the 215 tires make them look wider than they are. I'll probably run 5-10mm spacers at some point.

    Next plans are a full cage with harnesses, an LSD and some other minor stuff, but it will probably be a while.

    Here is one:



    It's kind of hard to take pictures of at night. Excuse all the crap I need to sell in the back.

    Maybe if you tell me what part of it you want to see exactly, I can take some better pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

    Car looks great. I dont know how you deal with CO with the salt and snow in the winter man. I lived in Lakewood in the winter of 09 and it was too much for me to handle having to wash may car every day it was over 32 lol, but again the car is nice.

    Thanks guys. Yeah, I don't drive it in the winter. I have 3 other cars.

    The weather here is really up and down from day to day though. We might have 3 feet of snow one day and 60 degrees the next. The worst part is the gravel.

    Hahaha.... The car is the track whore, so wheels are a disposable item. I've tracked a couple sets of Rotas over the years and never had any issues with them, whatsoever. Honestly, the DC5 ITRs were a LOT heavier and the offset was a complete pain in the ass (+60 vs +45). I'm happy to have Rotas instead.

    The kit has been on since 2008. I couldn't tell you how many miles I have done in that time, but I'm probably doing less than 12k a year. There's like 70k something on the car. The kit has been great up until recently. It has started smoking slightly under WOT and spewing a little bit of oil, so I think the seals are going on the turbo. I guess that's to be expected over time though.

    I'd like to drop the turbo pretty soon and get it rebuilt, but we will see if I have the funds. I'll remove and install it myself, but I want someone qualified rebuilding it.
