Going all out = more costs down the line too. I might as well jump up to 20's since the price of the tires will be less than 19's!

my rode mic is coming in tomorrow. i will give it a shot plugging it into the gopro if it improves anything as there is a guy on youtube that appears to like the rode + hero2 combo. i got the videomic pro which is a stereo shot-gun mic.

i made the mount for the recorder too just in case i can't isolate the pedal noise when my shoe contacts them by using the new cupholder mount coming soon. i can rotate the mount on the rear bar, which is nice.

i may mount an adapter and put camera #2 facing the rear. many options.

or just get spacers and lower your ride. that alone will make it look nicer. i will note that the car looks fine if you get the right offsets on stock ride height.

yah, dont bother with re-using stock tires. just get the right wheels and tires you really want pint, and keep them for a long time.

my G's wheel/tire is 1300 per corner. but ive had these wheels for like 7yrs now. tires have been re-wrapped a few times.

Good morning Brantly.
I'm guessing you'll be laying low at work for a couple of days. It's all good. We all make mistakes.

Hello Steve Have your work days mellowed at all?

Mr. GaleForce, this one's for you.

Thanks for the pictures Jar. It looks great. I'll be putting it on my engine dress up list.

Hello everyone.
Good afternoon Mr.kenchan. I have been very busy here. Just getting to log on now.

Z related, I have a Stillen license plate bracket to install. And I'll be removing the front bumper so I can try to get a better fit with my front lip. Oh, and I'm still on the hunt for a body shop. I'm at the point now where I just need someone to clean it up and spray it. I can look after the installation.

I'm for that if it fits with the sizes mentioned above. This is what I prefer to buy my PSS at since they aren't too bad on the pocketbook.

Sounds like an awesome set up.

Thanks for doing the ground work for me. You'll have it all figured out and I'll be good to go once I get my GoPro at fathers day
