Rain slows me down to Prius speed

It's not THAT bad, however I know a person who suffered $50k worth of damage to his GT3RS when he combined rain and MPSCups, so I take it realllly easy.

Nope, the dyno I went to didn't work, need one with mechanically connected front and rear drums/rollers, otherwise the car's diff was getting all confused by the speed difference between front and rear wheels.

Will try again next week somewhere.

Greetings from MN! (Orient Red C4S)

Nice to see this thread is still around! Since I posted last winter, I added PSS10s, Champion RG5/PS2, a hardwired V1, and some Rennline pedals. . . and learned to clean, polish and wax!!

Gorgeous Color Jon. I'm looking at the same rims for mine and these shots helped a lot.

Love the wood trim as well.......very classy.....

Hey thanks much! As you can tell, I am kind of going for the luxury touring look rather than the racing look. I know wood is a little out of style, but I still like it. (I guess it's because I always wanted an E-type Jaguar when I was a kid).

I also like the rims. I had a chance to stop by Wheel Enhancement when traveling (they are pretty close to LAX). Nice to see a selection in real life.

booch, the RG5s are perfect for narrowbodies but they don't offer it in 12s.

check out the HRE P90s in 19x12s. peter@wheelexperts.com is a great help. they're only 20lbs or something ridiculous like that for a 3 piece wheel. not sure how strong they are, but they're gorgeous.
