Went for a ride to the Sequoia's. Tried to get a pic showing just how big these trees are.




Wheels are plastidipped. Don't really like the look but going to leave them like that for now until I get them repaired and refinished in a dark grey.

Welkom terug!
Must be awkward to drive RHD in The Netherlands.

Went to the Indy 500 this year...

...the right way - in a caravan of cars with a police motorcycle escort!
Sorry, bad iPhone photos from the following car.

Your rear looks even higher than mine as compared to the front of your car. I am going with coilovers in part to help fix this.

I took the Aston to Eurocharge Orlando for a dyno tune. They worked with Jerry in Houston to get it dialed in. The car is much more responsive and has more torque throughout the rev range. It also has the max rev moved to 7700.
My car is a 2008 with the 4.3 engine. It has the factory power pack, KH 200 cel cats,an X pipe and a Quicsilver sport exhaust. Waiting for Redpants dry filters.

Thanks! It's a bit strange and parking garages are a nightmare but other then that it's not too bad.

Looks great! How much weight did your set up save? I saved 6.5lbs per corner with Michelin Super Sports and the BC Forged wheels. The brakes must have saved another few pounds.

Haven't checked everything just yet. My scale in the garage gave up. What BC wheels did you go with

Those look great!

Just put the RZ05 on my grey car. They're going to go on my red one but wanted to do a test fit to get some height measurements.



Also did a bunch of maintenance, prep, and inspection on the car to get it ready for Lime Rock in a couple weeks!

I really like the splitter on the front. Do you sell it and if so for how much?
