Gave me a great deal the Tial 44mm MVR wastegate!

January 27th, 2012 - Not much update... I got my new tires the other day and just dropped them off this morning to get it mounted. There is only one place in Bham, AL that I would let people touch new wheels... and only because they have the right machine to do so... Corgi Artiglio Master and Hunter load balancer. This shop also uses special weight for your wheels.. expensive, but worth it!
Wheel Spec: The New WORK CR Ultimate 18x9.5 Front and 18x10.5 Rear
Tire Spec: Toyo Tires, R888 - Front 255/35, Rear 295/30

February 12th, 2012 - Not much update as I been spending my spare time trying to get my old house in order and put it back on the market. Some idiot kicked down my door to the garage and I had to get that fixed and been painting the interior to update the house a bit... This housing market is killing me and I need to sell this so I can dump it in to this project.
Anyhow, Only car thing I did since last update...
Put these Mazda posters I had (for about 7 years) in my garage..
And got my spoilerless hatch painted MB and mounted (pics later).
