haha yeah i know. my computers been messed up so we tossed that one and got a new one...juss soo happens that it took longer than we expected. haha.

and the rims are 17x9s. not 17x10.5 forgot to say that from the begining. but what do the numbers mean...245/40/17, i know the 17 is the tallness of the rim, but how about the other 2?

245 means 245mm and 45 means that the side wall is 45% of the width which is 245mm

well, i think before i left i had exhaust, CAI, rims, rollcage, subframe connectors and a short throw shifter..

now i put on a 100 shot of nitrous [wet kit] and just today i got a pair of DR's and holy crap did they make a difference!

before on nitrous i ran a 14.7 @ 97mph

tonight on nitrous and DR's i ran a 14 flat missing 3rd gear.[:@] i swear i couldav had a 13.8. i was really pissed but ohh well. still had a good time!
