my dangerous forced induction thoughts are returning...
taking her to Pennsylvania and back so maybe that'll satiate me for a little while longer...

Three Wheelin'
I removed all the bits needed to get under throttle body to attach the last replacement vacuum line. I am not sure how much improvement is due to the vacuum lines and how much is due to the LR boost enhancer, but she is definitely feeling faster

So, finally got all of these tasty BBS RS in my living room courtesy of Ritzblitz - 16x9 16x10's - and here's the stack of tyres too. The more astute of you may not that the tyres are narrower than the rims. There will be a bit of stretch involved.
225/50 Toyo T1R up front, 245/50 Hankook 405's in the rear. Wonder if they'll fit under the car..

I got the wheels back from the tyre place tonight. Don't look tooooo stretchy - the sidewall still looks ok.
Toyo's are definitely shorter, even with the step up from 225 to 245. So I'll be running a bit of rake until I crank down the adjusters.
They look frooking gorgeous in my most humble of opinions.

Drifting
Broke in the new brake pads and rotors (flushed out the fluids), installed the new Weltmeister throttle cam, washed, clay bar, waxed and covered in the garage. All this by 2PM. I need a massage.

First time since I have owned it I took it to someone else to wash and detail. Have no time to do it myself and I hate looking at it so dirty.

Make sure you book after October, tickets are expensive to NZ right now due to the rugby world cup. Oh and fly Air New Zealand (the best airline in the world). And visit Drift A 944 on the way past - he's got a much more serious stretch on his 944.

Sheep, hobbits, a manageable national debt... 
Fitted them up today, and I think that the next fitness inspection could be a bit interesting. The rears just tuck inside. Going to roll the lips flat, muttering a few prayers. The front rims are maybe a bit outside the guards, although the tread is inside. I might have to try a fraction more camber, and weltmeister springs up front to drop the car down a touch.
Car definitely needs to be lower... not a lot, just some. Have taken a lot of weight out and now it looks a little surprised.

Mounted the GT carbon fiber wing to the IFC hatch. I know, I know alot of you hate the IFC hatch, but I love it. And the thing also helpe keep the interior of the car cooler.
