I don't understand. You can retension it in 30-45 minutes at SITM. You'll have a huge crowd of people who all can do this in their sleep. Requires minimal tools and time. And the 1500 mile number is a guide - you can go a bit longer if need be. Enjoy SITM. I wish I could get time off to make the trip.

If you DON'T go to SITM - you will spending the next year crying every time you read a SITM story, or see any of the pics. Listen to Bill. Where BETTER to re-ten the TB then a gathering of THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE & EXPERIENCED group of 928 minds in the US?!?!?!?

well i got a call about 90 minutes after i posted that from my boss and i have to go to lybia on the week befor and week that i would have to leave for SITM so i now oficially cant go and my son has continued to tell me that it wouldn't be a problem for me to get help out there because there are tons of mechanics out there and they all seem to be very nice on ere but now i have to go to lybia but there is another run that the texas guys tell me they do in the fall from here to austin i dont know if this is a us wide event or a texas event! but ill go to that and my son should have his drivers permit by then so he can drive his 44 down with us! with his mom of corse in the passengers seat lol but here are some pictures and i will for sure make the next SITM run! here are some pics!

Rick,
Your car is looking sweet.

I have seen the car and can vouch for the great work Rick has done.
The leather is better than new and smells better than new.
Nice job,
Roger

Nice car...but don't confuse SITM with other local events. For starters, SITM is not a "RUN"

FLanderhol

OK...OK I am going all i have to do is get the sterio/radio done and corner balance done i have the sterio/radio system half done and i can finish it on saturday and monday (sunday my son has a Moto GP race) and the balence is being done next week sometime!

Rick,
Have you noticed a lot more noise from the back with the Bilsteins? Just put them on my GTS and while I expected a bit more crash and thump there seems to be knocking over rough surfaces. Everything seems tight and dandy underneath - just wondering whether it's simply the firmer dampers.
Great looking car by the way.

FLanderhol

I will be traveling with Roger and the guy! and it does sound a little bit louder because the suspension is harder and it doesnt move as much but it handles like a Go-Kart lol i love it!
