I usually don’t like 19”s, but those are perfect, great stance too!

Picked up my car from the shop and cleaned it up nice....Getting it ready for first track day May 17. Last two got rained out. I know many don't like speed yellow but I just can't get enough of my car.

Washed and waxed mine this weekend. I haven't taken it out of the garage since I finished waxing it, but I think it looks pretty good. I think I'm gonna switch out the scuffed SportDesigns that are on it for the freshly polished Fuchs knock-offs.

Default Clean-up radiator and grille installation

Today I cleaned my Radiators. Amazing what there´s in it.




After cleaning I installed my DIY grille

I haven't put them back on after the cleaning, but here is from a while back. I think I need to get some center caps in black to match and I need to get the wheels on and some pictures in the sunlight, maybe with some mountains in the background.

Well, did you still beat him into the corner?

Wink Gil's Cleanup after Track Day

Washed the cars I abused at Laguna Seca Raceway. The C4S still cleans up nice after a hard workout.

As I posted above a few pages ago, I replaced my engine mounts with OEM. Prior to the swap, the gap between the bumper fascia and the pipes looked like this:

Now, it’s not much (if any) different. The left side has a 1.5 in. gap and the right side is 1 in.

My previous Carrera really sucked them up tight to the chrome trim. Possibilities?

Thanks in advance as always.
