Started freeing up some garage space to make the turbos happy again. Not that this crew will be interested in driving a sofa in wheels, but I'm selling an 89 Rolls Royce Silver Spur...

Maybe there will be some interest....

Bought a "new" suspension setup. Stoked about this! Will have to see if I've got enough time to install it tomorrow. Otherwise I'll get it done in a few weeks.

Nice!

Do you mind if I ask what the going rate seems to be these days for a nice set? I have a great condition pair with mounts and rails that I might sell, mostly just to free up some space in my garage!

They look great!
I would say going rate is between 5k and 6k with sliders and depending on overall condition from what I've seen adverstised in different classifieds and on BAT. There's a nice set in Reno that has been for sale for a while at 5500 that I was considering, but the cost to ship me was unreasonable and I was lucky to find a set local to me.

took it for a spirited drive this weekend, and then crossed the 58,000 mile mark... Put almost 10k miles on her since I bought her two years ago... Love this car.

Replaced the spoiler rams with OEM. I decided to stick with the factory design. It never stopped going up and down but the slight moisture from one was enough to trip the light. If it lasts another 18 years I’m happy.

Start up, leak check, all the pre-dyno calibrations (throttle, idle, cam control, plenum control, etc etc) are complete, and the car is now running stable and smooth with all systems working as expected. Dyno time soon....

Can’t wait to see the results. Based on my engine, I’m betting you’ll see 900whp / 600wtq at 8000rpm and 0.8 bar. I think you’ll get 1000whp at 1.0 bar. This will be a record setting engine…

I am reminded of the line by the Trade Federation's Viceroy in the Phantom Menace...

'Now, there are two of them...!'
