thanks everyone- mooty- I'll email you or zico a full size version of the original pics, and you guys can do what you want with them...

I got the full hood venture-shielded a few days ago- the brake pads are bedded in- and tomorrow is my first track day. I'm getting a rollbar and seats as my first mods sometime in the week or two...

Great pumpkin CJ.

Last I read was your euro-trip with your ordered GT3.

I go away for a couple weeks and you have a pumkin ... Congrats.

I know you'll enjoy and appreciate it.

my buddy took them from the stands. I was harassing that red GT3 until he finally let me by right there...felt good to showcase the awesomeness of the RS even on factory stock everything.

So, CJ, having had the car for what, three weeks, it must be time for new tires huh. Glad to see you're enjoying it!
Tim.

Like the front without those washing nipples, but how was the standard headlights at night time driving?

Yellow light or White light?

Thanks.

the lights are a bit yellow and after doing 165mph on the autobahn at night with xenons in the cobalt gt3...well let's just say at least the RS ones save weight. LOL.

I've had the car for a few weeks and love it. tires are fine- as I did at least 50% of the first 1600 miles in the rain and couldn't nail the throttle at all...haha.

the car is a beast, and I'm getting all the stuff lined up to have her really track-mode in the next few weeks.

MJ- going through big bend is great- WAY more mechanical grip than my 993, not to mention sharper turn in. can't wait for the camber, toe stuff, ride height adjust and stiffer bushings as my phase one next week. this is for sure the easiest car to drive fast I've ever been in.

following that is phase 2- the roll cage, seats, harnesses, some rear carpet removal and possibly a set of sway bars that are still in development from a reputable company.
