Are they 17" Fuch on that car John? Love the stance. Youll need to lower yours a tad with that new painted bottom valence to make the most of the look.

I'm 99% sure that they are Dynamic Speed RS Classic wheels.

As for stance, I'll just live with what I have. Been there done that and what I have is optimal for my driveway, speed humps etc.

They look 18".

Its all about stance John. I reckon you only need to lower it an inch. Shouldn't take a moment while your having your geo done. perhaps have it corner weight balanced at same time.If the car ever sees the track again it will definitely make a difference...

Talking about the track I have you down for 11 Jan RSG at HD (in Cayman R :-)). I assume thats with herman now?

It's not SUV height as is. I like the stance. In fact Herman may already be lower than the Red car.

Yes, Herman for the 11th

Good point. For some reason I thought it was higher. The red car may have 18s on it that give it the perception of being extra low. Or it could be a visual thing created by the body coded lower valence which is something you will also benefit from.

Ok re the 11th. I think that needs to be your target date for the resto. Gives you a bit of breathing space as well as a good opportunity to shake it down in a free style open track format before the festival in the 15th. Looking forward to seeing the finished product in the flesh...

There is a heck of a lot to do and work travel will take another 2 week slice out of my after work and weekend time so I'm up against it, but I have plenty of time to research items and my upcoming three weeks of leave gives me plenty of time to do those drop offs to specialists (shocks, carpet), access more tools, buy fluids e.g. Pentosin.

Then of course there is the sorting out stage, checking for leaks, ECU optimisation, dyno session(s).

Before all of that I have to work out how to get Herman up the driveway with no power.

You have three months, you'll make it...just!

You need to find someone with a land cruiser that has a 2 tonne front winch to park in your garage and winch it up with a couple of guys on standby to push it!!
