When you get time can I see a pic of the 275/30 from the side? It's like to see the height of the sidewall.

Looks good Ed!

edconline · 03-26-2012, 07:36 PM

Thanks!

SPOHN · 03-26-2012, 07:47 PM

Thanks. Repped

I think I'm going to get 275 next. But I might go with AD08's just see how the run also.

edconline · 03-26-2012, 08:20 PM

No problem. I'd be interested in your review of the AD08's vs the RE-11's as those were my second choice.

Mike · 03-26-2012, 08:51 PM

AD-08s are awesome. On the track they have 90-95% of the performance of a Hoosier.

Brakes will be there day after tomorrow!

edconline · 03-28-2012, 06:32 PM

Got the brakes back today, they look incredible! Mike really does great work on these things, the pictures don't do it justice. For anyone on the fence about getting their calipers powdercoated, get it done! You will not regret it

SPOHN · 03-28-2012, 06:41 PM

Nice. Mike is very meticulous

wheee! · 03-28-2012, 07:22 PM

I'll give you $50 for'em! C'mon! Hook a bro up! lol

edconline · 04-05-2012, 08:59 PM

This just came in today! Now if everything else would just work out so this plate really applies to the car

Glokwork · 04-05-2012, 09:06 PM

Just stopped in to see the progress and everything looks awesome man! How are you liking those RE-11s?

edconline · 04-05-2012, 09:20 PM

Thanks! Re-11's are still sitting here waiting to be mounted. About a month out from having everything ready still.

Glokwork · 04-05-2012, 09:25 PM

I'm sure they will be great and those calipers look amazing. I'm trying to get a BBK then hopefully do some powdercoating also.

Update:
Finally back in the city, so work on the car can resume! Got the tail lights taken off, bulbs put back in (probably would have been best if I had remembered to put the bulbs back in when I re-installed them the first time

), put the door handles and side markers back on. That was no fun, as bad as it is taking the door handles off, it's just as frustrating putting them back in, especially since the two innermost plastic connectors will never reattach to the inside of the door once you break them loose. Also got the custom plate registered and mounted up again.

The other headlight should be back from 180 tomorrow, hopefully fully intact from the trip back! Need to get the headlights back on tomorrow and do an oil change while bumper and undershroud are still off.

Then later this week or on the weekend, need to get the new rotors, calipers and pads on and bleed the brakes. Put the tires back on, bed the new pads in and should be ready for the suspension install and alignment on monday!

Still waiting a couple weeks until the roads are all swept (and the snow stops for good!) to get the new wheels and tires on. Then the finishing touches will be the full detail and paint correction with Adams kit, and installing the harness bar, racing seats (when the second seat shows up) and harnesses.

Oh and once all that is finally done, a proper photoshoot (not with the iphone!)

Another toy that just showed up today!:
