Yeah, i'm a photography newbie. I have a decent camera, I just need to learn how to use it. I don't know if sideskirts are my style, but thanks for the input.

Yeah, the AEMs don't fit with the drag wheels either, and they have yet to prove to be much better in the braking department.

This engine will eventually find it's way into my hatch, but that will be after I can pick up an h2b and some other little things.

Nah, it's not phantasm, it's actually k-teller's store room i beleive, the picture was taken by Randy right after he finished building the header. But it does look a hell of a lot like their counter/case up there. Yeah, i normally drive my hatch (can be seen in the background of the first picture) to class and park in west lot, so if you live on campus, you probably don't go by there much.

Thanks for the comments so far

The Tein SS's are great on the street, but they're a little too soft for anything else. When I go to the drag strip, I'm probably going to put a rubber damper on top of the springs in the back to help my 60 ft and keep weight over those damn front wheels! lol

JasperDA9 you have PM
