Default bling bling yO!

well, i finished getting my civic ready for topeka (solo 2 nationals for those of you who do not know ) check out the blingage...

Keizer 15 x 8.5 wheels

good shot showing the rattle can'd hood and fenders ( i got sick of people coming up to the hood touching it saying "der, look how thin it is, der...."



and for some odd reason, i really like this pic...


hope you enjoyed my bling, come back soon, ya hear?

lol.... my dry setup is a 225/45-15 a3s03 hoosier all around. same tires front and back, although the rear rims are 7". i have to get pics, but the difference between the 8.5" and 7" with a 225 hoosier is about 3/4 of an inch contact patch. the 8.5's do not pinch the tire like the 7's do. oh, tunes, thanks. hopefully i can prove what n/a power can do

Good luck in Topeka

Car looks gnarly. The rest of it is uber clean, the front end looks evil though. Who knew a race car could look so good washed?

Fast car for a fast driver... My prediction...Rodney will place top 10 at Topeka. He will be in SM, check the results.

thanks spence. the turn in was much better than anticipated, it will take some getting used to. i should have installed the wheels earlier in the season, but i guess that is just the way the ball bounces... jay (my co-criver for the event, and my co-driver for topeka) did extremely well, so my guess is he should place mid pack at the very least.

thanks dick.... j/k, i had to listen to his mouth the whole ride home (short version: spence was working timing, and he gave one of my fast runs to my co-driver, basically putting him in a trophy spot ahead of me) no biggie spence, you just wait till i get my grubby hands on the computer....
