Now time for tires 255/40's fit without rubbing right?

Just outta curiousity anyone know a good place to get tires mounted and balanced in the area? I have heard Pro Trucks in Murrysville was good?
Not sure how close it is for you, but Mike at baierl in wexford did mine and they were perfect....I will go back to him without a doubt.

it was kind of ghetto wingless though as I just had plugs in the holes. Cars gone now, but every time I look at that picture I re-think getting an Evo as a DD.

i had my first night on a drag strip tonight. it was a first for me and my car. my best time ended up being a 10.83. i was constantly getting faster until my last run when my coolant temp gauge started freaking out which in turn freaked me out and led to a bad run... owell the car held up the temp really wasnt high so overall it was a good night.

things i need to do!
fix my damn coolant gauge
bigger injectors
bigger turbine housing

it will be money after that and oh i guess some q16 would be nice too!!

cheers all hope to see you next wednesday night!

Thanks Eric haha! Btw you still owe me for that intake manifold I could use that 50 about now so I can get my wheel spacers

Ya the car still has much more potential and I need to get better at driving it. I see no reason why this couldn't be a very low 10 second car. I would love to get high 9s out of it someday to.
