I had my new sparco drifts mounted with my same tires. I think I will get 50 series with the next set. less balloon looking. Overall I like the design and color, just not the monster truck status, eibachs going on monday on my next day off. Rota Circuit 10's in a 16x7 would've been my choice if I wasn't limited by that little thing called money.
Also installed my CF hatch garnish but it was dark when i finished so no pics yet.

Anyway what do you guys think? I think it will look real clean with the 2" drop from the eibachs.

Ryan, car is looking good. Is gonna look great with that drop. Two inches will be wonderful.
Kenmei thanks. I was very pleased this time around. Last time looked like poo due to poor priming.

No pic on car yet. I work 7am to 6pm everyday, so its dark when I get off. However if you go back a page or two you can see my old one. No close ups cause it looked like poo. It will give you an idea though. Looks awesome. Like a ge, only good part on the ge.

oil change
ecu reset
oiled/dried the k & n filter
re-mounted new battery

noticed my car is a lot quieter since i ginsu'd the window sill. (stupid window i apparently use too much causing the tracking to start bunching up. 2x to dealer to fix, still not fixed and no $ to pay out of pocket now)

gotta love a day off...finally.

I've owned two k&n drop in filters and they came with oil but was never sure what it was for or how to apply it. can you explain what you did with the oil? and what was the drying procedure

This is a kit. Can be purchased at auto parts store for about $10. Kit has cleaner and oil. LIGHTLY blow filter with air. Spray cleaner on allow to soak. Rinse with tap water. Allow to dry. Spray oil till red color comes back. Allow to dry. Hair dryer or heat gun will speed up dry time after washing, but use common sense dont burn it. Same goes for drying oil. Hope that helps.
