Atta boy MK. A journal... finally.

You need to get your suspension done - just look at the body roll in your Auto-X pics I'm glad you have some nice suspension parts listed in your future mods. Be wary of just swapping out your springs... our struts suck balls. IMO, hold off until Prodrive releases their struts and pair those with the RCE yellows, or go coilovers right off the bat.

Anyway, nice journal bud Your meet pics aren't showing though.

Cheers, M

I liked the headlight pics I saw in the local thread.

I can't see the meet pics either (in this thread).

Your "angel eyes" are pretty subtle in pictures... I'm guessing you disabled the DRLs, or else you couldn't see them at all. I'll have to reserve judgement for when I see them in person.

You better get to work organizing another meet, I want to see turnout as good as the one I missed!
