AristoGW Whats up Louie, thanks for leaving a comment Hows the tricked out S14 coming along?

pxrlex The ride quality is 'ok'. I was already expecting to loose it when I got the suspension and stretched tires and larger wheels. I smoke in my car but the hand car wash I go to always shampoos my carpet every other week. I'm very careful when I do smoke and leave the rear windows and moonroof open 5-10 minutes after smoking so everything gets out.

The rears are 9.5"in width and are a 32mm offset with a 245/35 tire and the fronts are 8.5" in width with a 225/35 tire. 22mm offset WITH a 7mm spacer to push it out juuust enough. The Toyo Proxy4 tires are 'ok'. Thanks for the comments bud!

T.i. I keep that in the trunk at all times with an extra pair of boxers, dress socks and under shirts just in case I have to leave town last minute for business


New pictures tomorrow for sure

Looks Good, I don't mind the wheel color combo at all. I notice the FOREX book, I read that about a year ago. Are you playing in that market?

fstrnldr I know I hate the way they look. But I'm going to hold off, I plan on picking up a set of TT Supra front brakes and upgrade the rears to Brembos

GREED777 Thanks for the comment bud. I was playing in the market about 7 months ago. I attended their free seminar and purchased their software package after, installed it. I played for a little but my attention at the time and now is mainly in real estate flipping and automotive flipping. My mother and father still play but my dad just got coded and licesned so he can pretty much do anything on wall street now. How did it work out for you when you played?

Sooo I got a quick chance to take some pictures today. Some of the pictures are kind of blurry only because I was hanging out the back of a Range Rover while trying to take the pics. Well enjoy, feedback is welcome like always.

I like picture 5 the most

Car looks great with the wheels, and the PX4 Toyo's are really quiet tires, I put a set on my grandads S500 Sport and he loves them.

Thanks D2! I'm liking the PX4's, I usually run Bridestones or Yokohama's but I can't complain about the PX4's so far.

New pics added on this page..

Nice rolling shots!

That area looks so familiar. I'm thinking Del Mar, Carmel Vallery area?
