Wheels are looking good, cold here too. We're getting hit hard by this N.E. blizzard tonight. Talking about 20"+ of snow by tomorrow, just when I thought spring was near! Oh well Lol.

You are inspiring me to take on TT rebuild and clutch, but not till next year.
If you measure from jack points: How high do you need the car up at front? And at rear?
Check out the Mighty Mouse Solutions catch can too. It is quality piece w unique features and good flow. My first time purchase, havent installed yet though.
I would not recommend "hardbar" or "vansteel" camber kit, i have that kit (Vansteel= Old hardbar inventory) and they don't fit the cradle correct. Ask me how i know. Vansteel does some quality stuff just can't recommend their camber kit w/o modification. The AMT looks like it is designed w proper edge/corner breaks to clear the cradle endmill full radius slots. Heck by the sounds of it you should machine your own camber kit!

You can see the chamfer on the back edge of the plate (no engraving) is quite a bit bigger than the front edge of the plate (with engraving) so that it fits properly in the cradle. Just one of those things we take the extra time to think about to make sure we deliver the best product available.

I looked at the Mighty mouse cans and they are sweet. A little pricey, but look like a quality piece.

I have my car front and rear from floor to the frame right next to the jack points measures 17 1/4". I would say that is about as low as you would want to do it. I'm average build as far as thickness front to back lol and it gets tight under there sometimes. Having the rear a little higher would be nice. the front isnt too bad except for the clutch quick disconnect is tight but that may be because of my headers. I say go for it, its not that bad. Just take your time and double check things.

Tires/wheels are mounted and been on a few test runs. No Traction control issues on my car. It kicks when I spin and never any other times. Engine and diff mounts are awesome! car seems alot more solid without the shifter moving around on me. Something cleared up alot of wheel hop issues I had last year. I know worn control arm bushings sometimes cause that so I will be replacing them to prevent that and deflection.
In these pics I have aluminum lug nuts. They were cheap and look cool for pics, but will be coming off soon for a set of Katech Ti pieces. I dont trust the aluminum ones, they do look cool though.
I wanted to do a cam this spring and all supporting mods for that, but I cannot stand the quality/fitment of the OBX headers the previous owner put on and will be swapping those for LG, Kooks, or ARH here shortly and then maybe a cam this summer.
I am gonna ask my tuner if I can get a dyno with the OBX headers/no cat mid pipes and another with the LG motorsports headers to compare the power difference. I'm curious of that and they are right around the corner.
