You'll have that trailer OVERFLOWING w/stuff before you know it and you'll be curseing yourself that you didn't get a bigger one.
Just so you know..........IT NEVER ENDS!!! EVER!!!

BTW.........your car looks AWESOME.

BTW, you need to post more pics & list what all was done to the car, before I go crazy..

Are those CCW C140 wheels?
What diffuser & exhaust are you running?

Looks like it. Same as I have. I run mine street and track and wanted centre caps. The C14 didn't allow for them and the C10 wasn't released yet. Wish I had the C10s... so much lighter it's crazy!

Well I have been around racing my whole life. I have seen a couple things that have stopped or slowed down a racer.





Good luck and remember racing can lead to half your cash gone, and living in your trailer. And damn it be careful.

I just ordered those C140 wheels in black, as I wanted to run them both on street & track. Didnt know that there was a weight difference between C140 & C10 ohh well..

Thanks for clarifying
