Looks good Mike!
Got my 18x5s in today but they were Gunmetal Grey instead of Matte Black, Jake is having more sent out to me, so another week wait, but its all good. I still need to get my Haltech on and tweak the tune some since the headers and wideband went on. Car is WAYYY rich... running .79-.83ish lambda at wot. Gotta lean it out and get into the .87 range.
Can't wait to see how it does at the track with the headers and leaner tune along with some lightweight skinnies up front

All looking good. Let's see how the track likes these combos. Haven't raced in years and want to enjoy this car, and not beat on it, but I'm ok with having some fun at the strip.
Have to learn how to drive the GS on the way to the strip. lol Haven't shifted this car north of 6K yet.

Vibe should get my rears drop shipped today from Scummit.
Now it's just a waiting game.
My first time out next year will be with the new wheels and tires only.
The plan is to swap the air filter and TB back to the stockers so we can see just how much they are worth in terms of ET.
Rob.......is your car equipped with the manual trans?

Yeah, M7 Grand Sport. I'm hoping to take a few passes with stock fronts then skinnies to report any findings and differences.
Really need to test this year since I know by next Spring I'll probably lose interest. Was headed out yesterday only to find out track was closed.
