Your visible coolant in the reservoir is crazy green. We can get away with using water here for most the year. 50/50 during winter

ya i noticed that, great stuff that's only a week old.. Id rock just water but i would forget to take it out once it got cold and it would freeze
 
Glad to see you're enjoying your car, makes all that work well worth it. I'm going to need to start practicing my wash and wax skills, making me feel bad/envious.
 
Yeah, what give, JT? For a cat who now has a supercharged P5, you sure are quiet about it. I'd be like "Oh man, this thing is a blast and sounds so mean!". It's okay to be excited about it, we all are. :)

thanks, it just take time, patience and the proper products and everyone can have a properly detailed car.

so have you been hitting boost lately?

just starting driving it regularly this weekend and still driving it NA for the most part, till i get a few miles on the car to make sure everything is good. I still have an issue with my PS reservoir leaking so i have to get that figured out( might just go back to OE), so right now my PS is terrible.

Evan its only a car and something for me to work on and means to spending time with good friends. Its similar to you having the P6 which i would do if i had to do this over instead of the SC. Sure the SC sounds good and has added the bit of power i wanted, but same time now that its all installed its time to enjoy life and drive the thing.
 
still enjoying and driving the car..


great office view

^ rear height looks similar to mine now. Glad to see her getting out and getting some exercise

ya its much more comfortable, functional and fun to drive then last year, most of the roads i would avoid i can drive easily this year.. Its amazing what proper height and setting up the suspension properly will do.
 
Why not some more negative camber in the front? What are your camber specs right now?

But damn, that is one sex-ay pic right thur. So freaking clean and well executed.
 
Well, personally, I run my BC's maxed out in the front and rear. The front is -2.3 and rear is -1.8 IIRC. Toe in/out is what really chews up tires, not negative camber so you'll be fine on your tires. And it will greatly improve your handling even more with some negative camber. But it's your call, mate. Bill Brees and Marlon Sumlin (both race MSP's in Time Trials in NASA here in Ohio) suggested those settings for DD and the occasional track day.
