Thats a pretty cool ride, a 9 second car... Anyways yeah 33's are nice, and I'm considering the 35's next. However since you are in the mechanical side of things... you should know that our stock rear won't hold up to them, and our front diff is a problem after 33's at best.

Any ways feel free to ask questions, most of us would be honored to help you out. And do you have the G80?

I could plan you a ten day trip to meet me in Moab that would take 2/3 the life out of those tires. :friday:


The Mrs. and I are working on some plans to dip the tires in the Pacific... the aim is most likely spring 2011... maybe fall 2010... still too many variables though.

Roadie & James... let me remind you this is an introduction thread not a planning trip, cough cough :finger:. Hhahah i got you guys! :excited:

Anyways just an idea for you, since you have a shop, or at least access to a shop, you could start making much needed parts for us... just a though.
