OCT 25 2008 next O/S meet.

Yeah, bro...that makes two meets that I've missed. :no: Oct 25 lands on a Saturday. *goes to check schedule*

--been awhile but here we go:

14x7 0 offset Western Wheels
185/60/14 Doral

I am going to add more camber and lower the front end, before the V.

Installed the front bumper. --looks like I'm going to need more aggressive side skirts.

True, in a lot of them. I guess, I need to make time to do some real mods. And yes, I've been meaning to put page #s on the 1st post of all the updates. Thanks for reminding me. Reps:::

The white sr5 hatch was sold. --been replaced. :D

--picked this one up 3 weeks ago. Location is not at my place but the day before I drove her home.

Since I bought Larry, buffed and clear-coated in a few spots, lowered, rims, front lip, weber, and ganksta leanin' pipe.

--my new daily driver: '76 Corolla - 3 spd. auto

Thank you, Zero Garage.

Everything stripped to metal. Rust was found underneath a lot of the primer. Whoever had sprayed the car previously didn't quite seal it well. :no:

--need a replacement passenger door. But this will do for now.

:D Like one guy said earlier in the thread, a lot of the updates were just a change of rims. The major changes have just begun.

I agree with them on that swap. 100%, no doubt. --no 2nd thoughts. IMO, full-proof for an sr5. As for the bumper, :D it's doing a wonderful job collecting dust--a wonderful job. --considering the amount of difficulty involved in acquiring said bumper, I must save it for a rainy day. :D

:D --preciate the love, homie. I have, very much, grown indefinitely attached to it. I must pass on your barter. I do, however, believe you should sell a car to finish that ganksterness of a starlet that is sad--sitting in timeout. :D

I was at the shop tonight. Due to more ideas set in motion and inevitable implementation, I won't be able to drive the car for a little while longer. :cry: My excitement and anticipation grows evermore.

Thanks, man. The cam is from BRD and is being used with the sidedrafts. :goodjob:

--been a while since I updated this thread. So much has been done. --guess I need to catch up.

-FootwerksUSA.Com Front coilovers
-NCRCAs
-Custom front bumper guard
-Dave and I painted/pinstriped on the side "GarageZero.Com"
-the diff was welded but not anymore.
-exhaust all the way back
-Oil filter relocated, oil cooler

Thank you so much, John and Dave for all your hard work. We're makin' it happen, ByGod!

I have video footage that still needs to be edited. --guess this'll do for now.

The pics were taken by s13addict from 240atlanta.com at SoutheastDrift's Triple Threat over the weekend:
