    I think next week you will have all your answers one of those is my plan

Not long after he ordered the parts we were sitting around at his house and he gets a phone call from a strange number. The conversation went something like this:

    Paul: "Hello?"
    Usaa: "Hello Mr. Whitechocolate, this is blah blah blah from Usaa. We are calling to inform you there has been some suspicious activity on your credit card. We see you have just activated it today and you are already almost at you limit. We suspect that you are a victim of fraudulent charges."
    Paul: "No, those were all me. I know about them."
    Usaa: "These purchases were all made by you? It was just activated today."
    Paul: "Yeah, it was me. It's all good."
    Usaa: "Good luck." *hangs up*

    I would but you can't fit wide enough rubber on stock steelies.

    Thanks!



    UPDATE

    Took the 4 lugs to Pep Boys for mounting balancing...







    I'VE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE


































































    They took real great care of the brand new wheels...











    Thick rubber for a muscle look and traction 275 rears





    Some lugs



    Premade exhaust by CXRacing. Iv'e heard horrible reviews but I'll see for my self.









    They came beautiful and well packed so, so far so good.
    Very cheap also.


    The BC Racing BR Type coils came in, 30 way adjustable, pillow ball top mounts, front adjustable camber plates, each coil is dynoed and then matched up with a damper of similar rates.



















    I didn't get the car as low as I wanted because the wheels are so wide, so I rolled the fenders with a wrench because that's the way to do it properly.





    happy so far




    Still trying to get lower




    Then the battery was dead so "rags" came in to jump start the 240



    In desperate need of a good fender pull action








    approximately that much




    found an official fender puller (the jack handle)








    making progress, still a ways to go







    It's taking longer than I anticipated to get the ride height and the wheel gap figured out hence the slow progress recently. I need more time that's not absolutely freezing outside to work on the car.

    The ride height will be fixed
    The camber will be fixed
    The rear will get patched
    The wheels will get paint
    The car will get driven





    Thanks for looking <3
