its going pretty well....waitin for the weekend - ZDAYZ at the Dragon - We will win our class this year damnit!

Hows it going with you?

got a question: two actually:
1. How in the heck did you all get the tires on those nismos? mike said it took nearly 100 psi to get them on the bead?

2. Did u align after you mounted the tires or before? they quoted and said it would take 3-4 hours?


lol

it was nice meeting you and mike. the car looked sick in person. definitely jealous of the jwt especially since my buddy just got the 700bb's. sorry if i was pushing too much on the way back from the dam after the pics, it got pretty exciting. im uploading my pics and vids right now and should have them posted in the next day or 2.

I got to check out your car at Zdayz. Looks great (I'm not a big fan of black rims, but that is a personal preference).

Did you drive the car hard on the dragon? I think a TT car is a tad much for the terain there, but fun none the less.

I drove the hell out of it when I took my Mini Cooper down there 2 years ago, but with the G I guess I just didn't feel very safe. Too much power, too big of a car, and too narrow of lanes.

I guess though, in comparison, I probably made it through in close to the same amount of time as I did in my Mini, but the difference was I ran the **** out of my Mini, and I barely got on the G.

How often to do you encounter big 18-wheelers on those roads? I saw from some pics http://www.tailofthedragon.com/dragon_trucks.html that they cause big problems on such narrow, windy roads like the TOTD. Ever have any incidents up there?
