Dorito Fun

Finally got the Rays wheels on! 18x10 ET40 with 265/35R18 Continental DWS06 tires.

I don't care if it IS a Dorito, I like it.

Don't know if I could ever get used to driving one, though.

The idea of having to make V8 torque at 5-6K is where my comfort-level gets cranky; running where that thing needs to run is alien to me.

My buddy once threw me the keys to his TC for a 2-300 mile hop.

He took 'em back for the trip home, he was so disgusted.

I only ever tached it up when I raced, and never got used to seeing 7-8K on the street., cuz it made waaaaaay too much noise...:biggrin:

Haha, it's not nearly as gutless as it feels, but the torque curve is super flat so it's pretty much not-dramatic at all. Turbo rotaries are way more peaky, but they still like revs!

It really is another thing altogether, isn't it?

Gotta keep 'em singing...

New xforce catback arrived today. Threw it on after work! Pretty happy with it, only one sorta silly fitment issue, the stock orientation of the camber bolts is now "backwards" and I won't be able to get a socket & torque wrench on so the bolts will get flipped during my next alignment.

Seems way quieter in the cabin but a nice volume increase outside without too much terrible noise. Love it!

Pretty, for an exhaust system...

It's not the exhaust system I wanted but covid has that delayed indefinitely sooooo.... This will do! A bit too quiet and heavy, but meh. Fine for the intended use.

I noticed you used a moving blanket to work on it.

They're the bomb.

I've got scads of them.

Yep, they're amazing and cheap! I've got a few too

Yea......I like having a lift better
