10inch wide wheels/tires? rolleyes.gif
I mean... its not alot of power, but there is NO weight pushing on them. I can do 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and part of 4th gear burn in the damp. It doesnt hook up in dry pavment untill 2nd. I cannot wait untill I have 150 horses.. it will be INSANE.
I am getting some 13x8's pretty soon. Yeah.. 13's. Cause they are pimp.

I just bought 50 280,000mcd 10mm LEDs from a seller named lvehk on ebay so I will report back on how good they are when I get them.
These are way beefier LEDs than the ones we used on the Golf, they take 100mA of current vs. 20mA while running at the same voltage. they pretty much have to be run in series at 12 volts because a 1w 33ohm resistor is required for wiring 3 in series, and with 2 in series you can't really get a resistor that will work well for an inexpensive price. It would be almost cheaper to regulate the voltage down to 4.8v and run them all in parallel.

Those are going to be even more epic on the accent then on the golf.
We might have to go into business selling these...

I do not understand whats rice... Have you seen what it looked like before the paint? Hell we've shaved the attena and all the body molding, and going to finish shaving the mirror and finish the mono wiper. Non of that would be considered "rice" in my book. Rice is useless mods that do nothing for the performance of the vehicle. I mean.. a dam tree fell on the car and we had to fix the roof.
Oh, and before I forget... Its a dam race car..

Baaaad morning.. Freaking Fire-Fags ruined another fire truck, right after I had to go out and rescue it from the side of the road..
