Slick car man... question, and i apologize if the specs are in the build thread. The F14's. What offsets are you running?
Im on the fence on these or the Nurburgrings. Looking at the Invo 275/315 similar set-up. Mine is dropped by an inch.

Cheers,

I bought the F14's from Nine Ball and he doesn't advertise his offsets, sorry! Someday I'll measure them so I know!

No worries -- I'm talking with Tony now. I 'think' i prefer these over the nurburgrings. Plus i can get a wider rear rim with the right offsets, which will suit the 315's a little better

The correct offsets is what sold me on the F14's over the Nurburgs. Not only that but Tony is so respected around here that I decided to go with him just for that comfort feeling of knowing he'll take care of me and get it right the first time!

So I was reading a thread here about guys having traction issues under hard acceleration, especially a back and forth swaying of the rear end. Big Red does the same thing and I thought maybe it was due to toe rod bushings or UCA bushings or something. Come to find out that the BMR outer trailing arm bushings are the problem, and BMR has acknowledged it! o I went and ordered a set of Pfadt bushings and just did the install. BMR is developing a new bushing but I didn't want to wait. Here's a link to the thread http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=274767 and a comparo pic of the bushings. Left are BMR, right are Pfadt.

I finally got some of my under hood parts back from the painter, FINALLY! It took him over 3 weeks do do 5 fairly small parts but it's OK cause the weather here still sucks anyway! I had him buff out one of my Roto-Fab engine covers because I accidentally scratched it up when I closed the hood and didn't have it seated all the way onto the fuel rails! Here's a before and after pic. He did a real good job buffing it out!

I decided to relocate the RX catch can to the drivers side in the stock air cleaner was. It was too crammed where I had it to the left of the Vararam. The new location will make it MUCH easier to empty and it kinda fills in the space over there!

Here's the rest of the pieces he painted RJT for me. The catch can, fuse cover and connector cover. There are a couple more pieces he is finishing up for me which I will post hopefully next week!
