Always wanted ccw classics, finally pulled the trigger on a set. They are 18x10 up front and 18x11 rears. Here are some crappy phone pics:D

Awesome. I've always loved the 3rd gen rx-7's. I'm waiting for a cheap blown up one for a motor swap. What is in yours?

Those wheels look really good on your car.

It has a ls2/t56 combo. You're almost better off buying a running rotary car and parting out vs. buying a roller imo. There are many options for these cars-lsx,2jz,sr20,sbf,rb26 etc, even bolt on turbo kits for the lsx.

Thanks for the compliments!

I took full coverage off the car 11/1, but it would be nice to have some quality pics from someone who knows how to use a camera (not me)...

I went with the hankook rs-2 that ccw has on special, 265/35/18 and 315/30/18. Would like to have them shaved if I can find somewhere around here that can do it. Wondering how they will work on track vs. the 255/275 ra-1's I had been using. Wanted to go with toyo r888's with a 285 up front, but the wife would have killed me if I had spent any more $$ right now.:D

I'll take some more pictures later.

Beautiful car. I'm equally impressed with the quality of those cell phone pics!

Idk if you remember me but I stopped by a few years ago to check out your old gsx for sale. Who ended up buying that car?

That setup is HOTT! The car still looks awesome Garrett!

So...I guess you aren't selling it now.... I thought that your brother had told me it was up for sale when I saw him at the Network on 96th& Cleveland a few weeks back.

Thanks Tim, sounds like I missed a wild night at the bar!!

I listed it for sale, but only had a few trade offers I really wasn't interested in.
Much like your gsx, I've been through a lot with this car and it would be hard to see it go.

Totally understandable man, it is in better hands with you than someone else IMO.

As for the bar, holy shit, you aren't kidding man! I wasn't expecting the guy next to me to get randomly smashed in the face with a glass, and slash his neck from ear to chin. He was lucky he didn't lose an artery, as there was already ALOT of blood from his gash that was pretty wide. Yeah, I ended up stabilizing the victim, having the police/ambulance called, cleaning up the area, and doing my police statement.

Nuts, would be an understatement for the random shit that happened....Up to that point, it was a very nice evening that I enjoyed talking to your brother, and a few other friends.
