It was a big day for the SVT...

[Tex]

Last night, I got it washed, and it was completely covered in dust again in about 5 minutes flat.

Today-

First, I took pictures of it for the first time in a while-

Next I drove 100 miles from Flint to Grand Rapids and got my new FSVTs out of storage. I got them on the car, and hated them for about the first 5 minutes, then I put 150 pounds of E1's and blizzaks in the trunk, drove around the block, and the suspension settled back down. I like the FSVTs, but kind of wish I had 225's instead of 215's because I think that they would look wider like my 225's on the E1's did and also fill the wheel well gap up a little better. Oh well, time for a new suspension I guess!

But then this happened on the way back from putting the winter tires in storage-

All of the sudden my car feels really old to me. Poor thing.

90k..pffft,youngster:laugh:
yeah..def'n needs 225's..and spacers..i hate the ways fsvt rims fit on the tour.

90k and she still looks good. I'd be happy.

I agree...especially on black.

 

[rouar]

90K isn't old. Just wait till it turns 100K.

When my Maxima turned 100K it just felt like an old car at that point. It's almost a monumental change seeing that extra digit on the odometer. The SVT is slowly creeping up there and will probably hit 100K this year.

The SVT looks great, especially dressed in FSVTs.

wow those wheels are tucked in there spacers would help for sure. hey man I am catching up to ya I got 87k as of right now.

Looks like my car does......I agree on the tire size, next set I'll get 225.....

You'll probably pass me this spring while I'm down in Texas driving the Jetta and the CSVT is in storage. I probably won't put more than 300 more miles on it before I leave.

Is it me, or is that FP tire a bit low on air?:shrug:

 

[boumacj]

Even if you don't have the tires you want the FSVTs still look great

I thought the same, but they are at 36 all the way around. I checked. It's the 215's.

probably if you see a ups driver in a sprinter van driving around the kentwood/caledonia area in the afternoons that'd be me, otherwise you might possibly see me in the svt mostly on weekends, hell I only put like 30 miles a week on my whip

Why? Did you come down from Canada this weekend? I could have, but I had (and still have) a ton of work to get caught up on. Did Bill get his car together?

Yeah I was there and I even started my SVT up.. Bill did get his car back together and it sounds awesome with the Sho-Shop y-pipe and Bassani.

What's the offset between the two? Anybody know? I was thinking 1/4" for mine.
