    Diamondschwarz/Alpine two-tone





    The car looks decent from 20 yards, because all the panels have been repainted at some point, but the roof, it gets worse by the week.
    I'm running around on bottlecaps right now, not much else is new with it, other than a better clutch setup. If I can keep the car pointed straight it will really scoot.

    Cheers,
    Stu

                  Haha, gotta love that factory racing stripe pattern that shows up after 20ish years.

                  Where's the Borbets, Stu?

                  And give me a call when you come back to town. We're long overdue to get drunk.

                    The borbets have shredded es100's. I want to buy track tires, but I don't know whether to go cheap and get 205's for 14's or spend for 225's for the borbets, or pay next to nothing for used azenis and basketweaves. decisions. The car looks a lot better with the 15's and I miss them, even though the car is loose as a goose with these 14's, almost as loose as with the LifeLiner tires.

                      I never realized your paint was that bad Stu. I think everyone would say the same about my car if they saw it in person too.

                        well stu's car was never about looks. I'd say buff it out but it doesn't look like there's any paint left! I'd at least put some black primer or something on there so it doesn't rust.

                        and you should see all the dents on my hood, I just got a new one a couple weeks ago when a windstorm blew a recycle bin into my car. Good thing you can't tell from 5 feet away..
