      One, what sort of jack stand placement was demonstrated in the picture on page 101? Two, it's interesting that actual listed prices for components, not accounting for inflation, have stayed almost the same over 30 years.

      Good upload!

        Pretty neat how far we've come when it comes to cornering; from 0.8g stock to 0.91g. Gotta love modern tires.

                    Those radar detectors better come with that sick pair of aviators! especially if I have to wait 6-8 weeks for shipping.

                      Do you not put them on the frame rails?

                        Looks like they have it on the outer "jack point" corner

                            I have not seen these BBS before. Are Ronal LS a 7.5" copy of these?
