    I like it !!! No matter how carefully we measure, it is always a surprise when we finally drop it down and take that first ride. There must be some formula to nail it the first time, but I haven't found it.

    Your coupe is beautiful BTW. Love the color (and the stance)

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Denny,

    Very observant. They had a full 12 psi each. I kicked them up to 28, and gained a quarter of an inch at the pan.

    Bob,

    I just put a brand-new Derale pan on it. Not ready to spring for another one yet. Besides, I'd need one on the oil pan AND the trans pan.

    It's a shame it's too low, 'cause it looks great like that!
