"R" done R ight, there....

Man that is one sweet R !!!!!

Got IPD Sways on yet?

Go with the QBM adjustable endlinks, if you don't love them, you've never driven with them....

QBM rear brace tightens it up noticably as well, for very little $cratch.

How are the shocks?

all on the list.

i'm coming to a crossroads. i know larry did the same.

do i start working on the motor or go the way of suspension. i'm ok with both but, both could be better.

there's been people bending rods lately and i don't want to join that club. i can't lower my car to much because i haul alot of weight in the trunk.

Congrats, Mike, it is looking good . . . are those the Ronal rims you had on your other R?

And do those T-bolts actually clamp the hoses more effectively than the ordinary type of hose clamp?

My vote would be for upgrading the suspension, & only modest engine mods if you want to keep the car reliable.

btw, if you see an Aston Martin Vantage around Pittsburgh, it probably belongs to a guy from my line of work who is from your area. He was describing the car to me over dinner a couple days ago . . . if I convince him to bring it to Carlisle I may have to go myself, would be fun to see your saffron as well as his car!

Every time you post pictures it give me ideas.... Ideas that my checkbook can not afford.

Looks Great!

Where are the Volvo Letters on the grill from? a Semi?

and that tint is 35? I think that may even be legal here........
