My name's Mike Right now I'm impatiently waiting till spring, I've been autocrossing the car but hopefully I can hit up some track days this season. Just need to get some better brake pads, going with XP8's and stainless steel brake lines from 949. Here are a few pics

Hello Mike, I have the 949 SS lines and XP8s myself and love them. I didn't have to adjust the front lines a few times to keep them from rubbing though. I'm slowly but surely buying everything 949 stocks, at least it feels that way.

What part of Chitown are you located in? A couple of us are located up North. Diesel and I, just learned we leave two blocks from each other.

You aren't terribly far away from those of us up in Gurnee. You drive that beautiful car in the winter? I like the Black with Red Top Combo, btw.

The car doesn't get driven the whole winter, I hate rust. Thanks, the car is actually Montego Blue, I plastidipped the hardtop white for the time being (easily reversible). I will eventually get it color matched but performance upgrades always come first

Man, I just learn about plastidip and it seems like I was the last person to find out about its magic wonders.

I just learned it comes in more than one color! Can plastidip build my ms3 and harness for me?
