New wiper blades, rotated the tires and a little MS tuning.

Is my car the only one that makes no sound when spinning it's tires? I'm wearing my rears out at twice the speed of the fronts but never leave marks. Spinning tires or stepping the back out is silent, aside from motor / exh sounds, tires are falken 912's.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing but my truck has a torsen and chirps on most corners unless going slow or not accelerating through.

Started priming the bay for paint. After first coat dries, going to do one more then paint.

Should be done today depending on how long it takes for this junk to dry, it's hot and dry today so I'm hoping quick.

Also going to start assembling the front subframe, hoping to start fitting the engine for the harness this weekend. Will have a lot more pictures tonight in my build thread
