Spreadsheet had a glitch, so I fixed it and got some new numbers. I also updated the mileage and a couple new parts I just bought.

Nice. I had done that with my CS a while back, but it looks like you made out a lot better than I did :lol:

 

It helps when you never have to pay anyone else labor for the repairs.

Nice. You're as anal as me when it comes to details on stats. Glad to see the Regal is still around, and those wheels in your sig look awesome on it!

Thanks!

 

I need to keep the regal around to have a w-body to drive to our meets when I get back to Chicago, haha!

 

Only 200,500 miles, and virtually no rust. I have a long way before this car goes to the scrapper.

That.......is freaking awesome!! It's seldom I see non-stock wheels complement a car that well, but those just look like they were meant for the body lines of that car! Did you have to do anything with them as far as clearance? Any rubbing at all?

no rubbing or anything. they are the perfect offset. at 17x8, they're just the right size too. I too was amazed at just how well they fit. who would have thought audi rims would work so well.
