  1. Love the modular concept that leverages the PS across several amplification platforms. Smart and efficient IMO. HS
  2. Agreed...ENKEI has been around for dog years and has proven itself on and off the track. For the longest time what I saw was they focused on the imports (read: predominantly Asian makes and smaller cars that are smart for road racing at least here in the U.S.). They've expanded and are now offering larger wheels which is a very cool option for those of us with big gals... I run 20's on the street on my plus size girl. I had to go with 19's for the standing mile stuff as the Hoosier R6 was the only real game in town with any traction that could handle the speeds, provide some traction and pass tech. Now there's a Hoosier R7 but I've still got a lot of life in the R6's so I haven't tried them yet. These are the 19's I had Forgestar make for me a few years back... These are the new street shoes I just had made. Installed last month... HS The weenie rear brakes are my drag race setup so I can get a 15" wheel on for a big sidewall tire....me no likey but they get the job done. The StopTechs I use for the standing mile are sooooo much better. HS
  3. HRE's are nice but they're proud. You might want to have a look at Forgestar's rotary forged wheels. Great value for money. Weight is right, you can get them in a variety of colors, sizes, lug patterns and offsets, and I've run them up to high speeds in a heavy car...they're sound. I use them for my standing mile runs and recently bought a set for the street. Best of luck. HS
  4. It's amazing what a good wheel repair guy can do. Not sure if it's worth the climb for you, but might be worth a call or two. HS
  5. Curious to see what comes together in Dallas. Not far off from me. HS
  6. All too easy to do. Sorry, man. HS
  7. Very easy to do. One wants to get the car out of harms way and without a bit of rubber relief to act as a cushion...ouch. HS
  8. Beautiful car. Someone needs a curb feeler... HS
  9. HS
  10. The Ford GT is major boner material.... HS
  11. Wow...some amazing productions. Holy Thursday is amazing to my ears. So much in one tune. Was not know this gentleman's work so thank you for sharing. RIP, Mr. Axelrod. HS
  12. Something tells me that is going to leave a mark, Arthrimus....on my wallet. Cheers for the recommendation. HS
  13. I've been thinking about some logical setup to help my aging eyes with the finer work. Was thinking perhaps a jewelers type setup or something but have not investigated anything seriously yet. HS
  14. Good stuff, congo. I like the look of the Hakko micro handpiece / pencil. Might have to spoil myself with one of those. HS
  15. I haven't a clue. He has a video where he describes all the parts he uses as I believe he receives many questions. It's over an hour long... HS
  16. Very tidy! HS
  17. and he definitely does not hold back on opinions...no inside voice...LOL Thanks for posting, congo. HS
  18. I watched part of Rossmann's video soldering a chip on a Mac or the like...damn. Soldering free for all. That man doesn't play. LOL HS
  19. RIP, Sir John. For some reason I always recall his performance in The Hit when I see his name. Twisted story line and exceptional acting as usual. HS
  20. Wow...I had not heard that theme song in a good long while. Major flashbacks to my formative years. RIP, MTM...you will be missed! RIP Maggie and Butch. Not much of a pause from 2016... HS
  21. That RS is sexxxxyyyy. HS
  22. Oh no...I hope your mom came out OK. We had several of them in the family. Started with 240's in the early 70's, Weber carbs and all. I think they really became great cars with the addition of the Bosch fuel injection and overdrive....fun and practical. Hard to beat the lines on them short of a Jag and that's another game altogether. HS
  23. Thank you, Gents. Sincerely appreciated. I have my fingers crossed for the boy. He is a 17 high school kiddo but truly means well. Off to college later this year which will be our first out the door and a serious adjustment for the family. I wish I had the pleasure of having met many of you in person as I expect my friendly banter is probably lost in translation. I do intend it to be in good humor. The only car I have left with an old school clutch is my little 1978 Datsun 280Z. Just like the one I drove in college except this one only had 4 speeds and my original girl had overdrive (5th gear). I bought it to teach my boys how to drive a synchro. Fortunately my oldest son truly enjoys it. Number two is TBD. He just turned 16. The Challenger used to have a 6 speed Tremec but I couldn't keep it alive with the increases in power. Shame really. HS
