Re: Muirsy build thread

It looks like you have a lot of negative camber on your rear wheels. How's your tire wear?

That's good. So right now, camber aside, it looks like you're carrying too much heavy weight in the trunk.

Re: Muirsy build thread

I think you should make some custom center caps Just get random blank ones and put a sticker/decal of your choice made at a local sign shop. (Should be cheap, just 4 2'' decals). Have them say "Muirsy" lol

Re: Muirsy build thread

Are you doing anything to it for the winter? Or you just gonna drive it as is? I'd assume you're gonna raise it?

Your car is real nice Muirsy. What size tires are you on? Did you have to roll your fenders?
