Changes for Next Year...

Ya man, exactly what I am looking for! This is really more of a discussion to try to keep interest going.

I have run my 85'GS since 2006
2006- only thing done was my motor was rebuilt just in time and hit breakin miles on the way there. Mild Streetport. I couldn't really feel a difference, very little power increase.- at that time damn near stock
2007- not alot done, changed tire brand to Sumitomo, I really like them, I noticed a difference right away in AutoX. Made a difference in the Dragon.
2008- Suspension Tech springs, bushings, Re-Speed strut bar, same Sumitomo tires, But got the RB intake with Holly and the full RB exhaust. That was my best set-up ever!
2009- GSL-SE Suspension Swap, Suspension Tech big fat front Sway and Rear Adjustable (Which I set for Understeer and It Is Totally Worth It!) It takes something serious to kick the ass end out of it

For the 14" rims, I went with the Sumitomos again, BUT, was in a rush, ordered the the wrong type, So I normally order the HTR Z (I or II) but somehow got the reg. HTR. My tires this year were HORRIBLE! But didnt realize till I got there. They Screamed so bad and traction was damn near non existent The combination of a seriously stiff suspension and bad tires sucks.

So for next year, all I am changing is getting the right damn tires! They have done great in the past, and looking forward to see the difference on the 14" and with the sway bars.

2010: So I changed my tires, fixed my cooling problem. But best thing ever was the steering rack with the quick ratio from Re-Speed!
1st gen owners! I cannot tell you how awesome it is to have this done to your car! I

I never turned the steering wheel past 90 degrees. It was super tight and no wonder steer! Alright, I'm done leg humping Billy! All I'm saying is its effing worth it! I am going to need a new clutch, and thinking about 5 letter tranny, so thats whats in store for next year!
