Those wheels are pretty cool. My brother picked them up from Japanese parts importer when they were closing their GA location. They originally had gravel tires(sold for $75!) on them when we got them. One is badly curbed and bent unfortunately. I'll be back next year with that car, turbo'd and hopefully with a bit more grip.

Yeah, the 323whp is in my signature line, not a reference to anything in this thread. I had a dyno tune done a about a year ago at a local shop. They told me that my car made 323whp and they would email me a dyno chart as their printer was busted. After calling them repeatedly about the email that never came, my brother went back to the shop, they couldn't produce a dyno sheet, nor could they retrieve any of my runs in the computer. All I know is that the car was slower post tune and I was getting about 6-7mpg worse. I pretty much flushed $400 down the toilet. Turned out a bad up-pipe gasket may have been partly to blame, but the tuner blamed the shop, the shop blamed the tuner, and neither was willing to help resolve the issue. My feeling is that any tuner that doesn't provide you with a dyno chart(or at least let you look at the screen)is pretty much a hack or a BS artist.
