Spring Changeover.

Made my way back up to Seven Automotive to lower my coils, have my wheels put on, and get an alignment.

I think I may need new lug nuts.

The Nexens from Sterling Tire. Wanted the tire to be in similar size to the 215 40 Falken 512 I had last year.    No rubbing so far, so I think I went with a good size.

Deceptively clean fender.

So glad I got the lips done at Precision Rim Repair.  Such a big difference from last year.

Black Pug.

Life after the WRC seems pretty good for Sebastien Loeb.  A rumoured WTCC program with Citroen, select rounds of the Porsche Super Cup now this.  A Pikes Peak attack.  Peageot, looking back to its Climb Dance days, will compete at Pikes Peak with their 208 T16.  Its more or less a rehashed 908.  The running gear, brakes, and some aero (roof scoop and massive rear wing)  is carried over directly from their LMP1 car.  With  875hp, a curbweight of 875 kgs, this AWD hatch is a beast.  Its top speed is only 150mph…..which is reach in 7 seconds  -_-.
