It’s been an incredibly busy summer…. and I’ve gotten WAAAAAY behind in posting about it. I’ll catch up over the next few days… have a lot to talk about:

  • Blimey’s Tour of Terror II
  • RMW Tune
  • Schroth Harnesses
  • Carbotech AX-6 pads
  • GT Tuning Strut Brace
  • Engine Bay makeover
  • Body-color roll hoops
  • Nitto Neo Gen tires
  • RMW Cam
  • RMW Header
