We could snag some seafood before you depart.This means I that before arriving we will have added two additional modes of transportation! Sounds great. I am already committed to bringing a motorcycle in the trunk of the Q45 so picking up another car sounds easy!
You get a roof rack to put that FSAE car on yet? 
I say we leave the bra. Leather bras are classy right?
Andrew PM me your phone number so we can discuss.
In reply to MrJoshua:
Read between the lines here:
Andy has time, a trailer and is looking for adventure. Swinging into Charleston, WV from his York, PA home adds about 220 miles for him and 3.5 hours but it does mean that he can then avoid all of the Wash DC Corridor and the traffic it has to offer (which would be worth it for me.)
In reply to JohnRW1621:
The best part is always the way home forgetting to go around and being bumper to bumper 0-70-0mph from Richmond till I get out of DC.
In reply to Andy Neuman:
I just sent you a REALLY bad idea! 
Forget this lets just buy a Maserati Biturbo and see if we can make it run.

I poked around one at the junkyard. Its a decent looking suspension design. It looked like you could make one fun.
If you need a hand at the Challenge, I'm in. I worked on the Fiero last year, so I'm used to working in the parking lot at the hotel.
In reply to Derick Freese:
You put in more work than any of us. I'll be in charge of the late night dominos ordering.
Maybe tomorrow I'll actually install the seat in the Lexus.
I only put more work into it than every one else because I wasn't busy drinking
Talked to Rick. We can still enter on monday if we get the car.
I looked at the car this morning. It is well maintained, runs well and actually has decent tires. I have no idea where the hood scoops or bra came from. The best thing is it has a spring conversion, so no wheezing airbags.
Springs! Awesome.
My intel says that those rims shown are 16x7
bolt pattern: 5x108
center bore: 63.4
Volvo rims will fit too.

I will be picking up last year's Hankooks in Gainesville Thurs night. They are mounted to the BBS's which are the wrong pattern but they are 16" if we want to unmount them and get the Hankooks mounted to these Lincoln rims.
That sounds like a good back up plan. If I can get a 15 to fit over the brakes I have some Hoosiers to use. That and I need to find 15 inch 5 x 108 wheels.
you should be able to use any mn12 thunderbird or cougar wheels for 15's. i do not have any anymore. my buddy may if you want me to check, he has a metric asstonne of thunderbirds/cougars including my old 94 XR7.
I might have some Volvo 15s you can borrow. Only problem is when I googled a picture they said that they're 16s. I'll check when I get home.
In reply to Stampie:
Great let me know. I got that rebuild packet for you today. I can drop it off tomorrow.
I think this turned out to be a good idea, not a bad idea.

It we be entertaining, but please bring the lexus. I've been following your build and really want to see it run.

You may need to dial in some negative camber on the front of the Lexus.
You'll need to log in to post.
