Photos after suspension work
Went up to Asheville for the weekend, so I took a few photos of the car. In the past year a lot of additions to the car. First, a LS7 clutch kit, TICK master w/speed bleed, new slave. While in the shop, I bit the bullet and we added an Eibach Pro Kit (1.5" drop), completed the shocks/struts set up with RGB AGX adjustables, weld-in SFCs, torque arm, adj. panhard, MOOG tie rods, tower brace, and a few other things I can't remember. Replaced rear seal while the flywheel was off too.
A few weeks ago, I replaced all the calipers and ceramic pads. Had a little squeal in the tensioner (a/c side) so that was replaced along with the idler.
Now for the good news. When I first got this car I almost touched 30mpg on an interstate trip (29.7 mpg). Well, with all the changes and only checking mileage on the return trip I got ....32.07 mpg! Very happy about that.

I have to say I've never had mine out for a long distance trip. Furthest I've ever gone is 130 miles. I have no idea just how far I can go on a tank of gas if I stayed on the Interstate. Most of my driving is about 35 miles one way back and forth to work and city driving as well. Most I can is 275 miles on my 14 gal tank.
