That thing has a stance!

These are the Pontiac G8 GT Sport Package equipped 19x8’s.

And these are the 2015 SS Sedan 19x8.5/19x9’s:

Those Pontiac 19x8s are calling my name.

It’s got brand new Pedders coilover’s under it for a Pontiac G8 GT .. It LOOKS like just smoother auctioned off ex-Cop car, but this one was done right.

Don’t get me wrong-I Ado Like the look of the G8 19’s, I just like the staggered SS wheels more. She does too, and that’s all that matters.. Just gives it a more refined factory appearance IMO, and does a nicer job of filling up the wheelhouses.. This is a BIG vehicle, so the 275’s out back really help too.

I usually do well on not buying junk hotrods-been doing it all my life, and know exactly what to look for. My previous profession obviously helped a lot in that respect as well. I can’t even begin to count how many pre-purchase vehicle inspections, or track day tech inspections I’ve done for a living.. Then there is the 30+ years of building hotrods & racecars as a hobby…

Christmas was murder, meds are murder, 5 week pay period is murder.
Buying nothing until the end of the month.

Always loved those cars guys. Stuffing the 5.3 in there is epic, wish I had one.

Back in the day I had a '02 white LS with the 3.8L and the trunk spoiler. My last car before I moved on to half tons as dailys.

Oh, and I just bought coffee.

This one is the factory L77, which is basically an aluminum block LS2 6.0 with LS3 rectangle port heads.

I'm trying to decide new style again or old school or another 5.3 with a carb kit.

 

[Ritz413]

Bought the last piece I need to do the trophy truck build. Been waiting to get everything on hand so I can do it start to finish. Still have some long days indoors to struggle through. Even with stuff I can run outside in the snow....not like this.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm getting my Axial Bomber back up and running. I had a Tekin system in it but used that on another project.
I went cheap because I'm giving it to one of my grandsons.

Anti-sway bar for the Bomber.

Luxury!

Luxury!

Gotta have it… The J&T is tough to find, and not near the quality. Also they don’t offer a truggy plate for it, and we KNOW I’ve gotta have that… I’m not wasting my time with ANYTHING Integy, or other Chinesium trash..

I’m welllllllll aware how proud they are of their tools/equipment, vehicles, and engines; but it is what it is..

I have invested in some of Hudy's luxury too. I totally get it!

Chinesium is fine for shelfers and Sunday drivers but anything that sees regular use is gonna get chewed and spit out!

Pay=Play.

No joke tho, their parts finish, feel, fit, quality is 1000% luxury!
