Looks like my powdercoat day is going to be delayed a little bit. That day just turned inconvenient to do all the prep work the day before and all. I am looking into purchasing spacers now, then will get the rims powdercoated when it isn't going to be a pain in the ***. lol

I didn't plan on it. I can't get into the Casino anyway. I thought about going for the cruise part, but just going for the drive feels kinda lame to me.

Update on the car, put new spark plugs in the car today and cleaning the MAF sensor seemed to help. I also used some STP fuel/injector cleaner. I vote we do a seafoam cleaning day on May 12th, still have never done that.

The car was able to drive earlier today but needed to be revved and occasionally restarted to keep it going.

Think the quality of this item would be good? I figure there isn't much you can mess up with spacers.
