Can you post a pic like this so we get an idea of what they look like in stock headlights?

On another note, anyone in here run Nitto NT05s? I was looking at picking up a set in the spring for auto crossing and running at Road America but I wanted to see if anyone here has used them and has an opinion.
If you are going to run your car at road america don't get NT05's. They get really greasy 15 minutes into a session. Look into Star Specs or Yoko AD08's.

For all of you that are bitching bakc and forth about HID's in stock housings, don't do it. I have ran both HID's in stock housings and retrofits. Help yourself and everyone else on the road out by running retrofits.

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!

The MFBA Road America Spring Rental dates have been set!

We'll be renting the track out the weekend of April 28'th and 29'th, 2012.

Full details and registration is available via our website:
MFBA Track Days

All Make and Model Cars are Welcome to come out and Participate in this event!!

We have 4 run groups based on experience that get 4-5 20 min sessions
out on track each day. You will have a LOT of track time! Most people
are exhausted by the end of the day.

Instructors are available free of charge for people who would like
them, and anyone who has not been on Road America will automatically
have an instructor assigned to them.

We also offer a lunch time touring session for those that just want to
get a chance to go out on the track at slower speeds.

Pricing..........................................W eekend..............Single Day
Now till Feb 14th............................$395.............. .......$235
Feb 14th to Apr 13th......................$445.................... ..$255
Apr 13th to day of Event.................$495.....................$27 5
Touring Session........................................... ..............$60
Spectators........................................ ........................$5

We need to get 70 more cars preregisters by February 14th, 2012 or the
event may be cancelled (if cancelled funds will be returned to
participants).

Many of you noticed that we pushed last years event pretty hard to
make it a success. We do plan to push this event even harder. We
anticipate that some run groups will fill up early so we strongly
encourage per-registration.

Lastly, what has helped us tremendously in the past is word of mouth.
If you can please help forward our e-mails and make posts, it really
helps us out big time. Our mailing list is small, but with word of
mouth we can reach many more individuals that may also enjoy our
event. Thanks again to all of you that helped spread the word last
spring!!!

Thanks and we hope to see you in the spring!

I got the motor all apart. Results are E85+gobs of timing+15psi= 3 bent rods and one catastrophic rod failure. However the pistons looked mint oddly enough.
