Add a little liquid wax on the water every car wash & you'll get a good result.

And a little touch up on photoshop of course :-P, but the reflection on the hood of the first pic is real.

They are 7" (I think) MRT spun steel wheels w/ 225/45/13 hoosier slicks. I don't know the BS offhand, but I'll get back to you when I figure it out.


I've recently made some changes to my car. I'm running a K03 turbo now and an MR2 IC. I will be adding propane injection to supplement fuel as soon as the motor is broken in and I turn the boost up. It's still a work in progress...

Wow vdw, I love your car! What are your wheel and tire specs, and what else is done to the car?

I use the slicks on for auto-x and for those times when we go out and drive the local backwood roads really hard.
