Step 2.5: New Shoes and Piping

We quickly found she liked to burn through tires.  Without a tire changing machine at the events, we couldn't keep continuing this way.  Our next choice of wheels were some XXR's again in 16 x 8.75 in Chromium Black.  Beautiful wheels, and complimented her and her accessories quite nicely.

Not being able to belt out her lungs to the full potential, the car was taken to A.P.E. (Arkansas Performance Exhaust) and got some new piping in place.  Jason and Zach did a beautiful job as usual.

We also acquired some used wheels.  Not very wide, but great for practice.  However, they were white, ugly, and pitted.  Kim just couldn't ride out that way.  Could you image the laughs?  So we scuffed them down, and repainted them.  We wanted to do something a little different.  Something a little wild.  The results was a highlighter lime green with a black MSA spoke.  And I have to say, boy were these flashy.

She was loud and proud.  And every moment at this event was definitely an enjoyable one.
