When you do an engine swap, you pop the engine out and put the new one in…

When you do a chassis swap, you pop off the chassis and put the new one on top! Or at least that’s how they do it in the UK!

Here are some pictures of my good ol’ chap Perry from the UK:

And this is his brand new trunk from Toyota! Bling bling!

Toodles!


SSR-WHEELS.COM

Just in time for SEMA!

This is the site I’ve been working on for the past 3 months… It has its own content management system, so the client can login and update the news and various sections of the website on their own. They can also update the wheel charts on their own and manage their list of dealers.

Also check out the nifty dealer locator. That took me tons of time – I had to write it myself!!

Here’s a bit of trivia:
Did you know that there is no rhyme or reason for a zipcode being in a certain location? 91792 is NOT guaranteed to be neighbors with 91793… in fact it can be hundreds of miles away.

So how do you find the distance from your zipcode to the nearest dealer? You have to know longitude and latitude coordinates for every zipcode in the United States. Finding that kind of (free) data was really hard… and was only the tip of the iceberg!

My wheels have finally come in! But… I don’t want to put them on the car just yet…


F: 17×9.5 +10 R: 18×11 +10

or maybe i’ll just put em on the car real quick just to see what they look like as is.
