Well I got some new wheels and lowering springs but for the Pace Car. Now for any one that asks that has seen the renderings of the Pace Car, yes these are just temporary until I do the full drivetrain and suspension (still four lug right now remember). I just couldn't keep rolling around on the TRXs.

I went with Intrax lowering springs that got cheap and I think when the settle they will drop another 1/4 -1/2" and ROH drift wheels that I made some custom center caps for. Sorry for the crappy pics, but the lighting in the garage doesn't suit good pics. When I get it out I will take better ones. The wheels are staggered fittment and 18's all around. I need to get some different back tires as the sidewalls are too big for the look am after (I want a side wall more like the size of the fronts). So if any one is interested in an almost brand new set (2) of Pirelli 285/40-18 then PM me.

I could post this in the Fox section, but you guys are cooler and I know all you guys. Just figured I'd keep you updated on the progress.

Very nice. The wheels suprisingly do a lot for that car. I always hated the pace cars cause of the color combo but................................what you have in mind makes me think that there could quite possibly be one really hot stang pace car in the world.
 
It's amazing what wheels can do for a car like that. I have always liked the pace cars but the stock wheels are awful!!! I've never been a fan of black wheels on most cars but with certain color schemes there is nothing that looks better.
 
Looks 100x better Tom. I wouldn't have been caught dead driving around with the old wheels, lol. What is the meaning of the custom cap design?


Well....

To tell you the truth, I wanted to design a logo for myself to use on my stuff, basically like a signature but in the form of a logo. Hard to explain, but when FOOSE builds something, you know damn well it has FOOSE logo on it right. The second reason, is I will have a few unique products coming to market for the 94-04 guys, so I needed a name and logo to market that stuff.

Basically I wanted to make up a word that didn't exist but sounded like it did, so it is actually a shortened version of Sinister, so just drop the "ter".

What do you guys think, good idea or no? Also what do you think of the logo design?
 
The problem I see with the logo is that what does is say when you turn it over? Maybe need to underline it or put some way to know how it goes.

Good point but I have taken care of that, at least from a business standpoint. As a business name it would actually be a two part name. For example Sinis Engineering, Sinis Chasisworks, Sinis Autobody. With the second word being underneath the Sinis logo, it automatically positions the brand to the reader. As of now right now, I'm using it as my signature, so I don't care who can read it as it is more for me then everyone else. Once used for a business, the readability issue can be fixed and addressed.
