As soon as I've gotten the X5 tuned later this week, i definitely want to make some videos but last summer I made this video and one other.

I have Velocity spacers that bolt to the hub and the wheel bolts to the spacer lug bolts. Every time I get tires (Discount Tire) the changer goes to the manager about the spacers. The manager always allows the tire install but only because the spacers are bolted to the hub. Checking around before I got the spacers, this was many years ago, I found that that was the best way to go for safety.

ok cool! THanks for the advice. I will double check to see which spacers I have on the back tires. Over the weekend I installed a new transmission cooler behind my rear diff where my batter box use to be and ran the lines along the drive shaft tunnel to the tranny. I also removed the A/C condenser so the rad can breathe better and cut a bunch of plastic away from each side. I had been using the A/C condenser as my transmission cooler but figured this was a better route to go. I had to also replace the hose connections on power steering cooler since they were such a pain in the ass to disconnect all the time. I'll try to make a short video today of it idling and rev it up a couple times. I'll warn you now, it doesn't sound like when you rev up a C63 AMG or a Supra. I'm not that pleased with how it sounds to be honest but I'll let you be the judge.

Ok guys, I had some time today to put together a little video on the LSX5 so here it is, have a listen and let me know what you think.

This is one amazing build! Subscribed!

:thumbup: So sick. I love the center exhaust out of the tow opening in the bumper too.

Thanks!! It was definitely a challenge making that turbo fit under the hood with all of the piping and hoses but we did it and soon I'll actually know what it feels like to put it to work.

Thanks, I appreciate your interest. I want to make a bunch of videos this summer yet.
