It truly was a shame when the doors closed. I miss that place, but I'm fortunate to still be friends with them.. If I ever win the lottery, you can bet your *** DECH will re-open.

1:35's are quick I'm stuck in the 1:43s, but I swear the car can't go any faster, the driver is perfect! :laughhard
Steeda is a parts-pusher, no doubt, but with a company that large what do you expect.
Did DECH use CC plates of some sort or did they just elongate some holes here and there?

No CC plates, No strut brace(inless a customer had to have it), no fancy control arms/torque arms/panhard bars/coil-overs. We used to modify the strut itself a little to get more negative. More caster...would be nice, but didn't care. Fancy balljoints? Bumpsteer kit? What for? Work with what came with the car and make it better...not replace everything...remember, less is more.It's like building an engine..it's the combination of all components..
Just think those 35's were done long before the track was inproved also. To me it's even more impressive seeing it was 10 years ago...aren't many street cars that could do it today, but I'm sure there are a few.
As for being a parts pusher...you need to, cuz it's the only way to survive. Doesn't mean I gotta like it, or it's right.
