Post WTF???????????

I just posted a thread about Langka... Every time I try to open it, Explorer's opening another thread of another topic! Whoever can see it, can you copy and paste what I wrote and send me a PM with what I wrote, and anyone that responded to re-respond again when I delete that one and re-post it again so I can see what you wrote? It keeps opening a thread titled "New movie about racing" started by SVT!

Ed,
I just noticed that too. The post it's going to is one that was deleted earlier today. I clicked the edit/delete box in the message and your original message appears, here it is. I also sent you some different pictures for photoshop.

I tried 4 times already to remove the blob on my touched up scratches on the Miata...First three times, I waited the 90 minutes that they suggest to wait. Every time I tried to remove the blob around the scratch, the paint would come out of the scratch too.. Someone on the board with experience with Langka suggested I let the touch-up paint dry for 2 days, which is what I did, and still, no positive results..Not only did it remove the paint around and in the scratch, but it also removed the pinstripe I had on the car! I had a silvery-white pinstripe running from front to back of the car, and then this nasty aqua green scribbly pinstripe in the center of each doors... On a good note, I finally figured out how to remove the nasty aqua pinstripe, but I wanted to keep the silvery-white one oh well.. I ended up Langka-ing the pinstripe all around the car and it came off like nothing...so now the car's pinstripe-free! I don't know if I should be happy or sad...

Hey SoofinTL, what was involved in changing the wheels to 17 inches. I want to get the 2002 TL but dont like the TL mags, but I love the TLS mags. Do the mags fit with no mods. Do you need to recalibrate the speedometer.

Yes, the 17" Wheels fit with no problems. As far as I know, you will need to go with a 225/45 tire rather than stock size(215/50) to avoid rubbing. Speedometer can't be recalibrated. The wheels are CL-S wheels, not TL-S..the differences being a 7" wide wheel for the CLS and 6.5" wide for the TLS, also there are other differences, visual though..

Thanks for your input. So you could put the TLS wheels on the TL, or in any event the tire must be changed?

I think TLS wheels should be ok with stock tires due to the fact that it's a narrower rim... There are other subtle differences between the CLS and TLS wheel, you know..
