For the record/cliffnotes, my XB35 passenger side has color shifted to be so damn close to the Xenarc 66040 on my driver side you have to look carefully straight at them to be able to tell. Definitely good bulbs for the price.

You guys all went to the gay parades, judging from the lack of activity here. Can't believe you all held this in for so long.

I once couldn't find milk in the fridge because the light burnt out. Got fragile bones for no less than 10 years due to that. My mom got a new fridge though so all is good now.

We do have less male-parts-type jokes. And way less bite.




Not yet. Headed there in August.

Damn...I miss Majofo. He somehow keeps us all on our toes and current on 90's hip hop and local current events. I hope he wasn't forced into a deep depression from getting the V repo'd and then having to carpool with his wife in a 05 corolla.

Maybe he went to Austin and got eaten by the ever increasing population of bats.





And as its known, bats have the highest rate of homosexuality among mammals.

People want to mess with their brake bias because racecar.




Theory: There's this big big big misconception about the TL brakes (and brakes in general). Because they look small people think they can't brake the car. Those people usually don't understand that as soon as you break the tires free the brakes are doing their job and it's other components that are the issue.
I have no problem breaking the tires free if I stomp on the brakes like a mad man and find the brakes even a bit annoying when cold in rainy conditions. Too grippy!

Exactly. And that is what has forced an OCD person like myself to run a 10,000 mile sticky tire on the street for daily driving, just in case I need to avoid an accident and the 30' shorter stopping distances from 60mph over stock come into play.


Some of those guys literally upgrade for looks but just as bad, they think that not having to press on the brake pedal as hard is an upgrade. Pedal effort is exactly the same with my Stoptech BBK because it retains stock bias. It would be a bad thing if the pedal effort went down, assuming you're upgrading just the front or just the rear.


I remember reading an article a long time ago about how Honda/Acura is pretty aggressive with their brake bias and tend to run more rear bias under hard braking than most manufacturers.


But yeah, what happened to the pink doggie?

Nothing wrong with overkill but everything with upgrading stupidly. If you're going slotted drilled BBK with EBC yellow you better have tires that make it worth it.

That's totally overdoing it for the majority of people though and simply new brake pads, properly working calipers and decent rotors will do them fine even for those times where the gas pedal seems to be easier to press...

Well if you see it like that. I know here 2 hours and 30 minutes makes a world of difference in the type of people you'll find though.

Ah misunderstood you. I thought he actually lived in Houston, which seems also pretty far to me to Austin.

Imagine, Texas is the biggest of them all to boot. I know the general location of Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Abilene (sp?). The later due to a sweet sweet Texan girl named Emily.

Yeah. More like 40 hours drive, but that's a step in the right direction.
