You bastid
It has nothing to the with the chicken, turkey whatever
Only in English that they are the same word

In Turkish...
Country is called "Turkiye"
That animal is called "Hindi"

Jason Statham Love his movies

and actually we have the same thing with India

"Hindistan" is India, the country
"Hindi" is people from there
but also
"Hindi" is called turkey the animal in Turkish

Got it?

MEKO, I used to have a 5-Series BMW (535i-like that yellow one in the picture). Mine was white with a red leather interior-very rare combination.

Loved that car-I had the front and rear spoilers on it. That was back when BMW's had real character....you could tell the car by the body design.

I am starting to wonder about your background and stories Steven
I am sure white/red looked amazing

I know something is up with this car...sooo in love with the design and everything
Whole interior smells leather, even with that car smell he has in there..

What are the front/rear spoilers?
We know about e46 but no idea about this e28

This is how the front end is right now



Before alignment


After alignment

Noooooooooooo idea
What is it? I am lost haha


Got an email from the led guy, yup I was right.

Sorry about that. What happened was that the manufacture sent us the wrong white color for the recent batch and we're waiting for replacements. They're suppose to be pure white about 4300k but it appears they are now 8000k.










Now you see the difference between new one and old pure white one

do google before you post dingus LOL

Hindustan was India pre-partition. India + Pakistan was Hindustan. Post partition (in 1947) it was India was called "Bharat"

and Hindi is not the people from there....Hindi is the language we speak....

People from India, are well, Indians LOL....

Just like people from America speak English and not American...American is/are the people from America....

comprende?

it was +10 ... dont know what they told you but even 5mm makes a lot of difference

yeah, the choice is very limited...most of the wheels have been discountinued, (SSR Type C, TC05n, etc)....and am waiting for a good deal to pop up on one of the shortlisted wheels....

btw in other news, there were folks who drove in for the national meet...

raced 3 cars...no names
1> Type S 5AT with DC Cai - he stood no chance
2> Type S 5AT with Rv6 jpipe and Rv6 exhaust and CAI (dont know which one) - he stood no chance

now for the interesting race:
3> Type S 5AT with HFC, Jpipe (not sure which one), Rv6 Exhaust, intake and HONDATA tune...he said he was putting down 285+ on the dyno before the tune....guess who won?

and it was funny, no 6MT folks wanted to play

^^^ well in their defense, the last race was DEAD even...we ran from 60 (wish it was 50 roll so could get a jump by being on the top of 2nd)....but its was a 3rd gear roll and into 4th....we were dead even and wish we could have kept going, but damn traffic....

i love the diet but recently the car has been seeming a little more vulnerable at high speed bumps....feels like its gonna fly off....scary feeling....trying to think what I can do to increase a little downforce without adding a spoiler or any weight back in the car....

I'm #1 and for a basically bone stock (engine wise) I think I kept up pretty well. Lemme do all the stuff you've done to yours and you will go crying back to mommy.

And I know damn sure Jeff (sauceja) would have been down to race you in his 6mt. Last night on the way back from dinner he was doing 120 on Metcalf

The filter it came with. The next time the bumper is off I'm going to hack a couple of inches off the bottom of the intake so its not such a tight fit behind the fog light.

If you cut out couple of inches, filter won't be able to fit though..
That end "like half inch" gets wider 3.5"
Pipe is 3"

Do it just like mine and add 7" lenght AEM in there
Won't even touch the fog as well

--

Ohhh Steven editted the pictures with text, I didn't know that was his girlfriend

It's the red color dude...that color pulls attention
and that S2k is too stock to get a best detail award

I am busy around these days, you could have my thread for now

I am still at school, doing a Revit 3d drawing.
Let me design your dream house

I have to find something to mod my TL with, I am getting bored thanks to J. haha
I thought about headlights but meh they are good... may be tails but I like red
Gimme an idea

Thanks Steven Bell

It was a nice day to clean and take pictures....aaaand now it's gone
Raining since morning

I hate rain
and now after all these weathers I can't describe how much I hate it
Ok we need it but god this is too much

I just came home (20 miles), I was doing like 45 on highway
Hydroluck scares the beep out of me

I know it's hard to get water in there but after going through a puddle kind of thing on highway with 75 on the left lane... I slowed down
