Had to check it out for myself...a few mods here and there will do it some justice. I wouldn't have taken ALL of those badges...maybe just a few of them

 

Oh, I have things planned. If Tyler would give me some money, there wouldn't be a problem.

I don't like badges

 

If anyone needs money, it's me

 

What? What's wrong with asking for an ass shot of OP... er, I mean OP's car? Nothing :ghey: about that, right honey beer and sweetie pie?

 

No way. Being 100% honest i rather roll stocks then Vossens. First off their made like garbage and second they look hideous. I live in Orlando and their made 250 miles south of me so I see them everywhere. There is 1 Vossen wheel that looks okayish and i would only put em on my car if they were free.

But your car now looks amazing!! I personally would have done all polished wheels i think it would go perfect with your grey!!

 

wait, who is honey beer?

 

 

 

I do like some of their designs but I don't need them breaking on me...especially the way I drive sometimes.

 

teh fuck.. since when did vossen get mfg'd by rota?

 

 

 

Slight issue now. Can't seem to get the tires to balance properly. Got an alignment already and all 4 tires are brand new. There was one tire that was bubbled pretty badly that I replaced about a week ago and replacing that fixed the steering wheel shake a little bit but its still shakes around 75 now instead of 65 Any suggestions? Going to try and get them balanced at a different place today.

 

Do they use hub centric rings? Have you checked to make sure the tire place put them all back on? That's the only thing I can think of besides getting them balanced again.

 

No hub centric rings but the hub already fits snugly into the center of the wheel. I remember having this issue with my TL and getting them balanced at a different place corrected the issue.

 

How were they balanced? I've found road-force balancing completely eliminates highway vibration from the tires.

 

Not exactly sure the method they were balanced. The shop I've been using uses a Quickmatch balancer. Going to a place this afternoon that uses a Hunter balancer which is "supposed" to be more precise

 

I concur....hunter road force balance and hunter alignment is what I get every 5K miles....no vibrations and the tires last longer

 

Hunter road force is the way to go.

 

after my many battles with vibration previously...I think that more important than the brand or type of machine...is the tech's tenacity for perfection and how often the shop gets the machine calibrated. The local Acura dealership is the only place I get my tires balanced now...

 

Nice ride congrats!

 

Hopefully the Hunter fixes the vibration That's what was used on my tires.

 

The hunter definitely helped a lot but its still vibrating around 75mph. The tech told me the inner barrel was slightly warped. I already called AG and they quoted me $250 plus labor to replace the inner barrel. I'll probably get it done in a few months or so. Its not that bad after they road forced it.

 

Drove 8 hours to Vegas and managed to squeeze out 22.1mpg. I know some of you guys will laugh but this is good for an SRT8 lol.

 

 

avg mph?

 

I kept it between 65 and 75mph.

 

with MDS on or off? can't remember if you got a tuner or not.

 

No tuner.

 

I wouldn't say that's horrible...that about what I get now on road trips with mine...with more mods and much less power.

I would be interested if a canned tune didn't improve your mpg by a couple...when I was just running a canned tune on mine when I was stock I easily went up to 24-25mpg per tank on free way driving. And I don't have MDS (stick)

 

damn i would not be able to make it half way down my street with that front spoiler.

 

such discipline

 

That, too

I usually average 85mph on road trips, unless stuck in traffic.

 

I was just being paranoid. The last time I drove to Vegas was in my 06 TL and the transmission blew in the middle of nowhere and left my wife, newborn, and I stranded in the middle of the desert.

 

22...not bad. A little disappointed with the MPH, though . I can manage that on my daily commute, if traffic permits.

 

22mpg isn't too bad, but are you relying on the car's trip computer to figure it out or did you do the actual calculation, miles/gallons? I've found my trip computer is about 1mpg generous.

A tuner will be your new friend. Better mpg and more power. Can't go wrong with that combo. Even has a gas saver tune for planned long trips, although I've never loaded that one on my Charger. The best I've gotten on a all highway trip was 24mpg. Less power, weight and higher gears for me though.

 

Took a few shots today in Vegas.
