Haha I guess I came off a little stalkerish on that post. I swear I didn't mean it like we're trying to be best friends. By the way, you left your garage door open this morning and nice Air Jordan's you got there. I mean, I'd love to visit Cali again someday.

No stalkerish vibe detected, we all good ... now ... J on the other hand, watch out for that guy.



I should have my wheels mounted up tomorrow with some fresh pictures to follow

Kicking myself for not taking any pictures at C&C, but I did get a few others this weekend.

All wiped down:





S2000 finally got a bath:



Visited my mother an hour north and decided to take a long detour.

Highway 101 ftw!

Looks awesome, Tyler! After washing, I can never decide whether or not to leave the car in or take it out. Ultimately, driving trumps hate - er cleanliness, or whatever.

I love both your cars.
I love you.

CCColtsicehockey

Damn you that drive on the 101 must be amazing. Just look at that view.

That's the 1 down there isn't it...

Thanks and agreed.

You got it the roughest ... black paint ain't easy to keep clean





It's the kind of cruising where you don't need to go too fast .. just enjoying the scenery with the music up / windows down.

Ah I remember taking the old K03's out of mine. Those oil lines are a pain in my A$$!
If I were to do it again I would have just cut them to remove them and replace them with new braided lines.

Cheers to a B5 owner! Do you still have it?

I have stainless steel oil feed & wastegate lines on my list. I have a friend who's battling a torn wastegate line right now (dry rotted to hell), I'm helping him replace it tomorrow night

TylerT

iTrader: (1)

Now ... THIS is how you pack turbos.









Turbos were packed into separate boxes and nicely padded - no damaged from shipping. Jason / Taco - you guys were right .. SRM packed them like shit.

One thing I really like about the B5 community is most owners you talk to is knowledgeable, resourceful, and offers a helping hand. Couple beers & bullshitting aside, we managed to replace a torn wastegate line on his Stage 3 car and it boosts normally now ... car is bonkers fast. Powerband feels violent compared to mine.

I love you bro...

Have you aimed your headlights yet?

Looking nice dude, that color never gets old.

JT4

That Blue looks so good on the S4....

TylerT

iTrader: (1)

Thanks bud and surprisingly, the headlights are aimed properly .. they just suck and have really poor light output.

The light you see is actually my fog lights.



Thanks!

Retrofit projectors in

TylerT

iTrader: (1)

Still quite a few eventuallys on my list .

Prospective upgrades:

- New & higher output headlights, possible retrofit.
- 6 piston Porsche 18Z calipers, stainless steel brakelines, new pads, new front & rear rotors
- JHM drivetrain stabilizer & upgraded transmission mounts
- New flat bottom B5 / B8 steering wheel
- Amp & small 8 / 10 inch subwoofer

At this point, I'm saving pennies for a clutch & downpipes and all preparatory items for the motor pull.

Chipping away at my list .. I purchased an intake w/ an 85mm MAF this morning.

TylerT

My fiance would loooooooooooooooove that.

thoiboi

thoiboi

i'll just leave this right here

at HID retrofit wedding gift

thoiboi

saves me a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond

TylerT

iTrader: (1)

How would retrofits make the bed more comfortable?

TacoBello

Don't lie. You live for bed bath and beyond. And we all know it.

thoiboi

well you see.. if you accept a headlight retrofit as a wedding gift, then the wife would probably annul the wedding, kick you out of the house, and then she'd have the bed all to herself, thus making it 2x more comfortable




fuck.. you're right you know me too well

TylerT

iTrader: (1)

If that's the case, might as well make the whole thing worth my while.

Add the clutch & downpipes to your shopping list and we good cuh.

thoiboi

i ain't made of money bruh... then my fiance would dump me!

TacoBello

So then the both of you could get a bed a together...

thoiboi

way to ruin my master plan..

TylerT

iTrader: (1)

Damn yo, we'd need a bigger garage cause I ain't moving my cars out.

Nu uhhh.

thoiboi

Honey... the first thing we'd get together is a 5 car garage...

#priorities

TacoBello

Fuck that. I'd make thoiboi the wife of the relationship, sell his cars, make him get a bus pass, and use the profits from selling his cars to further mod the S4

thoiboi

Fuck the bus, I'll just bike everywhere...


Also selling the cars isn't a bad idea.. I sure don't drive them

TacoBello

Exactly! You're always on "business trips" anyway. This will give you and Tyler the chance to have affairs, without the other knowing. How genius!

At $50, if they have your size, these may be a good temporary upgrade. It was 100% a massive improvement in the F150, and no issues to date.

LEDs in a halogen projector will produce atrocious output..
