I normally am not a fan of 5 spoke wheels at all but for some reason I am really drawn to these. I think it is the multispokes that make up the spoke. Definitely will be a bitch to clean that is for sure. I would do a full coat of ceramic sealant on them if I do them so that the brake dust should just fall off.

Gotta pay to play I always say. The V might be a lifetime car so I want to do it right the first time. Next ride down the road will probably be an addition.

I need to find some better shots of them so I can do some good high quality photoshops of them.

Get rid of the chrome lip too, Maybe Black Chrome

CCColtsicehockey

If I do matte bronze the lips will be black chrome

man I dont like those wheels but you know thats just like my opinion man lol. 4k rotiforms? WTF? I thought those were considered budget wheels? I feel that if your willing to drop 4-5k on wheels there are tons more of nicer options?

And listen to all you pussy cucks complaining about your V's LOL. Holy shit

Oh my vagon is black, oh my wheels have a scratch, oh my calipers aint yerrow, no recaros. Oh my S2000 is sitting on Advans instead of Messer wheels lol, Oh I didnt win YOTM... jesus haha

OH and your exhaust is the business man. What a work of art that is Sounds fucking monstrous too

CCColtsicehockey

Rotiform cast wheels might be budget wheels but their 3pc forged wheels are no joke. Pretty much any fully forged 3pc wheel will run you at least 3-4k many brands even much much more. Plus the specs are full custom to every vehicle they build them for. That means you know you will get perfect fitment.

I think they will look super nice!

Those are sweet wheels. Is there a wheel configurator where you can see them mocked up. I'm a little skeptical on how they'll look once mounted. I think the vagon is a lot more forgiving than the sedan or coupe in that department though.

It's cause wagons are so

CCColtsicehockey

So finally heard back from Meisterschaft. They told me I need to adjust the hangers up a bit so it pushes the rear part of the exhaust down a bit so that it doesn't contact the rear bumper support and the differential. I waited 3 weeks for that answer. Why thank you

I am really glad I love the sound of the exhaust or I would be taking it off and shipping it back for all this. Now I need to figure out how to bend those hangers a bit and not scratch the pretty shiny exhaust.

I'd use vice grips and then use a pipe or hammer on THAT rather than directly on the exhaust.
Shorter rubber hanger might be easier than bending the metal.

So apparently exhaust problems don't happen with just the wagon. Went to adjust the camber on the TSX before taking it to the tail of the dragon and while putting in on my ramps I heard something snap and make a loud bang. Apparently a weld on my Js Racing Titanium 70RR exhaust decided to give way and then the titanium hanger itself snapped in half. Fun times. Finding shops to weld titanium isn't a super easy task but I have found one but I don't have time to get it off the car and taken to them before this weekend. So I had to improvise for the time being. I hate rigging things like this but I took the wagon last year and really want to take the TSX this year. Not really the prettiest fix but it should get the job done. I gave up on getting the TSX camber adjusted and re-aligned because of this mess though so hopefully the 500 miles round trip won't burn my tires up too bad.

I thought it was the vagon as I scrolled up and was like DAMN he was motivated to do something about it.
Fix looks good! I'd just leave it like that forever

CCColtsicehockey

I would need longer rubber hangers then to let the exhaust hang lower. I think I can find longer ones easily for the two closest to the rear bumper as those look like normal hangers. the one of the rear side of the muffler though the hanger wholes are extremely different in size and I am worried I won't be able to find one for that spot. Life is extremely busy the rest of November though so I won't get to tackle this till probably the first week in December.

PS: this mod thing just got me. I clicked edit instead of quote and didn't even notice I was typing my reply right in your post.

I unhid one of Johnny's posts yesterday...he thought he couldn't get it to delete.

Dude, if it's any consolation, my front wheel is leaking air. Awesome.

leave the rear hanger off, i bet it will be fine being held by the two rear ones.

thoiboi

confused the hell out of me...

thoiboi

funny you did this fix, I was gonna suggest something similar on your Vagon

CCColtsicehockey

no way am I attaching that metal strap to those shiny polished pipes.

CCColtsicehockey

I would consider that if we had some sort of middle hanger. Heck my TSX exhaust has 2 hangers on the muffler, 1 at the bend, and one on the mid pipe. The V has no mid pipe hangers for a much heavier exhaust.

thoiboi

bungee cords and duct tape seem like the appropriate approach then..

CCColtsicehockey

Oil changed in the TSX tonight. First time in two years but according to my records there were only 3500 miles put on that full synthetic oil change in that time. Sad really that it has only been driver that much.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

how'd it look?

CCColtsicehockey

It was a little dark but not bad for two years. The heat from running the supercharger seems to take a toll on the oil life. I had already bought regular Mobile1 syn cause it was on sale but next time switching the TSX to the high mileage syn. The V is already on it.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

How many miles does your V have?

CCColtsicehockey

About 71,500. Had about 48500 when I picked her up. So in a year and a month I have put about 23k miles on her. I need to drive less. I kill my cars value so quickly. I have another trip to go this year still which will total at least close to 1500 miles.

Jesus!
I'm at 74K myself...almost 75 so I've done 2K in about 3 months.

CCColtsicehockey

Just too much fun not to drive it. I need to get a new belly pan for it though. The plastic cover tore and is now dragging on the ground.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Why don't you remove it the fun way?

CCColtsicehockey

Parking in a grass field is what tore it when I had to backup to get out of the spot. I am hoping to salvage it cause I looked up the price of a new GM one at it is $90 plus shipping.

I bet you can drill and tie wrap and replace push fasteners and be fine.

CCColtsicehockey

It already had some tears in it when I got it so I already have two long zip tie stitches in it. Hopefully you are right and it just needs clips.
