The tire size you implied is what I was going on. If you want to dig up shit from the past though, I remember the thread that got your first ban.
Remember it? Where you vehemently denied that wheel hop is a bad thing? And how your car was actually faster with wheel hop then without?
If I fuck up, I admit it. As in that tire thread. Youre so thick headed that when you are presented with so much evidence that refutes your argument, you still refuse to accept it and say everyone else is wrong.

Calm down bro, we all know it's hard for you to accept that your wrong. It's good for you though, it builds your self confidence
. I thought i admitted that i was wrong in that thread? Well anyway, yes i was wrong. Wheel hop slows you down 
. Big deal? Also, it sounds like your a bit shaky right now, your trying to be defensive about "digging dirt up on each other". I'm not digging dirt up on you, it's more like turning over sand, because the tire incident was very recent.

The warranty is transferable right?[/QUOTE]
I hear ya, but for the price I think it would be a fun car. I know what you mean about the already modded, who knows how many times that thing has been overboosted or had 85 octane fuel ran through it. I was thinking about it and if i were to bid I'd get some more pics. Also I have a friend in that area and would check it out.

no car is worth it, if you are going to be dumping $30,000 just to get the frame straightened out (before you EVER buy it, look at it in person, and if you feel uncomfortable about it, get somebody independent to check it out)

That's all fine and dandy, however he creates clutter posting nonsense and consistently provides bad information which could misinform new members and reflects poorly on the community.

Headed out to the Chi-town area next weekend to pickup an 09 e92 335i. Sparking Graphite on Coral Red, sports, prem, cold, navi and HD Radio. And of course in a 6 speed ^_-.
Hope the HPFP doesn't take a dive on me back to the East Coast.

ok heres the deal .... one the back and fourth crap is gonna stop... back to M3/// my car had full interior with a few things for weight removed like some HVDs of the rear sub frame ... front and rear bumper cross member maybe 50lbs total at best including things like the under drive pulley one area that saved alot of weight was my SSR comps 17/8 which were 15 lbs which combined with tires saved another 50lbs ... but because this saving was rotational mass some estimates say this can equate to as much as 3xs static ... lastly my 257/232 was on a mustang dyno ... a dyno jet may have put out as mush as 280whp or more and 250 or more lb.ft ...i challage any M3 dyno to show a smother flatter torque curve then mine search there's probablly still an imiage of it...

went to the track on Sunday. my first time and I'm going back Saturday! had a blast and came 4th in the all motor street class. came behind a two z's that were running consistent 14.4-6 but managed to get down the line quicker in the head to head rounds.
my fastest time was a 14.249 @100.1 mph. my 60' was 2.3 because of my bald potenzas and bad front mount.
got some nittos going on today and I am expecting to pull a 14 with a 2.2 60'
here's the vid of the run.

You wont lose as much as you gain going from the stock 2.25" to 2.5". The trade off is worth it.

Run 2.5" from headers back. Pick up a Magnaflow 2.5" cat and weld it in, thats cheaper then buying the XLR8 cat. You can run a resonator too if you want. I am, and there is absolutely no drone on the highway. The car is damn near silent. But when you get on it you hear it.

, part of the reason i sold my xlr8 cat, too much money tied into it for what it was (i got a reasonable price for it, plus other parts with the deal)but here is my issue with doing 2.5 from the headers back..., the header is still going to restrict it at the j-pipe (comptech's are only 2" ID at the cat's connection point), so what you really need to do then is from the manifolds back;
civic 
basically replace the j-pipe with matching pipe all the way back then

what... if you replace the j-pipe, yes cause that is where the two banks combine back together in the exhaust, but the issue holding us back though is that we only got one primary o2 sensor , so yeah the you will need an x-pipe and put the sensor right there (but i would still combine the 2 with a y-pipe, cause the x-pipe basically gets rid of any of the benefit of the duals further back, but you need it for the sensor though
but i was thinking more so of just modifying whatever j-pipe you have currently, so it matches the rest of the exhaust diameter
but if you do do true duals, i would run the front bank to the right muffler, then the rear bank to the left muffler, so that the entire exhaust system is equal length wise (cause you are makeing the rear bank cross back across the car to add some length to it)
