I'm sure the added torque will make up for the slightly taller gears. Ken, I really didn't think that you'd go manual though since you were looking for more refinement, I assumed auto cruiser with balls to take down some wienerschnitzel BMWs that might want to run, hehe.

man i need to get back in the mix.

How do you like those rotora rotors?

I had project mu slotted ones that i ended up thrashing road racing with. I was tempted to get another set, i just didnt feel up to spending 200 bucks on some rotors when i can get the other ones for 40 dollars and they last just as long..

What pads are you running?


I switched to the project Mu Kai Pad.

FUCKING DOPE..

Im still looking into that rear spindle shit.. I want to run the type r rear rotors. I tried the legend ones but the rotor is all bizarre looking. I just want something simple and offset 2.5 inches further back than the tl hub so i can run a -30 et 19x9.5 rear wheel.

i went with them basically for the reputation... they make a good product and i had the rear ones on for a few months already... so im running AEM pads with Rotora discs all around... i think the rotors ran $87 a piece??? and the pads were like $35 for the set...

Alrighty, I'm bumping this thread from last year because I feel like it. Let's see what's new!

I got myself some Garson-style valve stem caps. They were cheap and I've been too lazy to look for my mini-piston ones, so why not go in the more VIP direction?


I've got some stuff planned for my headlights, most of the parts are sitting around the house, waiting for me to get off my ass and start getting ready to work on them.

New wheel bearing is rolling around in my trunk because I don't have the time to install it.

I want to polish my door sills because they're a bit scratched, but whatever for something that's almost 12 years old.

Thinking about hooking my deck back up so I can enjoy some nice DVD-Audio discs.

Selling my S2K wheels, so that I can rock my other S2K wheels.

Selling my Prelude wheels, so that I can rock Euroline DHs.

There's more, but yeah.

~Cheers~

Oh, and I'm considering this:


And I'm wondering when I can finally install my puddle lights which have been sitting here for awhile.

They're 19" x 8" with an offset of +45. I haven't bought them yet, but I'm planning to once all my wheels are sold. I now have a total of 18, not including the ones on the car. The reason there are two shy of a 5 sets is I donated two to a tire recycling place. I found some 17" ones, though, and I might go with those just because I prefer something smaller. Only problem is that the 17's are located far, far away and shipping would cost quite a bit.

~Cheers~

P.S. The fender liner thing was just something to do when I'm bored, haha. I agree that on my colour it'd look weird. What I really need are spikes in front and behind my car so idiots will stop backing into me.

Oh, and I need to get unbanned from the Black Market. I've been wanting to buy shit from other members but I've passed on just PMing them. I've also wanted to sell shit that I think some members might want/need, but I can't since I'm banned. Doesn't matter too much, but I think at most I should've been temp-banned, not perma-banned.

~Cheers~

P.S. PM box open for sales! Who needs wheels? Haha! Special pricing for forum members!! Like, HALF of what I paid for some items, .

Every year this question rolls in and I have no cash left after my season in Yuma, AZ... This time its a must after crashing because of the drizzle here in Cali...

1. Fix front bumper w/ brackets
2. Push radiator back down into position including the hood latch... (hood has trouble closing but it closes)
3. Re-upholster the interior...
4. Been trying to do the camber correction for the past couple years after lowering the car...
5. Brakes
6. Engine Maintenance... Its hard to keep up with a 255,000+ mile car...


Those wheels you guys are getting are extreme... look nice though... guess VIP is in now...
