People say either is fine. I've ran Redline 5w30 for the past 2.5 years. I've just switched to 5w20 last oil change cause my store just started carrying it.

Yeah I picked those ones up. I got them for a lot less than he was asking

Yeah, I was looking at that. 1 wheel was absolutely perfect, the others have some defects.. It is what it is though.. I paid a fraction of what they are new, so I can't complain

MN plates suck. I have always been upset that I had to drill into my bumper (didnt have to in Kansas City) Any suggestions on what I should do? Grab one of those tinted License Plate Covers? Get a chrome Acura Rim cover?






Very nice.. Isn't it supposed to rain this weekend though??

As for the front bumper, I don't have one.. Personally, screw it lol.

I know bud.. I need to pick up some nice conical lug nuts for them first. If I can pick up a set in town with locking lugs then I'll put them on this weekend for sure.

And I just realized I just did what you always do.. Individually quote people

God.. I feel like a douche for posting so many times.. one after another... BUT..

I need to pick up some Conical lug nuts w/a locking lug preferably.. Anyone know where I can pick up some locally for cheap? I don't want chrome either.. I'd prefer a dark grey to go with the wheels if possible

yea its supposed to rain/thunder/lightning on Saturday but not Sunday (when hes actually doing my interior/exterior nor monday. So I think I will be ok.

I did say screw it to the front plate for as long as i could but racked up 3 tickets at 90 bucks a pop from the "patrol" trolling around downtown. I got one by the Eagle, and two on hennepin, they have nothing better to do. So I had them put the front plate on. THEN i got to parking violation to the tune of 165$ near the farmers market because my month and year stickers were on the wrong sides (even though the DMV put the stickers on) So I fought that one and luckily got the charge dropped. Got pulled over for the tint twice too, but have a Note from my eye dr to have the tints (missouri allows much darker tint than MNs 50% which is a joke) They should pay more attention to fixing the roads and less nickle and diming nice rides in Minnesota.

Thats cool, hope it was enough to cover the repair cost. I snagged mine in pristine shape with Toyos for 800. Checked out perfect with the acura dealer too so that set my mind at rest that they were bent or ghetto.

I would get your locks and lugnuts from RonJons site OR get the ones from Acura. They were able to swap my lugs and locking lug from my factory rims onto these no problem.

They can swap them for the stock ones, but from what I've heard, the stock ones (ball seat) will get loose over time, and that I should go with a conical/acorn seat lug nut set

I got the e-mail on my phone that someone posted, and I didn't have the before story. I thought someone on here was rolling without a front bumper.

I have the Gorilla small diameter spline lug nuts full set (20 of them) with the key. They also have the conical seat - 60 degree . Only thing is that they're chrome, but let me know if you're interested.

Actually they are in the box, so the box collects dust but the lug nuts and key don't . On a different subject, I have to clean up my 15mm Ichiba V2 wheel spacers and post them up for sale. Ran them with the stock wheels and old set up but the new set up doesn't call for wheel spacers. So I might just get rid of them completely.

Free dollars? Lol. Kids broke like Jorge said.. I got a 5 year old to support.. or my gf does at least..

In all reality though, I dunno what a used set sells for. I know I can pick up a new set for around $50, so like $25?

I'm located around the BP area. I'll message you my cell, I won't be able to do the deal tonight since I don't want you to take the drive to where I'm headed to. But I can do the deal tomorrow after I get off Church?

No problem bud, glad I was able to help out and save you a few bucks at the same time . Maybe when you drop your ride on coilovers and want that flush look, you can also pick up my 15mm spacers.

His are decent priced, but not locking.. you can pick up a set of gorilla locking lugs, I like the ones that I picked up from David.. Very nice having a FULL set of lugs that every lug is a locking lug

Hey guys. I'm looking for a guy who can do some header work at a reasonable price around the Twin Cities area. Basically, I bought headers and an exhaust from different companies and they don't bolt up with each other. I should have done some research first. I'm thinking the piping could be modified to fit. Anybody have any referrals?
