Yea im burnt on this job already. Pay isnt that great, and it cuts into my weekends. Im tired of having to take time off to be able to do anything.

I got a call from that IMatch shit Oregon does saying im matched to some assembly job in Tualatin. Gonna call them back and see whats up with that. Id be willing to work full time again during the summer as long as i get my damned weekends.

Rail update:

Motor and trans are pulled, prepping new trans to go in.

Got my cup kit in saturday morning and installed them yesterday. The ride is "stock" like on the softest setting. Have yet to try full firm but i have it at 1+ on front and rear it handles extremely well while still being comfortable. Did some back roads last night and got some fender rub going thru some hard turns. So far im really pleased with them as it got me to my desired ride height without giving up the comfort.


Weekday meets are a not good for me either.

bluecarbonfiber

^ need to post a PIC or it never happened (rules of the room haha)

im down for a saturday july 10th ..at 2pm??? hopefully it wont be 90 degrees that day.. or do we want an evening meet?


forgot to add.. I put on the Hawk HPS pads upfront on saturday too and what a big difference it is between that and the EBC greenstuff. even in the wet driving i can actually stop alot better now (2 thumbs up for the HPS) i will replace my rears with the same pad once they are ready

Clean version of the background i made from her stuff.



Super nice. Going on the FX? If so...needs to be draggin its nuts around to pull them off.

bluecarbonfiber

i think a reverse version where its black on the face and polished would look great on the FX IMO but im a black rim person anyway

i was just looking around for wheels that look good and lighter than 40+lbs oem 20's and i came across this mrr wheels. only about $1300 for all 4 and they are about 10lbs lighter than oem's.


btw... her boobs are bigger than i expected

clee109

I like the wheels, would look good.

Bigger boobs is a def +1

bluecarbonfiber

+2 to fun bags

ABP1TSX

LOL i know that was coming... anyhow some pics. The old lady got me some T1R lugs/locks also.










+3 on the jugs. lol

clee109

Nice stance! just need a lil bit of extra spacing on those wheels.

bluecarbonfiber

stance looks great!! looks like you are about the same height i am.. did you get the car alignment done yet? i have an appointment on friday to see if im still close to spec.. lug nuts look good too.. wish my rims could of taken standard style lugs =/

ABP1TSX

Yup, the back needs like 5mm or so spacer and the front is fine but i might get a 3mm spacer for it.


Alignment has yet to be done but i might take it in on saturday if i have some time. These lugs were suppose to spline drive set so it could fit both sets of rims but AJR said they discontinued the spline drives. . These will fit my volks if i can find a super thin wall 19mm socket.

mugens are looking really good. and perfect height too.

update on MRR HR-4..

shipping weight (boxed) on the 20x9 is confirmed to be 34lbs. so each wheel should weight tad bit more than 30lbs.

pricing..

* Retail - $1880 not shipped
* WheelsNext - $1500 shipped
* Elementwheels (currently cheapest MRR vendor) - $1285.92 shipped
* Ocational forum group buys - Around $1200 shipped
* Speed Concept - $1060 shipped

Gosh.. Speeds always offer a price that is really hard to resist. Even beating out forum group buy prices.. With this wheel, its about 10lbs weight reduction on each corner, and $265 per wheel for any 20's are really great deal.. damn..

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

ok... i listened to you guys. now i have a big dent in my savings..


i saw a white one before. it was 06-up white tsx with euroR lip, grille, and lowered. asian lady was driving it and i thought that was really cool

mdkxtreme

Hey guys, I'm in Oregon for a little over a month. I took a 15 hour drive from orange county and enjoying the rain already. I'll do my best to make it to the meet

bluecarbonfiber

i knew you would.. too hard to resist =)


welcome! and hope to see ya there

clee109

Welcome, always good to have some new faces, I'm sure we're tired of seeing the same ol' same ol' lol

Min, get some pics up! I don't believe you did anything without proof

Kyle - you better be there, I need someone to show me how to actually use the EOS! Maybe some free expert lessons????? lol

ABP1TSX

I have seen that one before also a few times. Both times a asian lady/girl. Tripped me out because of the euro H grille was in my review and i was trying to figure out what car it was lol.

bluecarbonfiber

haha thats funny cause when i saw the black one yesterday i thought at first it was a 4 door civic.. i was thinking to myself hmm that looks good and then as it got closer i noticed the mirrors werent the same and then when it was in front of me i knew it was a tsx

mdkxtreme

Hey guys, oregon is tax free right? Well I need new tires and I think it's a good idea to buy them here instead of in Cali. Recommend any good tire place in Portland?

bluecarbonfiber

yes we are tax free.. i suggest America's tire aka (discount tire direct) if its a brand they sell they will match/beat any internet price... got my falken 452's, 225 35 19s as a pair through them at 315 i think.. if you want them to mount and balance its another 20$ a tire..

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

hey! just ordered!


it caught my attention in my rearview mirror too. i knew it was white tsx and as it got closer saw a euroR grille and than euroR lip and than asian girl. i was like dayaaaum!


america's tires (discount tires) for sure. and make sure to pack up some louis vuitton, gucci, prada, and coach outlet stuffs too

bluecarbonfiber

was it like DAYAAAAAAUMM what a hotty and im taken? or DAYAAAUMM what a waste of a good car? =)
