Ive had a rim repaired there. The crack that was fixed was welded but nothing was done to make the weld flush, and the "Slime" that i used (i know that shits horrible but i needed a quick fix) was not washed off the tire or wheel, and the tire got mounted back onto the wheel even though i said not to remount. I didnt find all this out untill the wheels had been sitting for about a month when i got them powder coated.

Of course...it wasnt thier fault some how.


What wheels you getting?

Looks like google backed out of the ad deal with yahoo. Department of Justice was giving them to hard of a time. Would have been sweet to have our adwords show up on Yahoo searches as well! Would have made me look better around here when I pull stats lol.

Enkei Bortex -

I would like some Volk GT-U but I need to budget for black friday

clee109

I think Min had those same wheels on his TSX before the TL-S. They were hot.

yeah, they are one of my fav rims. Kinda lame how I have to drop so much money cause of a stupid pothole. Driving in the rain with down leaves all over the place on a spare tire sucks btw

So does this mean Google Chrome just nose dived?

Those are nice and Enkie makes quality wheels. What size/offset you going with?

Do you have the spare on the front or the rear?

Thanks for the update! sorry about your luck but new shoes always are good right? makes the car love you back just alittle more

bonknhead

Curious about this too. I think I've seen your TL-S around Hillsboro. I thought you were dropped, but I don't see it in your sig.

fobstylez

iTrader: (3)

They are 18s, sorry, I dont remember the offset. I'm not dropped, I have springs but I think I'm just going to wait to get full coilovers. I'm in beaverton but I rarely head out towards hillsboro.

bonknhead

Ah, so you shouldn't have any problems rubbing, unless you're running a really low offset < 40 or so. Hopefully you won't rub when you get the coilovers or you'll have to trim bumper tabs or roll your fenders.

The SSM 2nd Gen I saw a few months ago was dropped, had a kit, and had gunmetal rims. Looked pretty sweet, but he/she was driving like a grandma

EuroR08

those are sexy

and since volk raised there prices again there even more expensive - its hard to plan for them with all the other mods always poping up first

EuroR08

coilovers FTW

fobstylez

iTrader: (3)

yeah, if you see my driveway, you wouldnt be in a rush to lower it as well. Volks raised their prices? that sucks.

bluecarbonfiber

my ex had those rims on her rsx-s they are great rims.. light too.. only pain is cleaning them where the Y is on them you have to get a towel in there and rub it back in forth.. but awesome rims!

sT04Louis

Ive got the same issue with my wheels. I actually picked up a wheel cleaning kit at Harbor Frieght that has two basically micro-fiber towels on a stick. Gets wheels super clean without worrying about scratching the wheels

Best part...was only like 5$

clee109

No, chrome is fine, if it quit working it may be some sort of application running on your end, or if you updated the update may be the issue. I'm running it here at work no problem but I rarely use it other than for cross browser testing. Google has been having alot of issues with gmail as of recent to with service outages that can last for days and any email sent in that downtime is not ever received. Growing pains I suppose....

EuroR08

ehhh not such a fan...i think im going to go the spare tire route for the TL its simple and saves space - i find it cost effective too...

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Yea io emailed IT they says its probably a proxy setting. Ive changed nothing since its been installed a few months ago.

Oh well.



I want the subs from the side because i wanna order a 5th spare and show that shit off in the trunk.

bluecarbonfiber

I need to get one for my rims i get lazy and dont always do in between the V of my rims..
harbor freight is 5 minutes away from me. coulda done a quick photo shoot hehe.. you go to the one off of interstate?

BTW.. got my tracking number for my part from japan YAY!! be here in about a week

So i think the VOLKs come off first chance i get to get into my dads garage.

Stupid rain...

fobstylez

iTrader: (3)

Agreed man, I dont mind the rain but not if we get rain straight for weeks. Weather this morning said its going to rain the next week!

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Its changed 3 times since sunday.

Ive been working too much lately to have time to wash the car much less the wheels as much as i should, and i defenetly dont want to go screwing them up.

clee109

wait until they start laying deicer out on the roads

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Ill put them back on for the PDXmas show.









Then take them right back off

bonknhead

Sheesh, I haven't washed my car in two weeks! Vacuumed the interior (stupid leaves) a couple of times, but no sense in washing when it's been raining so much.

EuroR08

oh it'll be horrible...im glad i just drive around the corner from my house...its actually quite sad i can walk to the max station faster than i can drive when there's ice on my car - but i still take my car.

i get sad if i dont drive anywhere tho and i usually go to work and home =[

clee109

I HATE max with a passion......seen some sh*t on their, never will forget.

When i was living in forest heights it was a nightmare to get around in the winter....Glad that's over with.

EuroR08

haha i drove my car to cali for the weekend of the 25th...its horrible...but i live in a apt and the water is shut off for winter

EuroR08

ugh i hate the max with a passion too...but my work pays for my pass --- and thats a lot cheaper than a few hundred a month for parking + i'd have to pay gas...

i really wanna get a car pool card - then parking is only $55 a month for street parking (in the designated areas) but i have to have someone apply with me at the city and prove they work down town and i know no one

You should ride the Metro Link thats in St. Louis...hah some crazy/funny shit there.

My work has a pass for 20$ per year, but when i mapped it out...it would take close to 3 hours to get from Wilsonville to Hillsboro.....F a bunch of that.

Wake up earlier to get to work later is for the birds.

clee109

^^^ It's called co-workers.

bluecarbonfiber

I am lucky enough i have a parking garage provided to me and i live 15 minutes away.. only thing i worry about is the parking garage is falling apart so i am dreading the day a huge peice of rock lands on my car.. Knock on wood...

EuroR08

max takes way too long --- and is never on time - so irritating i cant wait to have a suga daddy who just pays for my parking

and i dont have co-workers who live on the west side. my work used to be in milwaukie so ev one is from there :/

EuroR08

oh that would be so un-cool....i will be avoiding that place...

bonknhead

My company pays for a TriMet pass too, but I would never take the bus from Hillsboro to Portland. They subsidize my parking instead - in a nice underground parking garage. I only pay $30 a month - a rate that hasn't gone up in the 15 years I've been here.

I have a suga mama but she does not support my car habits. I have the best parking spot, right in front of my work window. I can stare at who comes and goes next to it. I actually had some dude try to squeeze in the spot in front of me, hit me, then drove off. But since my window was there I got the plates and ended up with $500 in my pocket for a few scratches.

So when I was at Panda Express with Kyle a while back he asked me what JDMLove was in my signature. Flattered that someone actually paid attention to my signature I went on to tell him that it's a "blog" site I'm building. Anyways I am now starting to add content and am looking to recruit authors.

The goal of the site is to be a difinitive place to hear about the latest parts, trends, etc... involving japanese auto's. The goal is to have authors that really know their stuff from honda, toyota, nissan, mazda, suby, and mitsu post reviews, diy's, thoughts, ideas, etc....

On top of that there is a sponsor spot where I'd hope to have some shops and/or forums have their ads, it'd be 100% free for them to be there and I'd provide analytics for how many people go from jdmlove to their site. It gives them extra visbility and makes my site appear to be more legit and get more traffic.

Anyways, I have started writing actual content for this now and I am setting a few extra people as authors. Anyways if you want to be an author let me know, the more the merrier, people just need to stay on topic at all costs, so no chit chat, no stupid posts, etc.. (not saying we are stupid, you know, no typical forum flames).

If you know of a shop or something that'd be interested in being on the of first sponsors let me know! It'd be awesome to have them there.

Take a look let me know what you think about the layout etc... Thanks for listening to my shameless advertising!

bluecarbonfiber

i hate when people do that.. no one ever wants to man up to the mistake instead they rather run off.. good thing you got there plates!!

another reason why i got the camera infront of my house.. already had to get my bumper repainted from someone trying to parrell park in front of my house

EuroR08

oh your so lucky. i guess my company used to have that option when we were smaller but not now...
