Like 2 or so, we could meet at morrison and drive through evergreen, or drive through golden up to look out mtn

 

Dang Kevin, did you put that new avatar up just to make me jealous!?

 

Haa ha naw man. Wasn't feeling last avvy anymore. Plus this one rox!

Yo, what tires should I get?

 

I've always been a Yoko fan myself...

 

My Potenza RE960's kick ass...been on those for over a year. Had Mich Pilot Sport A/S on my stockies, those were pretty good too. I've heard good things about Yokos too though. If we didn't have to worry about snow I'd probably get the RE760's and call it good. But the 960's are really good all around.

 

Did your exhaust get here Zach????

 

a dedicated snow/winter tire, will still be even better in the snow, because it is actually designed to operate at a colder temp, then a all season which can't get too soft during the summer (so it has to be kinda on the hard side for winter)

 

These Potenza Grids are really nice. Not as highly rated as RE960s (I think ) But they grip the road really well. I haven't had any problems with them.

 

No update on the shipment yet...hoping to have some kind of update today. A Fedex sticker on my door when I get home from work would be the best obviously, but I don't even know where the box is at the moment. Online update is confusing...we'll see what happens. Either way I'm anxious to get it as you guys can imagine.

 

I hate that feeling Z. Don't sweat it, and it'll be at your doorstep before you can do the John Wall dance.

 

The view at Boheme was pretty good too... I was fucking dead yesterday.

 

Potenza RE960's is what i got and i love them lol so much grip

 

Yo Kevin I Mite Be off My Ankles Soon.... How Bout You Buy me Those Highly Needed Rounds LOL

 

Damn, I gotta chill with you fellas or something...I'm sure the view at Boheme was good Never been there...

Exhaust actually shipped today, no bs. Talked to Marcus, got an understanding of how it works with ATLP production & his shop. Supposed to arrive the 24th.

 

^^^ bout time! Can't wait to hear it AM photoshoot for the win!

 

iirc, they are done in batches, and are not made till so many people have ordered them (so very few are actually kept in stock)


btw i need more fliers

 

here are some new pics

 

just for you gio and your prelude...
FYI not for weak stomachs

Nice pics Will. AM on the ups and ups.

 

Lookin good Will. Are you still on stock shocks with your h techs? Are you coming to 5280fest...?

And AM shoot FTMFW! Definitely be in touch after install is done.

 

yea, i'm still on stock shocks, still feels the same when i first got the h techs and my car has 66k miles on it. dunno about 5280fest yet.

 

 

tab bit pricey but dope....especially when you take one home.



btw i am getting antz for the pictures after seeing digi's

 

you mean crabs....







maybe you should stop sleeping with those hoes

 

naw i got a cream for that man , i meant antzy or anxious. And it's not really "those" hoes when you know one and just happen to take her home from time to time... unless she brings a friend and i shouldn't have to explain how fun that is

 

TC...you're a lucky bastard my friend. Care to hook a brother up? LOL! She gotta be clean though

Been to shotgun's (better in the past, I've heard it's declined), and PT's was a lot of fun the one time I was there...

 

p0700 and p1739......... mother fucker. matt you may not be the only one anymore

 

could always do Player's VIP, one of the tow drivers at work wife, s there

 

how many miles are you at currently....
first signs where at 93k on mine, but got 120k out of it though before i replaced it, it was still going good too, other then the fact that i could not go on any long trips though, because fifth was fucked, and would cause the tranny to itself with enough time to heat up



just know it's not a cheap mod (mine came in at about $4500+) with most of the parts new at wholesale at the dealer, plus a used starter, an 05 tranny, then also the pedal's bracket used also, and the Clutchmasters clutch too
btw Flatirons has a set of shift cables in stock, they accidentlly had ordered 2 for me

 

Oh Ya!! Get The 3rd and You'll Be In Heaven. A lot Of Work but well Worth it.

 

I'm at 150k and now that it is more pronounced I can tell it has been slightly slipping for awhile. Honestly factoring in that it was in an accident I don't even think it is worth just replacing it with an auto again. I am going to have to do some thinking. If I do end up fixing it I am going to want to go all the way so I don't have to deal with it again though. Might think of third gen that already is a 6 with Navi, but honestly I don't have money for either right now.

 

Yeah haven't had that pleasure yet but I'm hoping!

 

kinda why i did the upgraded clutch right away (and why bother even buy a stock one , if i wanted to upgrade it at some point anyways), then it fucks up and i had to yank it again , but luckily it was all covered by clutch masters though, so can't completely complain
now only if excellerate had come out with his mounts like a year ago , i would not have had to buy the stock piece of shits


and as far as the accident with the tranny, as long as it did not hit it, it more then likely did not cause the issues with the tranny, they are not the best design out there to start with

 

oh no I know the accident had nothing to do with it I was saying that because it was in an accident there is no point in putting than much into it being that it isn't worth shit

 

accidents do devalue a car some, but as long as they are fixed correctly and quality parts used, not as much as you might think, compared to a car still with body damage (my hood and such)



also you say the car is worth shit, BUT it is worth more to you running though, because you know what maintenance has been done recently, and IF you did buy a different car, some of it will have to be redone, to catch the "new vehicle" up on it's maintenance and such

also i will say though at roughly 150k-200k miles is about the point where major repairs are kinda decided on, depending on the condition of the vehicle;
if beat to shit, it's going to be less worth it; compared to a vehicle which has been taken very good care during it's life, it can be kinda a no-brainer to fix it




look at my wife's old 02 caviler (which i have taken care of since like 40k miles, but it now has 157k on it; and still running strong especially for the mileage), it's worth SHIT, BUT it is worth more to me/us because i can still daily drive it, while my TL sits
and all the maintence has been done to it, along with new shocks and such at like 100k or so, so it still drives and rides nice (i have driven many vehicles with only like 100k, and i am almost scared to drive them, because they have been beat on so much)(not as nice as the TL though, but then again it was quite a bit cheaper car to start with)



biggest thing with that caviler is that it has clear coat failure on the roof and hood, so it does look the best depending on how you view it
and the A/C system also does not work either, because the compressor seized up , especially when you consider it is not used in the winter very much

 

Yeah I know what you mean, I have beat on it quite a bit and the rack is starting to leak along with two blown struts which I was planning on replacing with the springs... and the inevitable tranny now. We will see, thanks for the info.
