I am doing some digging on the cars that one first and second and I am starting to think I might have been placed below them since I left negative comments on Hday Facebook page about how the event was run. They are not bad looking cars by any means but neither are fully complete builds.

I found the winner of 1st cause he posted in the TSXClub.com Facebook group saying he won first. 2nd place went to a white 2nd gen which I can only assume is the wagon. They were both heavily stanced and VIP style. Factory seats with VIP tables and curtains on the inside. Custom sub installs with air ride. Neither of the cars had any engine work from what I can tell. Slowly gathering pictures of first place

That is the part that was making the is300 run like damnit. New one was found for $62 shipped off ebay and it's been running perfect ever since. Gas mileage went way up. It's the oil control valve. Feel like buying some side skirts for the car now.

He will lose his steering wheel buttons for cruise control if he buys your spoon steering wheel.

You only have two RE30s 
And yeah...I really want to keep cruise control. 2/3 of my commute is on 485.

Order the other two. And then when you are ready to buy the ones from me then you will be set. It's easier to buy volks two at a time.

You might have bought the wrong car if you are using cruise control in a s2000.

4 years of back tax. That was a great snap chat. Although I thought it would be. Much worse than it turned out to be.

9 +40 all around is a pretty sweet setup if you're willing to roll your fenders...

Hmmm GoPro could be fun. I was already planning to make a trip up to Mooresville on Saturday to hit up the lake maybe I will make a stop at the track as well.

Do it! We'll be there around lunch time since the track is closed to rentals until noon.

I would remove the IS250 badges ASAP. No one wants to advertise how slow that thing is Plus, symmetry ftw.

You meant to say "buy her an ISF" right?
I actually don't mind the F-Sport wheels.

Besides, you got her hooked on that GSF now...and that's definitely not happening unless I somehow have a breakout job opportunity for 250k a year. Too much debt lol.

We've actually sold two GSFs within the last month. One guy went from a black/black 2015 GS350 F-Sport with 8k miles to a black/red GSF. The other guy went from a fuggin pristine 2008 ISF with 48k miles to a white/black GSF.
