Boring....i hate watching mayweather fight, he's such a technical boxer, he's damn good though, never misses an opportunity to really do damage.

I'm so jealous....TE37 are one of my many favorite rims, wished there were some authentic one at 4x114... =\ That or some Enkei WRC Tarmac Forged.... Wishful thinking.

Ray, you live in California, you are obligated to lower your car more! NO FINGER GAP or even 1 is acceptable.

Naw, as much of a cheapshot as it was, as soon as u leave the corners it's game on. I don't condone wat Mayweather did but hey, he's the acclaimed winner, not much u can do at this point, he did say get a rematch if he wanted lol. Mayweather ain't a bitch....sorta.

Cause he's scared to fight pacquiao. Lol. Just kidding, but surely this is going down in the books in the boxing world.

Both. Ortiz pulled an unnecessary bitch move with the head butt. Who gives a shit how frustrated he got, Mayweather's defense is annoying at best but it works and obviously got to Ortiz. If that little head butt wouldnt have happened I think it would have been a great fight. Then Mayweather taking that cheap shot was just ridiculous. Cortez wasnt even paying attention and the only reason he counted Ortiz out was because one of the officials on the floor started yelling out the count. Cortez was just as confused as Ortiz and it was an obvious cheap shot.

Best part of the night was when Larry Merchant told Mayweather off. Funny as hell.

Not trying to hijack or go OT but the guys that post here would probably know the answer to this q.

I need a place that does a good 4 wheel alignment on my 02 TL. The distance between the front and rear wheels on the passenger side is about 3/8" shorter than the driver's side. Caster/camber/toe is fine but the problem is with new tires and wheels the right front rubs when I drive in/out of drive ways and driving into downtown LA the right lane is quickest but has the most dips (at practically every friggin intersection) and the tire rubs against the back/top of the inner fender well. My local old school mechanics (that i trust) can get basic alignment spot on said I have to go to a shop with a (insert name of fancy machine here) 4 wheel alignment machine to square it up...

Went to a place in Hawthorne that has some digital computer 4 wheel alignment and without even looking at the car, he said it would be $300 and a full day job.

There has to be a better shop/price/solution - can you guys help?

Lol That thing went viral. "If I was 50 year's younger, I'd kick your ass" Then like 10 minutes later, "I don't think if I was 50 years younger, I would of kick his ass."

Not going to lie, but at some point the head butt didn't look intentional from my point of view. Honestly looked like he just wanted to get in and hit his head but Mayweather kept tippy-toeing back, making him a bit taller. Atleast thats why I think it was just an accident. Either way, who takes a cheap shot at someone defenseless, atleast have some dignity.

Exactly, which was one of the main focuses of the commentators. If Mayweather is as great of a fighter as he says he is, then a cheap shot like that is completely unnecessary.

He should seriously be ashamed of winning a fight like that. Ortiz better take him up on that rematch offer..... if Mayweather sticks to his word...... but I can see that not happening.

I'm not taking sides here but as a fighter lets just say you get headbutted and soon after u get sliced again. I'm sure most of you would be pissed, and seeing as how short of a temper Mayweather has his actions are justified whether it was cheap or not. Still though, smh at Mayweather doing that.

I do recall, "Never let your emotions get to you" Both fighters are at fault (Ortiz Apology and Mayweathers, "Fuck you for headbutting me") Atleast from my perspective. Oh well, I'm done with the whole ordeal. Mayweather is flashing his money like its whatever, and the fans are saying, "You can't say shit, mayweather got more money then you blah blah blah" Honestly, I don't care about the money, thats not relevant to the situation.

yea, i've seen some pretty good numbers made with the 3.8

but the stock trans can't handle a lot.... when i had the headers, exhaust, intake and reflash pushing about 310~ whp, it was only cuz the stock clutch couldn't handle all of it and it was just slipping...

an auto with the same amount of mods did 340whp so........ lol, i'll probably get like a stage 3 if i want to keep pushing more whp.

but... miata has me more occupied than the genesis at this point.. lol

doin work baby.. whewt.. taking my time changing out the head gasket.. then put on my new water pump..



its pretty dirty in there.. a lot of the nasty coolant spilled out and its just nasty. lol

Looks like were having the same kind of fun. Im waiting for my head gasket and bolts to get it before I can put the engine back together, but everything is coming together nicely.

I was thinking that I wanted to buy a bunch of mods while putting her back together, but then I remembered the Contour. I never drove the contour stock before, so getting the 3L in it from the beginning didnt give me a chance to see the difference between the two.

Thats how I feel about this one at the moment. I would rather drive it stock for a while and gradually put parts on so I can see the difference.

Ultimately I want to go with an Rb26DET (yes single turbo) or an LS6..... thinking the LS6 may be too heavy for what I wanna do.

Your talking about the crank bolt right? Ever try the turning the engine over method? That worked beautifully on my old TL.

Didnt work so well on my DSM, mainly because the crank bolt NEVER needs to come out lol. It has four bolts that hold the crank pulley on and I had completely forgot. Needless to say, I broke some ratchets and breaker bars.

Yeah RB would be nice, but I may need to sell a kidney to get one.... meh.... I got a spare.
