Eric she has great taste in cars, there more cars to that list but wayyyyyyy out of our price range. I.e. Audi rs6 wagon, audi q7,lexus rx350, 2014 is350 f sport, BMW m5. She a horsepower freak, she giggle when I said the is-f had 400hp. She wanted more than the 280 hp that the type s can push. When we first put on the xlr8 exhaust she raced an 2008 civic si on albramare rd lol. My wife ain't perfect but she will rev at u at a stop light.

Kind of torn. Here's what we have so far:

Jeep: "Summer" doors; Exhaust
911: Exhaust, Intake mod, Intake Plenum


Those are what's on the list. Not sure when we'll do them since we seem to be allocating money to other things. As for the FJ... not sure. I keep teetering between keeping it and getting a Raptor (likely 2011). If I keep it I'll likely get an intake and new front bumper. If not, well then I'll have a new truck to mod

105k service first....

....then Coilovers, upper control arms, Lower control arms, smoked white LED side markers, sarona spoiler.... yes all at once.....

...then after my next round of bills, wheels and tires, A-spec Kit. Probably gonna have to stretch the dollar more for this purchase.

The suspense is killing me waiting for paychecks!

Im looking for the following parts for my TL-S if anyone has any of them:

- ASM 07/08 Type S Front Bumper
- Coilover setup
- aftermarket exhaust set up

And if anyone has a hook up on a body shop, I would love my front end (at least the bumper) resprayed.

Eric next mod as i had mentioned to you before, WAS the recaro dc5 seats. i found an immaculate set on ebay. bought them and it has been bullshit ever since, after i sent the payment ive received 6 messages over the past 2 weeks explaining why he couldnt send them right away, then he said they are boxed up with his agent waiting for shipment, ill be getting a tracking numer asap etc etc, all bullshit. now he wont respond to messages when i requested a refund for non shipment so im going through paypal with a claim. the seller has until the 20th to respond so hopefully everything will work out in my favor.

seats are still next mod, but gonna go with a set of Status in suede as i had originally wanted.

after seats id like to do a rear diffuser!

My car is currently having some maintenance items installed: PS pump, front motor mount, and valve cover gaskets. I'm switching to Mobil 1 High Mileage too.

After that, I need to replace the armrest cover and eventually have my roof re-wrapped or even painted. New wheels would be great but I have champagne taste on a beer budget

Jason, have any 18" wheels you're willing to sell?

Hmmm...coilovers are a must because my rear shocks may be blown or on their way, UEL headers with U-pipe, different louder exhaust (maybe the Invidia Q300), swapping out my BOV with an HKS (louder), boost gauge and and turbo timer, different top mount and intake (likely Perrin) and down the road a lighter clutch. My 6 puck stage 2 is very tiring in traffic and chatters too much.

I can see those looking really good on your car. Three shades of blue all working together. The blue pearl in the paint, the blue spoon caliper, and the matte blue.

Yeah I think they would look really good. They come in some good fitments as well. If I could get the JPs to sell and cover 75% the cost of those I could get them.

Well I have come to a slight bump in the road. I only want them in concave fitments. However, I want my next set of wheels to be able to be my show and my track wheels. So now it will be whether I can convince M&M Honda to sell me flares so I can run the 18x10 and then get the the #3 face. This idea just got more complicated.

Maybe I will just go back to my previous plans for the car for this fall/winter.

I'm very serious. However, my bank account is not

And I'm very particular about wheels since I've had the same look for so long, so I'll have to see what he has to offer

Cool. I'll check them out. What ball park did you pay to have the front repainted? I just want my front bumper and ASPEC front lip painted together so they're at least a 100% match.

Oh man, don't remind me! However, I must say those would look pretty good now with my current ride height and if the right sized tires were mounted. That's back when I had no idea what I was doing and had money to blow.

I want a 18x9 +30 with a 235/40. No lip, flush face with possibly some concavity.

About to go take the TL out for a drive. That's all I ever want to do now that I've got the new tires on the wheels. Might go to the northside and check out the new audi dealership and then try and snap some quick photos at my favorite vantage point of the city.

You thinking about getting one?

Eric, if you get a canoe, after Dorthy, dibs.

Aside from that...

Girlfriend has been obsessing over biking and being active and doing things to 'get in shape'.

I was always into biking and soccer as a teenager, figured I would dust off the old BMX bike and Mountain bike and start doing somethings. I have even considered selling both of them to try road biking or get something new/newer. Late night thinking always has my mind everywhere.

I priced out a Yakima rack or even a Thule... ha... I dont have $600 to spend yet... I'm gonna wait till they are on sale most likely, but this is a forum, so open though open question...

Thanks Tyler. I almost left that photo out but decided to keep it and edit that one. I left some room for your TL. But you never showed up so it's just blank space.

You could still run a 245 on a 10 and technically be functional (same stretch as many OEM BMWs, etc...) What's stopping you from running something like that?

Eric, nice shots as always. The TL looks even more beast now!

Basically my fenders are stopping me from running that. I had to run 215s on the 18x9 +35 wheels I was running before. I want to remove some of the negative camber I have in the rear for when I take the car to the track and I don't want to have to make adjustments from daily and track driving regarding the camber once I get it set.
