alright mantis, I forgot for some reason I can't upload files as large as those pics at high res. So I guess I'll have to AIM them to you, I never use AIM, or even have it installed so I'll try to figure it out.

civic4982

any of you guys installed your iceboxes yet?

oh yeah and that looks like a REALLY fun day at motorsport ranch... how much did it cost? I really want to do that next time.

danny25

you must have forgotten about the triple icebox install meet we had. We met over at Inferno's and installed his, RUF's, and Nutz' icebox.

civic4982

any help on my thread guys?

civic4982

also, was it a pain in the butt to "trim" the parts they tell you to? I:'ve got a dremel...

what about headers? anyone install their own yet? I've gotta do mine in 1.5 weeks.

$300 plus expenses for The Drivers Edge events (two days, four times on the track each day for twenty minutes--pleanty of time on the track--plus instruction).

Membership is $2,400 but why bother with that when you can do these events?

InfernoTLS

Guys, thanks for coming out. That was a lot of fun. By the end of the weekend, I was better but still struggling to keep consistent for a whole twenty minute run. I kept missing my breaking points and messing up my apexes. A lot of the better drivers in better cars were flying by Sunday afternoon! I guess that is why you keep going back. Lots of fun! Cheers, Inferno

I can't see it!

mantis23

HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

CasperTL

well guys, sorry i couldn't make it out saturday morning... i'll be there next time for sure!

Mantis, I ran into the bluesman friday and had a chance to see pat and them workin on the ride... what ended up going wrong.

those cars looked real good and so does the STi

I so jealous...

but i'm still around just busy as hell with school, work, moderating DNE forums, and moderating silvia forums now... ugh

mantis23

electrical short somewhere... still hasn't been identified.

Bluesman

Looks good Inferno. When do I get a ride??

civic4982

damn that STi looks beautiful...

to trim that plastic we just took a utility knife and scored the line to cut, then bent the plastic back and forth till it broke along that line.

I helped with my headers, but I did the easy part, the front bank.

danny25

looks like bullaculla has you covered. It was all pretty straight forward, you won't have any problems.

DeezNutz

Inferno, awesome car. Congrats on getting such a beauty!

civic4982

sealed the deal on my CT exhausts guys... $100 + trade for my stock ones... what do you think?

InfernoTLS

I knew you guys would like the black with gold flake pearl!

Thanks--I drove it a little after work (about 7:30 last night right when the sun was going down) and found a few twisties. It is so well balanced. I gets around corners with neutral balance that has just a little more slip angle than fwd oversteer--it feels like it rotates around an axis about where the gear shift is located!!!

CasperTL

that's what you get with an AWD... just wait till you get that thing broken in and do a donut or two... the car WILL spin on the center point, which is usually near the shifter in these size cars....

so much fun...

mantis23

inferno, when is the next driver's edge event?

mantis23

backed into a truck saturday night, gonna cost $700.00 to fix.

DeezNutz

That sounds awesome Inferno.

Mantis, sorry to hear about your bad luck. Stay the hell away from me until this streak ends!

Bluesman

Mantis, Sorry about the accident. How bad does it look? Maybe you should consider an aftermarket rear bumper. If there is one.

Mantis, has Danny sent those pictures to you? Can you forward to me?

mantis23

not yet bluesman...

danny25

lucky bastard! how the hell did you get that deal!?!?!

danny25

I was gonna AIM the pics to you mantis, but them my brother went up to UTA so I gave him the pics to put on his webspace up there, then i was gonna post the links. But it turns out I'm already using almost all of the webspace. So he put them on the server up there, and when I get home later I'm going to try and move them around via ftp. Hopefully that will work. Sorry bout the delay.

Bluesman

Thanks Danny. Have you seen the twisty video? Some wild onehaned driving by Mantis. It looks like he came close to laeving the tarmack a couple of times.

Mantis did you post that video over at the Sacramento board?

danny25

no, I forgot to download those while at work yesterday. I'll have to check them out today.

danny25

Bluesman, did you want all those pics highres? Cause I was only putting up the ones mantis asked for, which were the ones of him driving.

mantis23

I'm not worried about the delay, I know you'll get around to it eventually.

mantis23

No, I didn't post it over on the sac board, Danny, would you do the honors?

mantis23

i don't know how many of you saw this, but for those of you that used to watch GI Joe cartoon, watch this

http://media.ebaumsworld.com/gijoe-porksand.avi

More of them here.

I was laughing my ass off.

Bluesman

If you don't mind I would like to see them all, Danny.
Thanks On the res what ever faster. I am on a dial up.

danny25

no prob, which one did you want me to post? I haven't even seen them yet.

danny25

If you're on dial up, as I am, take a look at this page. It's about 25 pics down to 800x600.

James from david Mcdavid in austin asked me how much I wanted to pay + my stocks for trade for his CT exhaust. I said "100 Dollars". He then continued by shaking his head in agreement. We then shook hands as a sign of contract in closing the deal.



He was gettin' rid of all his stuff. He works at DMD so got it all really cheap. Just wants his shit back to stock. The tips of the exhaust are a bit dirty and the muffler part has a few spots where the "stainless steel" part decided to rub off to a more matte finish. It's unseen since the tips are perfectly fine. I don't really like the look of the CT Exhaust but for the 2-5HP at $100 I'll take it. If not I can just turn it around later for profit.

I'm still waiting on my headers which should be in this week or next. As for my icebox I'm on waiting list and am going to pay when it hits my friend's distributor.

Mantis: yo uhit a truck!?!? WTF man? Such bad luck! How'd it happen? How's the juice running?

Danny25: I hate looking at those pictures. They just remind me I'm a student and don't get to play with beastly fast cars.
