If my speedo doesn't look right when I get the car back, I'm busting some ass.

what do you guys suggest to buy as replacement pads
and maybe rotors to go with them?
acura w*rld has a groupbuy going on, but for some reason, i want to say the same axxis kevlars were much cheaper during the groupbuy on this acl forum back in april
and of course buying the kevlar pads would require rotor upgrades as well.
your thoughts?

Seriously though, it makes you wonder sometimes what happens at some places . . the guys that originally did my tint took it to lunch or something . . I could have sworn it had about 21 more miles on it . . but didn't write it down.
Lucky they didn't wreck it or something . . so from now on I recheck the miles before leaving it anywhere.Ruf

picked up the car, the speedo looked ok.
just about everybody in there seemed to know it had nitrous.
one of the managers came up to me and said,
"thats the car that has nitrous, right? I bet it hauls ass hunh?"
But I don't think anyone took it for a spin.

last time i rotated my tires, i glanced at the brake pads
the rear ones were still very thick, but the fronts were harder to see because the calipers are bigger and block it
i just automatically assumed its cuz the front pads were wearing down

mantis: why pulleys? for only 10HP I think my $300 would be better spent towards a nitrous kit running a 75 shot.
Let's go to hooters by Central EXPY.
What do you guys think?

I'm in Allen, so the 75/Plano Parkway Hooters sounds great. Of course the Frisco one ain't that far away. Just let me know somewhat ahead of time so that I can get out there.
Casper
PS. My buddy with his 03 Suzuki GSX-R 600 wants to roll out! I told him I didn't think you guys would mind.

the pics came out so shitty bc I left the shutter open & had to keep it still for 2 secs.
Civic beat me every time. If I take out the 12s.. hes toast. :P
Some kids in a 75 shot Teg ran up on us. I raced one of his buddies a few nights ago in his 5 speed vigor. They saw civic and I hauling ass & busted a You-ie. We hooked up in the parking lot, bullshitted for 5 minutes. Then Civic & I proceeded to bust his ass both from a rolling start & from a standing stop.
I give the guy credit though, he was hanging in there, but his third gear was completly shot.
Most of the vids I have are complete shit. And the rest aer so so, no real reason to post them.
25 days till we can buy Casper a fucking drink LEGALLY.
Mark has nickel & dimed his way up the mod chain, & he hauls ass too.
Later fuckers.

o yeah, so it aws fun last night. came home and realized our Covad DSL has been down for 2 weeks and the f*ers haven't been able to fix it even though they came by last monday.
Fun night. I need to get my headers on and shit. Mantis gave me a real run for my money and I dunno how the hell Ruf is so fast! His wheels really make a HUGE difference. We should plan a track night.
