Where o where has our Mantis gone. O where o where can he be.
It's been 3 days and not a post to be found.
I know, he's probably at the cart track boning up on his driving skills so he doesn't get whipped by us.

Seriously though, I've been there and have missed a meet for similar reasons. So if you can't make it between 8:30 and ??, that's cool.
But remember, the next time we meet I hope to have my new tread and will be looking to whip up on that CLS of yours. :P

This page is getting way too far down the forum. So.....Mantis, damn your car looks so hot in person. Those 19s and that drop made a comptech drop look like a 4x4. I didnt even want to look at my stock ride.:shakehd:
I'm disappointed you couldn't make it Jacob, I want a ride in that Vette raper.

hey guys... anyone know a white suped up early 90s or mid 90s 911 that lives in the Dalals area? annoying little big ricey exhaust... I raced him tonight on frankford... I pulled up next to him to have al ook... and he dropped gears so I dropped mine... this was at about 40... I pussed and only dropped to 3 so he got the jump but at about 55 or so I started pulling and by 70-75 he was gazing at the nice '03 tail lights... I slowed down once I hit 85 b/c Frankford is notorious for 5-0 lurkin' i nthe corners... he wanted to play again but I had to go home cuz Iw as beat... anyways... that's my first and proly only win against ap orsche...

BTW - keep me posted on the guy from Austin who might be interested in my wheels.
I actually went out and looked at some on Saturday, so I'm about ready to make the jump.
Also, found out that the TLS Michelins weight 23lbs, and I think the wheels are 24 or 25lbs. So 47-48 verses the 39-40 for my new set up should help off the line performance.

I wished I could have made the event but the acura gods decided to punish me instead, I got home friday afternoon and found a 2 inch nail sticking in the side of my pasenagr side rear tire. I bought 4 new sumo's therefore I have 3 almost new (2400 miles) mmxm 215-50-17 if anyone in the dallas area is intrested pm me. The only good thing was I got to start working on fitting the s/c.

Mantis, check out this game, you're prolly bored of that golf game right? This one will keep you busy at work. See if you can beat my high score. 28860 Level 8.

If your buddy is serious and is willing to pick them up for cash, I'll give him a deal for $750. But he will need to act fairly quick, so find out where he stands.
Thanks - RUF

hey do you guys know anything about the Comptech headers and whether or not ones made for the 5spAT will for my 6MT? b/c there's that guy selling them as you are all proly aware that's from Dallas... I'm going back for the w/end coming up and I wanted to get them... I need a place to install it for me too... anyone know anythinga bout this? anyways I start my first day of classes tomorrow... it's gonna be a bitch... back in Austin now though but when I come back for a break we should get back together and go to a REAL go-carting place like TVC... it's about $20 a race but they're 40MPH go-carts... really fast... indoors too so it'll be nice and cool (or warm if it's winter when I get back)... anyways... you guys take care and I'll kee pstayin on this thread to keep up to date...

the headers are different for the auto and 6 spd, sorry. I don't know of any specific place that will install them for you, i haven't done any looking around yet since the headers will prolly be pretty far off for me.

i dont know, i didnt go, and i havent talked to him about it yet, but when i find out, i will let you know. But based on assumption from other cars and other older si's, he probably ran around a 16.5, all he has is the CAI

coilovers shifted the negative camber just about 1 degree on my ride... and that is a 2.8 inch drop...

I agree, most everyone i've heard says you don't need any camber adjustment with comptech springs.

I'd say that used springs or coilovers are no big deal.. hell... the only diff between new ones and old ones is that they are dirty... and the springs have settled a bit. If you find used coilovers or springs, I'd say go for it.

I can be taught, but mostly I'm lazy.
Anyway, I just needed to see them regularly to keep me going until they get in.
I may need some help getting some pics of my old wheels on the forum for folks to see.
