wow, i dont check in a week, and you guys go up 8pgs
sounded funny to me- dunno if anyone else thought the same way, but i think he meant we "came across" an E55 and not literally "running into" one.. imagine my dismay if i did.. and my insurance

You installed an alarm with remote start by yourself? Good job, how much did that cost?
IT was time consuming, but I used to do car security, video and audio for MobileOne AutoSoundout of New Orleans about 7-8 years ago. It's liek riding a bike, and since I am around electronics all day, it's not a hard thing to do, just tedious.

I would hate to have to fo through all the crap to find out they don't fit. Do you already have the wheels?

Bah, every time I see a meet up of some kind it's in north dallas/plano/richardson/etc.
I think it would benift the DFW people to keep stuff like this central like grapevine, or irving or something.
I am out on driving all the way up there for that

The Brembo 13" requires an 18" wheel. The 12.4" should be fine with a 17" wheel. Spoke clearance with the caliper is the issue here. You need 34-35 mm b/t the inside of the spoke and the outside of the caliper. Good luck! Either way your spare tire is useless in the front. If you get a flat in the front, you will need to move the rear to the front and put the spare on the rear OR call a flatbed and haul it to the tire shop.

mantis, a friend of mine was asking about Zaino, and it's been so long since i bought some that I forgot how the prices were thru that guy you know. Was it the list price but without tax and shipping? Also where does that guy live? I think we may head over there sometime soon and pick up some, let me know if you want any. Or anyone else here for that matter.
Thanx-
Thanx-

Here's the deal... its list price + tax, no shipping (pick up of course)...
He lives in Allen Texas... about 5 miles from Stonebriar Mall, off of 121. His name is Steve and his number is 972-743-9443. Let me know if / when you decide to go pick some up, or I can just pick up some stuff and give it to ya this weekend if you're in no hurry.
