-Get better suspension-
-Get a tune

So yeah, it sure does look good, but it needs way too much to for me to spend $15k on it.
I hear you, maybe he'll drop the price

Only thing, it was wayyyy out there in Royce City, which is a solid hour from Frisco, and probably 1.5 - 2 hours from where you are.
Cool, how much you win??

Man, I wish I could play gold better. I am lucky if I can just hit the ball without topping it.

I was talking to him about it, and he is pretty dead set at it now. He does have a hell of a lot of money in the car, I will give him that (S15 front end and new paint to mention some big things).

Mantis, should I expect this when i get around 70K miles? I hope not. Besides a potential bad tranny, what else can I expect???

its the bragging rights I'd rather have.

I usually just stick to the blues, the golds can keep to themselves.

Cool, good luck!!

Well, I am out of here to pick up my plates and head to the track-wish me luck! It is a little hot though, so we will see what happens. I am going with a budy who has a bone stock Z06-should be interesting!

Bragging rights is worth a hell of a lot more than 50 beans.

not at all, this was due to heavy stress on the from CV joints as a result of lowering the car so much in the front (~3-3.5 inches).

I tell myself that almost every day. But then I forget to make time, play a round, struggle almost the entire time (front nine, and then some) with my swing, and then figure it out, start bombing my drives and hitting greens for the last 3 or 4 holes, then forget what I figured out the next time I play.

I don't think so, what's the name of the course?? I like to play the muni courses in the metroplex (i can get pretty good coupons on golfq.com), mainly in Funkeetown, but have played Indian Creek in Carrollton and Twin Wells in Irving. Not too bad

Indian Creek it pretty damn nice (tough greens). Twin Wells has BYOB so its a win win situation!

Are you playing this weekend? I usually tee off around 7am in the summer, but I can't make it with my normal group due to a 9:00am appointment on Saturday.

If you're playing Saturday, and have an open spot, hit me up and I'll see if I can make it, hell if you're playing Sunday, hit me up too.

And thanks for the golfq.com website, I can sure use some coupons, this shit gets expensive!

I think they stick out a little Trey. I remember seeing another CL with them on there. I think the offset is a little diffferent, but still doesn't look bad.
