The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

woke up to find spring isn't here yet, the days already started out bad.

ditto - but for now the sun is shining here and it's getting 'warm' - i've been cleaning out my car and i had to take my fleece jacket off 'cause i'm sweating! now i think we are heading down to LMS, are they open today?
 
Let me know if you guys need pulled out of anywhere. (stash)

thanks, jasen, i appreciate the offer!! but i know you live a ways away. if we are TRULY stuck with no other local options and it's looking like spring thaw until we can get out, i'll be sure to be in touch!!

LMS is always open for Team Ohio members. :)

However, we are having some difficulties with our Munroe Falls location so I will be meeting you at our Hudson facilities. (in other words, I haven't shovelled the drive and Spicy would get stuck and our compressor is still down. But my work is warm, dry and has a great compressor. I'll see you guys there later.)

And I'm sure I could've helped with the plug wires and coil packs.

ps- Great numbers for Spicy!!!

I make about the same with a 1.8L.


Just kidding! The car is looking beastly! Do they have any others shots from the dyno?

p.s. I'd redo the picture mask your address and phone number. ;)
 
Your statement is rather contradictory. How can you say buy the high end stuff when you talk about Rota Torques which are knocks offs of the real deal? I'm confused here.

That would be one of my rambling rants that doesn't make sense. At first, I thought I wanted Rota Torques, cheap and simple. But in the end, they aren't any "better" than OEM wheels, so I decided to go for a little higher-end wheels and purchased OZ Ultraleggeras. What is sort of ironic is that I bought them cheap, they were beat up, but they were high-end wheels that are a lot lighter.

I dunno, does what I wrote make sense? Instead of buying new $750 Rota knockoffs, I bought beat-to-s*** $750 OZs--and am happier that I did so. But at the same time, I cannot blame anyone for going the Rota route!

moral of story: function>form

no no it's all good. I have a set of Work Emotion CR Kai which are the same as the knock off Rota Torques.. Which is why your statement intrigued me a bit and made me look into it.


I paid a bit more for the real deal rims and I don't regret it at all. I've driven them through some shitastic roads in the New England area and they are still straight and true. <3 my Work rims.
 
Compressor is only down until I get outside and replace the check valve that's been sitting on the dining room table for the last two weeks.


However I could be a dick and say that the compressor is part of Timko Motorsports, but such an entity doesn't exist, so it's only funny in my head.

i kinda wondered how that would work once you returned home, since this all took off after you left ... : /

Which is why I was looking at compresors to buy for Lewis Motorsports. ;)
