Rubber is rubber

Until you get her prego...

only takes one screw up before you start buying the quality rubber. I bought Nangang once.... slid all over the place and wore them out.

 

[Lewis7789]

Evan, saw you post on Facebook about some JDM tails, thinking of getting them?

No way. Alex tagged me in the post and I sent him a text saying I've got $165 eBay tails that look just fine. If I were to spend $380 on tails I would get the Car LED ones for $400 like Fez has. But i can't justify spending that much on an exterior mod anymore. Heck, my dip job didn't even cost $380. haha

 

[Kiseliok]

Yea, I got lucky with the original ones - bought them for cheap just because it was one of the first 10 sets.
Definitely would think twice about paying $400. That's rough.

I have a confession... I touched your track wheels. They were light and sexy! There I feel better now

 

[THE Phen]

LOL. It's alright Patrick. I likely would have done the same.

 

[princess peach]

I did more than touch them. I'd wear gloves next time you move them.

 

[Kiseliok]

Nasty bitches...

With all the rubber on the wheels I think they're actually pretty heavy compared to my street RPF1's. And stop playing with my toys when i'm not home, creeper. haha

This is me today:


I'm trading a nice fellow my MagnaFlow exhaust for his CPe exhaust. Swapping them out tonight at Marc's (because he's such an awesome friend and let's me use his lift!) I'll try to get video of the two setups tonight. If it sounds half as good as Ryan's red MS6 then I'll be thrilled.

I stopped at Conrads in Akron this morning for an alignment and to get the new/used Conti DW's mounted up. Feels pretty good.

Then gotta swap a leaky brake caliper this week and bleed the system again, I want to open up the grill holes for the FMIC and fog light cover for the PS cooler Saturday night after Mark is done tuning (hopefully).

Then auto-x Sunday and track day at Mid-Ohio Monday. I'm very excited.

 

[pmartz16]

And slumber party!

 

[Lewis7789]

How could I forget the slumber party at Patricks Saturday night!? We're going to build a fort, play NES and drink Mountain Dew allllll night!

 

[pmartz16]

Looks like I need to go grocery shopping. All I have is Easter candy and ice cream.

 

[bigsho]

Excited to hear the exhaust. Single or dual exit?

 

[Lewis7789]

Patrick, no need to go grocery shopping. You already have the essentials.

Sho, dual exit. I wouldn't be able to rock a single exit with a dual exit ports. My OCD would bug me. haha

 

[pmartz16]

I don't understand how gen2 guys do it, I know there is a power advantage but still

Power > logic, aesthetics, sensibility...

Hell, half them fuckers plastidip everything anyway.

 

[WillD]

I'd do it in the name of weight reduction. Screw power.

 

[Lewis7789]

Wait a tic. Don't you have a dual axle back aftermarket exhaust on the STi, Dr. Dodd?
