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

That looks sick! Damn you black and white cars! You guys can pull off crazy wheel colors lol.
 
Thanks!! I might actually take you up on that offer, assuming it fits lol! Would I be able to swing by tomorrow night around 8:15ish after my class and try it out?

Thanks!

Yeah, that's cool. Just shoot me a text tomorrow when you're on your way, I might be out at dinner with a friend.

Levi, I'm not hip to the orange. But I didn't like the OD green either. But I'm sure it will look cool in person. Did you ever paint your winter wheels purple?

nope never got around to it, til i was able to get the tires mounted it was already snowing so i had to put em on and never got a chance to paint them...



and thats ok if you dont like the orange... its gonna be a love or hate thing and i know not everyone is going to like it but im OK with that haha
 
Exactly, as long as you like it, that's all that matters. And I know you're not the type to get all "butt-hurt" as you kids say, about things like that.

The photoshoot in the spring at Swensons will be epic.
 
I think orange would be cool.

Just saw this today.

All these talk about wheels made me horny. So I picked these up today from a local cat on Craigslist. $300 is a little high for just wheels but I need new tires for the spring anyway. 17x7 +40 offset going to be painted gloss black with Yokohama Parada Spec 2's in 215/40-17.

they gonna be the DD wheels??
 
Yessir. The Enkeis will be my track wheels, even though they won't be seeing much track time... They bend too bloody easily. I bought Marlons Nitto NT-01's so they will be on the Enkeis.
 
side note: Does anyone know how to contact fishdonotbounce directly? I'm interested in his Corksport exhaust, but I don't think he is on the forums very often.
 
Anyone interested in Enkei RPF1s? I'm going to be lowering my car further now that I'm running 15s and these won't fit anymore.
I believe they are 17x8, +42 offset and 5x114.3 bolt pattern, Silver. They have a lot of scratches around the lug nut holes from the socket spinning against the wheel (been on and off the car a lot), but not many other marks on them. Currently have mostly used up 225/40/17 Hoosier A6s on them. I'll let them go for $650. Posting here because I'm not willing to go through the hassle of shipping.

Pic, in case someone isn't familiar with the wheel:

The brakes are now at the point where they aren't the weakest link. The snow tires I have on are now the part that causes the car to not stop as fast. I'll be able to get a full feel for the pads once I put my new summer tires on this weekend. I remember before with the oem summer tires and oem pads, the car would stop amazing (considering it was stock). But I did notice some brake fade the few times I had to make emergency stops on the highway and back roads. I live basically across the street from the MetroParks, so I see deer EVERY single day. I'd say about 5 time a month, I have to slam on my brakes to avoid the deer. I've actually hit a deer before, but I had stopped just early enough that I only hit the deer going a few mph. Not enough to cause any damage luckily!!! So in my eyes, brakes are a very crucial part of my car HAHA





Ya you're correct about XOWii racing going. I see Eric Meyer on the Participant list racing in the PTB class with his RX8. I'll definitely introduce myself! I don't see Freedom Autosports on the list, but they may not have filled out that part. I'll still look out for them.

I'm very very excited since this will be my first time on a real circuit race track!! I'm going to have to borrow a helmet, which I believe is free, I just have to give a deposit (Driver's license). It's going to be weird walking around in a t-shirt again!!! I won't want to come back to Ohio though haha!

Sorry to hear about Spicy, but yes, good thing you cancelled!!


Long road racinf will be there running in Spec MIata, just ask for Tom or Glenn Long as Lauri said, they'll take good care of you, as will Eric.

Not in a hurry at all. I really wouldn't be sad if I kept them. I can bring one down for you to try sometime, I'm not that far away.
 
Why I love where I live:

-12 hour day between student teaching and a college class this evening
-Come home, eat dinner, receive a phone call
-spend rest of evening helping lift and install a transmission on the back of a 1979 Ford 302 boat engine with the rest of my family

Another funny story from tonight: Some of you know that my family monopolizes the street I live on. We were making a huge racket cutting the top off of a oil barrel...my cousin goes, "we are waking up all the neighbors...oh wait, we are the neighbors!".............I guess you had to be there, but we had family from 4 of the 5 households on my street...
