Dropped the car off at the new Bariel Mitsubishi location to get my oil and transfer case fluid changed. Just feels wrong going to a place that sells Subarus as well. I should have asked for an STi loaner. haha

was that you in the GG X i saw while i was pulling out?

that place is a little weird, but their owners lounge is pimptacular.

they have hot chocolate, brownies, and pretzels. nothing like free munchies.

i do miss being able to hang out in the shop and BS with mike with though. i ran in to jabba up there too yesterday and we decided that we both have seperation anxiety about not getting to hang around the shop floor.

No that was Tom.....

Yeah the waiting area is awesome - i ended up going in before I left to BS with Tom for a bit while he waited on his car. I am torn on the new place - just doesn't feel right to me but I guess we have to learn to deal with it

Im actually heading down in 15 min to get the winters on - didn't think I would need them so soon but its actually snowing in central, pa where im heading this weekend.......where did the summer go

Heck if I knew that I would have waited around. I just dropped it out. I'll pick it up later this afternoon. Mondo, I drive an 06 AS MR with a CF hood.

Its okay, travis. You can sit there are argue all you want with me. At the end of the day, i made a mistake typing the information so what?? it really didnt matter enough to me to walk outside into the cold to read my tire size. I was called out on my back half power and i just went with the INFORMATION that was ONCE given to me. They are total drifter spec tires. And when you add up FULL TREAD FULLY INFLATED you will not have the overall tire height as one would have with 17/18 PSI in each tire with about 20% tread left.


No one cares that you wanna fight with me on here... If you wanna race, i will embarrass you, on your E85 tune on my pump gas tune. Soo please, until you have something to say at the track then stop talking on here.

and just for fun, i will take my car to sheets some time this week, let the air down to 18psi like i do at the track and measure the height yet again.. But you wouldnt understand that concept becuase you think everyone has BRAND NEW tires on 32 psi...

actually i care. i find it quite amusing.

why don't we set up a race challenge. strip/autocross/time trial. best two out three wins. then we can talk about who has embarrassed whom.

Not arguing / not fighting......pointing out once again you try and BS everyone on here, doesn't work when you cant keep your own stories straight.

No your right I know nothing about racing or anything about cars, etc for that matter - which is fine with me....but at least I dont try and bs people acting like I do.

Like I said you would find a way to back pedal....hard information wont work so you go to name calling and belittling people how your are superior, even though you were very confident with the numbers you provided earlier in a post without factoring anything you are now trying to say factors in the equation - congrats.

FYI tire pressure does not affect on rolling diameter especially at the top of fourth gear...

Not factoring anything in 2 any equation.. Did i say in my original post " i just checked and im 100% sure im running x size tires ??!! Come on man, you just argue for the sake of arguing with me.. And thats fine bc I dont get offended anymore..

Further more I am not a liar, and have nothing at all to lie about. So please stop with all the accusations..

Haha mondo this is not a triathlon, i kno my car wont do crap around a track or cones right now. I got 225's that are bald, i would even spin in a straight line.. This is a discussion of power, not handling. Not buying new tires till after winter.. In the spring ill be up to it.. As soon as your willing to drive to KY to do it.

Understandable, but figure that in to quick 60' with high mph then again with a lower trap with a mediocre back half.. There is no need to dispute. Im not changing a SINGLE power mod on the car. Next spring i will have taller tires, and i will "YET AGAIN" run a 116. Not sure why people care so much about the specs. I dont see one other person with my mods running 11's. The mph is irrelevent at this point.

well if you're only figuring in one type of racing that really invalidates your results.

i'll drive to KY. i got boys down in Lville that i haven't seen for a while. it would be a good trip.

and hell i just took my summer tires off yesterday, if you want a loaner set of tires for the triathlon i would more than willing to lend them to you, with proper collateral of course.
