that is what i was going to suggest, marc. sell the MR wheels and get another bad *** set of wheels. it will make it easier to decide which to run on the street and track.

 

I don't think it would be practical to have two sets of 18's. I already have two sets of 17s (stocker w/snows & BBS wheels), besides I love the BBS wheels and wouldn't want to get rid of them. But thats something I hadn't even thought of... thanks for giving me yet ANOTHER option to consider.

 

You asked *itch!

Do me a favor and drive by Adams on your way home and make sure my baby is all good.

 

pete, your car is all done and runs great. adam lent it to me for the day because i didn't want to get mine wet.

 

its all good, I went there the other day and borrowed some parts.

anyone looking to by a slightly used windshield cover/shade thingy...

 

Been looking for one of those things forever. Should be pretty useful at the autox events while in paddock. How much picked up?

 

Does that mean my car cover is gone?

I know a guy... $10 shipped. Paypal excepted...

 

Marc, I know a guy in you area that is selling 17x8.5 RpF1's for cheap. I believe they come with Michelin Pilot Sports.

 

chu, for you my friend it will be free, come see me on Sunday.

pete, that car cover was already gone when I got there, actually most of the good stuff was picked over, thats why all I got was the sunshade.

Ben, if you're talking about petes wheels they're already gone, he rocking Rota's now. besides, i would need a min 18x9.5"

 

I didn't take the cover, I should have though...

 

I'll take the free one from Marc. He got it from a guy, maybe same one you know!

Leaving Scranton in 1.5 hours Hopefully, it doesn't start pouring on the turnpike. I hate distance driving in the rain.

 

looks like my mind was made up for me. Going with a new set of Z1s on the BBS MR wheels, so that means the nto3's will only see track duty. Such a shame for a good looking wheel like that to only be used a couple times a month but atleast it will be the most competitive setup possible.

 

Good **** Marc. Now lets talk about what color you'll powdercoat them. Silver on white looks horrible in my opinion.

 

Congrats with the Baby Petey. I actually got a little teary eyed when I heard the heartbeat for the first time.

Marc, I'm glad you made up your mind. I wouldn't know what to do either. I want to pick up some wheels when I get the money. I'm into Drag Racing though so my decision is much simpler. First off I'll be keeping All Season on my BBS Wheels since they're pretty much the best street tire to drag with as far as being cost effective. And the 18x9.5's will probably have some Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on them.

Chu, you're just a lucky SOB who seems to get things for killer prices including FREE!!!!

Chu's Brother, the VTAK!!! was nice. I would probably still have it for a DD if it weren't for a "Series of Unfortunate Events".

I'm torn with the Manifold. I love the Raw look, and I probably like the Polished look equally as much once it's heat cycled a few times. As for the coating, I just don't see any that hold up real well without looking like crap over time. I like a little show with my go...haha. I wish I knew of any real testing data that would prove the coating to be cost effective. Again, I'm a drag racer at heart so I'm not worried about underhood temps that much. You guys doing the A-X stuff and HPDE I can understand. I'll just have to wait and see.

 

Do you think the bright polish look will take away from your valve cover? I personally like the raw look alot.
