Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Fronts fit perfect. The rears are flush as hell, fender rolling definitely required. I was wrong about it rubbing the bumper bolt, its not. But it is rubbing a tiny bit, nothing that is shredding tire however. Its just leaving marks around the shoulder. I'm sure I could fix it easily. No spacers required....I was very surprise to see the amount of clearance between the front calipers. Did not get a chance to measure weight, but Chau said they feel very light (spokes are hollow).
I actually really like the color. I thought it was going to be some stupid bright silver, but it's kinda darkish. I'm liking the color at the moment. The BBS on the other hand, may get a bright CCC treatment, and become my winter setup. The pics don't do these wheels justice...I'm really happy with this impulse buy, lol
And no, that's not me with the "raise hell' t-shirt...

I needed to get that wheel bearing today in order to get it installed by tomorrow and make my track day on Thursday. Called up Beans and spoke with a guy named Scott who assured me they had the part and it would be on the delivery truck to me by lunch time. 4 pm rolls around and I call just to check, after sitting on hold for 10 minutes I got a different guy on the phone who said "yeah, it left here on the truck @ 10:30, you should have it by now".
I got to the shop @ 4:30 only to find out no bearing was delivered today. Called Beans back up, get Scott on the phone who tells me "oh, not sure what happened, but it never made the truck." I was like WTF!! So I told the dude I NEED the part and he tells me they close @ 5pm, but he'll have it waiting at the NAPA counter for me. I asked Scott "are you sure it will be there", he said "yeah I promiss". So I head home grab the wifes car and race up to NAPA before they close @ 6pm. Sure enough, I get to the counter and the guy says there is no part in stock... what a fu(king tool bag. I wanna punch that guy Scott in the ***** right now so bad. I wasted half my afternoon calling and driving around for a part that didn't even exist. I'm gonna call them up tomorrow and rip him a new a$$Hole.
I KNEW I should have asked the guy to put his hands on the part before i went up there.
I'm almost as mad at myself for not doing that as I am at them. Why does everyone I interact with when it comes to cars have to be a complete moron?
If you can't tell I'm a little pissed right now.

call tomorrow and ask for marc linder. he handles all the evos. he is quite a bit more informed and will talk to you like a person.
my experience with fred bean's is that they always are willing to help out but when it comes down to it they always fail.
ask the operator for marc tomorrow. he's your best bet in that dealership.
Just got back from the Oaks meets. Good to see some of you guys who I haven't seen in a while....Jeff, Nick, and Carl. And there were some new faces as well who I can't remember their names.
Here are the two shots I took....
Carl's White X
Jeff, Mine, and Nick's

So tonight, the previous owners of Mat's car threw in some 116 into the mix and turned up the boost to 35psi on the lil 5857.. He insisted I use these settings. Tq looks like a killer, spool on this car is close to stock on the 2.0
Petey, don't know if my eyes are seeing things, but the vehicle weight is 300lbs off from the base to the comparison pull buddy! Also, nice looking catchcan...I have the Saiko Michi, simple, baffled, works!
Tim, is Carl and asian kid. If so, I met him at the GV open house.

Sorry i didn't make it out to Oaks a few things came up & i just wasn't able to get away. The white X with the Te's looked awesome in person at GVauto. Makes me want a X MR touring even more.
How many cars made it out?

The comparison is just the comparison that is loaded by default, I am just too lazy to delete it, not really meant to be a comparison..Also, I have zero for passenger weight so the difference is 125lb
Saiko Michi? Mabye I should call this one John smith?

All the cars look very nice, I was just hoping to see a carcass hanging out of Jeff's car, that is all...
