Hey guys, looking to see if any of you, or someone you know, are selling any 18 x 8 rims. I need a 5 x 114 bolt pattern and preferably a +48 offset. Not real particular about how they look, although i'm thinking black wheels + a chrome delete on my car would look awesome.


Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Not sure how many of ya'll keep up with college basketball but I think it's fun. Didn't start a pool or anything on here this year, but post up your bracket and maybe we can get some interesting discussion out of it.

I wanted to start a thread about tattoos. As much as I would like this to be a judgment free zone, with this crowd, I can guarantee it probably will not be. What you have to understand is that this body modification is permanent. Its not "constructive" criticism to tell someone how bad or ugly a tattoo is. What actually is constructive is to tell someone who thinks they might want a cover-up tattoo to tell them where to go and what studios are cleanest, safest, and have the talent and skills to help them.

I know from my own experiences and encounters that some tattoos are just terrible. The artist may not have known what they were doing, the ink may have faded, or the wearer may not have known how to properly manage their new body modification. nonetheless, people that get tattoos are a majority of the time, proud of their tattoo. So please, if you do not like it, keep it to yourself. if the person asks for advice on how to fix it, manage it, or where to get a better job done then suggest it to them.

These types of comments are highly discouraged and if i can say it, not allowed or wanted:
"WHY WOULD YOU EVER GET THAT ON YOUR BODY?!"
"What the F-word is that?"
"did a blind man draw that?!"

No one wants to hear that something on their body, that they cannot change or alter, is disgusting, ugly, or questionable. A tattoo is FOR the wearer. it means or meant something to them and while they might love to show it off, it is not for your entertainment or unwanted criticism. people with tattoos have to live with them every day! respect that!

so now, if you have them and want to share, post some pics of your tattoos! future plans are also welcome.

I really need to borrow one. Or know if gas stations usually have them

So I bought those blue Kosei wheels with semi-lousy Azenis on them. Well, one was already flat-spotted and I managed to hit a big rock and mess up the sidewall on another.

Guess that means I need tires. 205/50/15 are what's on there now. I'm looking for at least two, cheap or free, to tide me over until I have teh monies to buy new tires. Anyone?

Edit: and brand doesn't matter that much. I have my stock wheels with ok-ish Azenis for autocross.

Big thanks if anyone can help me out!

sold!

The time had come for me to get something to replace my Tundra since it's getting long in tooth and I don't need a big V8 truck anymore and haven't for some time. I still however needed a support vehicle to get the CBR to the track. To that end I decided that I wanted a wagon or small SUV of some sort. And if I was gonna get a wagon it might as well be something I could do trackdays with so...







It's a 2009 so it's got the hopped up engine with the VF52 snail and stiffer suspension (over the 08). It came with the SPT exhaust on it but I may switch that out. I actually need to take a look at it because it rattles a little bit at low rpm.

I don't plan on modifying the car much in the near term future. For now I'll be installing a trailer hitch and throwing some better brake pads on.

But anyway I'm pretty happy to have a fun car again. Ever since my Integra got stolen 6 years ago it's never really been the same.
