bimmerworld's all on 17s... any recommendations on sources for 15" race takeoff tires in VA?


seems like a picture was needed :dunno:

What is wrong with these pictures an why is it like that???

Full Race the tuning shop known for there AWD RB26DETT 240sx (expecting 700 whp on race day running e85) will be entering it into the tuner challenge this year pitting it against fully built EVO's, STI's and a built porsche 911. On a side note after the challenge they will be releasing a AWD kit for 240sx's that can be assembled and installed in any shop (2800 pd cars w/ AWD capable of receiving a slew of engines)

heres the link

Title says it..

I'd say 7/10 condition b/c of scratches on the side and back of the seat from previous owner and mounting the seat rails.. It's missing the little rubber piece on the sides where the harness' pass through.

$350 - take it.

Just thought it may be helpful. I saw this on DCSB.net

it's not as detailed as Carfax, but it's simple enough to show an incident that may throw a red-flag. most importantly, it's free :thumbup:

Well I was thinking the other day that it would be pretty sweet to get everyone together for a day of cars and shooting stuff. So what better way then to head up to Skyline Paintball and play? I don't have a date in mind yet, but I wanted to make sure that it didn't conflict with any other MM shenanigans. If you are interested post up here. I think it would be a lot of fun to cruise up there, play for the day, come back and shoot the shit maybe have a cook out?

Can change the date but right now May 1 really looks like the best option.

So, I don't know if you ever watched the Tales from the Crypt show on HBO growing up, but I've always remembered this one badass episode and looked it up on youtube. "King of the Road" features waayyy early Brad Pitt, cheesy hot rod B-movie production, and a truly kickass '57 Chevy.

Come to think of it, I saw this when I was maybe 6 or so, and I think its that '57 among a few others that probably got me into cars. If you've got half an hour to kill, its well worth the watch:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Hit that 480p, the quality is much better.

Hey guys....I am a JMU alum looking to buy a 90-93 miata in the area for STS autox/tracking...I've been looking for a solid car for a couple months with very little luck. Anyone know of a car for sale?

thanks!

I'm Lorena Whalan, graduated 2004 with a nursing degree. At JMU I drove an 89 Toyota Celica GT-S, then bought an 03 Lexus IS300 upon graduation (great car; wanted the 2jz-ge, not the lexus badge). My current ride is a 2008 350Z, my grad school graduation present to myself. I've written about cars for the Breeze and Grassroots, have done time with NASA-MA, and now just autocross with Capital Driving Club and act as a car-buying consultant for my co-workers. I am currently a cardiology nurse practitioner in Washington DC. If I were more technologically savvy I'd put pictures up, but I guess we'll have to wait until the autoshow!!

To start off, I'm making this thread to track my cars history, progress and record the maintenance.

I picked up this car the summer after my freshman year. After doing alot of research it fit all my goals: Daily drivable, Available parts,TURBO, Decent gas mileage, In my price range, lots of room to expand, and well documented. I picked her up with a sr20det and a 5 speed swap (verts only came with automatics) already in it; due to the fact that it had alot more work done to it than I could of afforded, to do myself, on my budget. Heres a list of whats already been done to it Mod wise.
