Shamelessly cross posted from a Subaru site. When I saw that my jaw dropped.

these are the tires.. they were on my car for about 2k miles.. no burnouts, drifting, etc. awesome tread left

Fusion ZR1

The Fuzion ZRi by Bridgestone is the Fuzion brand's Ultra High Performance Summer tire developed to meet the needs of sport compact and sports car driving enthusiasts and tuners. The Fuzion ZRi combines advanced UNI-T technology with affordable pricing and is designed to provide crisp and responsive handling and traction in both wet and dry conditions. Like all summer tires, the ZRi is not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

UNI-T technologies focus on three primary tire components, the beads, casing and tread, which influence overall performance while enhancing comfort, handling and traction. The Fuzion ZRi molds a Long Link Carbon (an advanced form of carbon black) and silica-reinforced tread compound into an aggressive directional tread design to enhance dry traction that also evacuates water from between the tireÔÇÖs contact patch and the road to improve wet grip and reduce the possibility of hydroplaning. Internally, the Fuzion ZRiÔÇÖs casing and twin steel belts deliver responsive handling and cornering stability. The steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon to provide high-speed durability while minimizing weight and maximizing ride qualities. The Fuzion ZRi features Rim Guard rubber ridges on its lower sidewalls to function as bumpers to help protect wheel from curb damage.

Alrighty guys, the new shirts came in yesterday and they look awesome! Big thanks to SOS for printing these for us.



We will also be making a Hoodie/Polo/Hat order in the coming weeks. I will be placing the order on Thursday October 26th, the day after the meeting on the 25th. That gives everyone two weeks to decide what they want and make the proper payment arrangements. The prices are as follows:

Hoodies:

$20 for a screenprinted design that looks either like the t-shirt design above or this:



$29 for embroidered Hoodies like the past ones we ordered. Same emblym as above embroidered across the left chest.


Polo:

$20. All will be black with the emblym embroidered in yellow over the left chest.

Hats:

$15

These hats will be Flexfit hats. They come in either S/M or L/XL, so decide how big your head is before you order a hat.

Unfortunantely the style with the gold sandwhich on the bill between a black top and bottom is no longer availalbe, so the hats will be black with the emblym embroidered in yellow.


For those that are not around JMU or want to pay via paypal, the Paypal address is <!-- e --><a href="mailto:mmsports@hotmail.com">mmsports@hotmail.com</a><!-- e --> . If you pay via paypal please include a message or PM me telling me what you are paying for, the size, and how many.

Thanks everyone.

so this morning on my way to work, i hit a lady in her jeep wrangler. i didnt even make it out of my fucking parking lot but i didnt see her coming and i tried to make a left turn. completely my fault. luckily, her jeep has the big metal bumper in front so it didnt do shit to her car. she was more concerned about my car. the miata didnt fare as well. well actually i'm not sure yet. the front bumper cover is fucked, there's some bent metal underneath, but i didnt really have a chance to take a good look cuz i was on my way to work. but it was such a low speed hit, that i doubt it did much else. i just turned around, parked it and hopped in the subaru. i'll need a new front bumper cover, i dont think it did anything to the bumper support. the front edge of the passenger side qpanel is slightly bent and the headlight might not be aimed correctly. like i said, i havent been able to check it out thoroughly, but i can probably get some long bolts, drill through the plastic bumper cover and secure it that way so its not floppin' around. do you guys think that it will still be track worthy seeing as how summit is only 4 days away? i know its hard to say since i dont ahve any pics and my description is vague, but i'm not very knowledgable on body work, so is there more serious shit i should be looking out for underneath?

fuck!

My F'ing computer just died! I was completely fucked up and got on the phone with Dell support for like half an hour... and apparently my hard drive connection cable to the motherboard is fucked... or the hard drive itself is fucked. So gay! I have to use my broth3rs old computer now =(

Any ideas? I can't even start up windows now.

Discuss.



Vs.

I stripped one of holes for the exhaust manifold. So I need to drill, tap and slide in a helicoil. Someone care to walk me through this? Maybe tricks or problems you ran into.

Also,

Can I take the car to the track with a missing manifold stud? I have 5/6 with the stripped one on the far side of the manifold.

In my efforts to get back in shape (well a shape other than round) I've dusted off the bicycles, andrew gave me a hand to get them in working order (mad prawpz) and off I go. Most of my time is spent on the w&od trail ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://wodfriends.org/">http://wodfriends.org/</a><!-- m --> - for the non-nova people... 45 mile paved trail from arlington to purcellville) but there are several other trails around arlington as well.

At any rate... I had decided that riding on the paved trails rather than the dirt or the street would be less hazardous to my health. My logic was infallible.... right? After 600+ miles on the road bike in the past 2 months I'm questioning that logic, and my sanity.

Today was a pretty typical ride - drive to a park on the trail, head towards arlington, break off on a trail that heads along 66 and down to the potomac, down another trail that goes along the river, cross the bridge into DC, stop and laugh at all the jackasses sitting in a parking lot, turn around and head back. Total distance, 22 miles. Seems like a nice way to spend the afternoon... except for...

• *The group of girls running along the trail 4 wide, that dont move until I shout at them to get the F@#%!@ out of the way (hint: these trails are 2 people/bicycles wide in each direction)

• *The little kid pedaling down the trail on his trike, who decides it would be a good idea to make a u-turn right in front of me. I go off in the dirt, keep the bike up and move on... no sense yelling because his parents were nowhere in sight

• *Some guy mosey-ing down the trail with his little kid, down the middle of the damn trail. I yell "passing, left" and the guy moves to the left, and i go off in the dirt and I came real close to spitting myself off the bike. I yelled back "watch the f@%T! out". Probably undeserved for him, but I was fed up

• *The trail is for people moving in both directions. Dont park your fat ass in the left side of the trail while talking on your cell phone

• *In America, we drive/walk/bicycle on the right side of the road. Foreigners are the biggest offender here

• *The trail is for pedestrian traffic. Its not a place to stop in the middle of the trail and chat, congregate, or stop in the middle of a bridge and talk

• *The trail is not a playground for your children. There are plenty of playgrounds along the trail for your kids to wander around in

• *When you are in a group of cyclists passing joggers/walkers/other cyclists, do it single file, instead of forcing people going the other direction off the trail

• *When some guy yells "passing, left" really loudly, he's probably coming at you at 20... sometimes 25 or 30 mph... get out of the way!

My cousin is selling his project NX2000 - he worked for a body shop for 2 years and the rust repairs were done well. His ad is below, car is located near Baltimore MD:

1991 NX2000
95,000 Original Miles
The car was intended as a project car which is about 80 percent completed.
I purchased this car for 1200 dollars with rust damage, a broken window and basic cosmetic blemishes.
Everythign has been reparied with the exception of these things:
The paint work must be finished, all cut ins and jams have been painted 350z Burnt Orange (Lemans Sunset Pearl) the main panels and bumpers remain primered
The rear exhaust section must be replaced
She could use a battery

Other than this the car runs and appears exellent for its age, the interior is spotless and all rust damage is gone

I put about 800 into the car supplies and parts wise bringing my investment to 2000$

My parents are threatening to tow the car away which would be a huge loss for me, Im still WILLING TO TAKE A LOSS... just not a full one, anyone with ANY offers please call 4438641516 ASAP pictures can be produced!
