Have a set of Prodrive Springs NIB for 2004-2005 WRX...

First $250.00 takes 'em... they are about 280.00 new from when I last checked.



If they don't sell locally I will be shipping them on NASIOC later. Figured somebody might want them...

hey guys, I split this from the other post so I could get quality answers fast. I've been sorta beating around the bush on the color so here it is -



This was what it was back in 03 on the (ugly) PT dream, now it is called "Go Mango" on the 05' Dodge Charger Daytona, and Ram Daytona. Same color, different name.


So that having been said, I need to decide something about painting the body of the car. In 1989 the car came as a 2-tone with the main color and an argent bodykit and wing. As shown here-



This was the way my car was colored. In 90 they did away with the 2-tone on the bodykit but left the wing, to define the wing barers as Shelbys.



Should I paint my car back like it was in the 89 style using a slightly darker then argent paint, or should I paint it like a 90 and use argent (or even something darker) on the wing-top?

Okay so I got a set of these from a friend free, How wide are they, I know they are 16inch and 7-spoke. Also how heavy are they. I heard somwewhere they are 8 inches wide which would be perfect for some autocross rims for me in which I could put 245s on correct?

i really like the new 3-series...a LOT

and i'm really liking this new M3

For some reason the car looks a lot smaller than the e46, which may not be true ( i have no idea on the specs ) but man i really like this car. The new 3-series in general = :thumbup:

engine specs:
400bhp

various sources say either a v-8 or a v-10 though

Also some sources say that there is an M2 on the way with a 300bhp I-6 hock:

Okay so ive had this electrical gremlin since I bought the car. The car would lose battery charge quickly and also during driving, if I have more than two accessories going (AKA windshield wipers one, headlights two, radio three) then the car would not have enough energy to keep the car going. At first I thought bad battery/alternator sicne thje battery was old and the alternator was also not showing much life at idle.

However, after I replaced these items with an optima red top and new alternator the problem continues. I dont feel bad cuz they needed to be replaced anyway, but it pissed me off that there was more of a problem. There is a draw somewhere in the system. I havent had much time nor experience enough in electronics to pinpoint it. So far I have elimnated a lot of things, the voltmeter would show healthy volts/amp without any accessories but owuld drop drastically as more accesories were put on. We ended up turning off the car and noticed the battery was losing charge FAST!!! We pulled fuses and put em back in trying to find the culprit, we found it, but not necessarily the easiest to fix, it turned out to be the ignition fuse of all things. Leading it to be almost ANYTHING.

For any of you that have managed to read all of this and know anything that could help fix this problem let me know. If any of you are experts and think you could fix it by taking a look at my car ill provide beer and pizza! Or if you would like 20 bucks or something. I hope someone will be able to help me, maybe make a friend and not charge my broke ass!

So, the other night after leaving BWF in Chantilly after a NASIOC meet, I stop at a stoplight on 50W. A brand new silver C6 (with T-tops?) and an older convertible Mustang GT pull up on either side of me.

We all kind of look at each other, nod, and the triple threat of our exhaust notes was probably keeping everybody awake behind us.

The traffic clears out of the intersection and I know our light is turning green soon. We give each other one more look, the light turns green, and BAM!....

















We all drive off normally. It actually really surprised me that all three cars showed total restraint. I think besides all three of us being mature adults, there was sort of a mutual respect of each others cars.

I can't say I've never messed around with another car on a highway, I'm sure most have at some time or another, but the reality of what the consequences can be of street racing (both in terms of potential physical damage as well as getting your car impounded / license lost) has just left me with really no desire to get involved with anything like that at all. Or maybe I'm just getting old

If that's the case, bring on the gray hairs! But damn, the :twisted: inside me really wants to know how I'd do against that Corvette 8)

like last year, i think i will be representing my work at this year's career fair on monday 26 september. anything going on sunday night or monday night that i should know about?

i was looking for a calendar this weekend because i need to get more organized, and i realized all the calendars i was looking at sucked. i know we have some great pictures MM events, vehicles, and moments and i think the cost to make a run of calendars wouldn't be too expensive. we could even hold an annual competition for the pictures that could go in it. would anyone be interested?

What morons. I can sort of understand how passionate they are about their riding but it seems that they do a very poor job of estimating and managing risk. Motorized jackassery has a way of catching up with you. The sad thing is that there are a lot of imitators who have, and will get hurt and killed on the street.

Not saying stunting isn't cool or anything, just that you have to do it right.

Its about damn time... That is all.
