I'd like to get $300 for the diff
and the Borbets do come with Hoosier slicks - they are showing some cord though
so $300 for the set of wheels as well - the only wear they've seen is at 3 seasons of autocrosses and 3 Time Trial events on the Patriot Course
I believe they're also discontinued in FC fitment sizes as Tirerack doesn't list the Type S anymore
at least for FC's
Lastly they are 15" wheels, some of you may know why I might have chosen a small wheel with fairly low profile tire for autoX

I'll ask my faja if he wants a little more low end with that diff.
Alright, so my friend and I are driving around the short pump area, and we decide to go a bit further into the county of Goochland. So we are driving around when someone in a vehicle kind of comes into our lane. Well my friend attempts to dodge the car, and the front wheels dip into the side of the road where there's a lot of dirt. My friend loses traction and control and we spin out.
Well, as most of you know the roads are really small and there isn't much space. Well we spin out and we knock out 7 trees. That's about where I just forget everything, however, when I'm completely conscientious of my surroundings, I kept thinking to myself that this was a dream. My friend also responds, "this better dam well be a dream or else my mom's going to kill me." So moments later we notice a policeman and a fire truck have arrived. My friend and I are just holding each other because it's crazy what just happened to us. I look back at the car and notice that it's on it's side and the rear bumper is on the other side of the road.
The cop notices that my friend's hand is really bloody. He asks if anything was wrong and my friend says he can't move his wrist. Moments later an ambulance truck arrives and takes us to MCV hospital. They made me drink some sort of weird crap that was supposed to taste like vanilla, but it made me really wanna **** bad. Well the seat belt had hurt me right around the kidneys to the point where if I tried to apply pressure it hurts. So they said they were going to stick a tube down my *****, but thankfully that never happened.
So I get a CAT scan to check if everything's alright and they send me to a room and make me spend the night. I wake up and a cute nurse has brought me breakfast
It tasted terrible. Then lunch time comes around and they just tell me I have a pineal cyst. Unless it gives me symptoms it will be benign. They bring me lunch which is some broiled chicken, green peas, and RICE!!!
Pure heaven. Then they give me my discharge. So when I get home I take a shower and I realize that I've got a lot of crap in my hair and I assess the damage. Not too bad, I still think I can get the ladies.
This has been a very crazy life changing experience. I'm just glad that my friend and I got out alive. This has just been 1 crazy *** ride. I just wish everything was a dream, however, it's not so I guess I have to live with it. I just hope my friend and I heal soon.
Thanks for listening!!!! Be careful everyone. It's not us we should worry about, it's the other people. No matter how good of a driver we are, sometimes a bad driver can still cause us to lose control. Stay safe and don't drink and drive.
oh, and sorry. Some of the grammar might be incorrect, because I'm still a little woozy from the hospital.

glad to hear you're alright man
I flipped a car once falling asleep at the wheel.
I was fortunate;
a) that some nice tree caught the car mid air and dropped me on the ground wheels down
b) there was no passenger, as that side of the car was completely crushed
c) it was only a Ford EXP
d) that I was asleep for most of and receive some minor cuts on my knuckles where the windsheild was resting on it
The lesson:
On cold summer night after working a doubleshift never turn the heat on in your car.
Stay frosty people and always watchout fer the other guy coming at you.

Wait... Still?? 
Glad to hear you're ok though man, accidents are no fun. You're gonna be sore for the next couple of days, but seeing as they discharged you after less than a day, looks like we get the blessing of keeping you around for a bit longer! Super glad to hear neither of you were severely hurt...
P.S. I almost chucked a lung when they tried to get me to drink that cat-scan stuff after they mixed it with "Strawberry" flavoring. I was like, dude, just give it to me straight and I'll just chug it. That stuff is horrid...
VERY random... Lol... I think I might have what you're looking for, let me check tomorrow and get back to you.

Pictures of the accident. Holy ****, I can't believe I survived.
I'm glad I was born asian. If I was born any taller, I seriously would have had brain problems. The roof was actually touching the seat.

Holy freaking hell dude. That is ridiculous... I'm shocked, not only that you survived, but that you also sustained almost no injuries! "Jesus must LOOOVE you!"
Hey Saavedro what did I give you?
I can't remember if I gave him the stock stuff or not with the car.
Hey, Just moved to Richmond, I own an 88 tII with a few mods. So how is the turn out on Friday's for you all usually , I keep telling my self I'm gonna go and never bring my self to it
the warmer and the nicer the more people show up
but there is a core group of people that show up every Friday practically - about a dozen cars
hell I've seen the lot filled on a few snowy winter nights and dead empty some gorgeous summer nights, so you never really know for sure
nice mix of cars currently with every make you can think of will randomly show up
plus some occasional real old school cars, exotics, etc...
you should go this Friday since I'll be there, I have at least one CD left with all the FSM's on it for all years 86 to 95
