1) Trans Brace: I believe I do have on somewhere. Probably be this weekend before I can dig it out.

2) What do your current wheels look like? I have a set of Fittipaldi by Oz rims that need the paint to finish being removed on them and either polished or repainted. They are 15' and look very similar to the vert BBS rims.

1) That'd be fine.
2) LTFOL. THOSE are the wheels I HAVE! Love the car, hate Hate HATE the vert, BBS wheels. (pics in my profile - click sig)

Grrrrr *shakesfist*

Found a bad-*** set of wheels @ Rollins, today, while getting my turbo lines, fittings and stuff... $100/ pr; Wheels and tires 16x6, DOT tracks. Unfortunately, not only do they look very similar to the ones I have now, but they're Chevy 5-lug, not ford 5x4.25.

Crap.

Oop. Sorry/ Forgot to mention the update on my vert > The other thread.

Oh, addendum:

Got to thinking, while outside - freezing my NADS off (it's something like 37deg, here), in shorts, smoking a cigarette, that I've heard a TON about how inaccurate the OEM oil pressure gauge is (NTM that mine's fuct and pegged at WOT, even without a battery...

Anyone got an aftermarket one they'd be interested in trading for a water temp one?

Pic of mine:


Basically, I'll have my Boost, AFR and Oil Press... instead of the first two and water temp.

As well: anyone got a spare battery, lyin' around? The first thing I had to do was replace the alternator, since it went and took the battery with it... Kinda need one and picking one up isn't in the fiscal cards, about now. Not to mention trying to track down an el-cheapo shift ****.

Anyone? Anyone?

Surprised you can't find someone to take the vert wheels. Most people want them. I love them...have a set as well.

Yeah, me too. I tried a few times - even recently 'bumped' my post about wanting to trade them off... No such luck.

Almost.... There... so close; SO CLOSE!

From what I can post public-ally, the paper is a lie(theres no video because nothing happened). The charges are false. This is the first time they actually weren't doing anything and got cited for something.

Sav knows better. Regardless of if it was a 'THIS time' kind of thing, he knows that his *** will go to jailif the local even SUSPECT that something's going on.

Besides, I'd chock it up to someone's mouth and/ or attitude, with ASO./

'Course, we've gotten into some pretty sticky, 'can't-really-talk-about-it-because-it-didn't-go-down-like-that' kinda messes.

The article in the paper mentioned the police officers reviewing the tape, which showed the illegal activities. If there is no video, what did they review? Are you saying that the officers made that part up?

Cops don't lie? Whats even funnier is how the 'reporter' could make the whole article without a police report.

They couldn't find any Mexicans to profile and just figured, "Aw hell, he's brown too!"

I'm sure ASO didn't need much of a reason to pick the guys up.

Well, this IS ASO we're talking about... Aaaaand Sav we're talking about, too, so no... Probably not too much of a reason.

@gringo: No big deal on that brace. I'll grab up the one I was talking about, from that other guy. Ended up picking up an Interstate Battery, so I'm good, there. You got pics of those OZ wheels? Trying to debate on the whole tires thing, too. I've got a guy that wants to trade for a set of S4 Tii rims and tires... I've got 80% on my tires, and according to him, he's got 40, so, *shrug*

WOO-HOO! Update pics!

Check 'em out, here!

These were taken around 1600, today, so they're as recent, as it gets.

One question, about re-wiring my E-Fan,l though: Can't I run my lead (to the solenoid) from the signal line, on the water pump thermo-sensor? The one that was IN the car went poop, so I figured I'd wire it to the car's own temp.

Any input?

(Kev: Give me a call at that # in your PM, and we'll try to meet up, this afternoon/ eve)

Sooo.... My birthday (today) is being spent downtown, at the Pub (Brophy's, across the corner from 'Market Street').

Shittily enough, I'm NOT tossed, but quasi-working, doing some coding in the dreaded FBML.

Whee.

Thanks, Eddie.

I spent it at a pub, but ended up nowhere NEAR the level of intoxicated that I should've been. Ah well..

Mark - Are you going to DGRR with us? Also do you want a set of Sake Bomb Brake Lines? I'm getting a small discount on them because they are shipping with some other items I bought. Eddy and I are both getting a set.$105.
