BE CAREFUL AT THE VARSITY!!!!
it's April Fools...........lol
Good to hear you got new wheels Chad!
And Marcos, we def. need to set something up sometime: for the KSU/SPSU meets. Just been busy!
Last time I had wheels that everyone had. This time around I wanted wheels that no one would have.
I know a lot of people will think they are ugly, but I love them!
Im not sure if Ill have them on by the meet. I was planning on polishing them out to a mirror finish, but they are in so good of shape (especially for a 26 year old set of wheels) that I'm not sure I want to mess with them. Im hoping to slam the teg soon. I just need to sell one of my bicycles and my old H&R's
^^^this
^
And I think I will! This is what happened:
A good portion of the kids act stupid in the parking deck meets, so I don't do those anymore...Weston does. And I don't go. lol. The police are there everytime because someone does something. I was thinking about having the meets off campus somewhere, but I'm just gonna come to an SPSU meet sometimes. lol. I have been real busy lately.
BTW, I am not ordering from Prostreet again. Took them over a month for them to tell me that they still did not have a certain item, and I finally supposedly recieved a credit. They listen well, but seemed pissed at me over the chat function. When I told them to have a good day, they immediatley signed off. I'm sorry prostreet, but if you can't get you stuff together, don't take it out on the customers. I told them to confirm that they had the right card on my profile, because the last Rep. got it wrong, and apologized. This person was like "Sir, we can not credit your order on a different card. Only the card you used for the order"...me, i know that. I am not stupid. But you guys messed it up last time, so I have to ask. Tell me the last 4 digits already! haha
My review:
Website Layout= 9 out of 10
Parts to choose from= 10 out of 10
Customer Service = 5 out of 10
Correct Inventory = unlikely
Likelyhood that they will screw up your order = very likelyoh, and very very slow shipping
^^lol damn
anyone else getting awesome gas mileage with this warm weather?
38.5mpg on my last tank!![]()
lol, sorry for the rant
I is calm know, haha
In relation to the gas mileage, I will have to check next time I fill her up. hmmm. Marcos, a 3in exhaust has very little back pressure. You would think it would help gas mileage haha. Why not go 2.5in? Get a good balance of flow and back pressure.......unless your doing some sort of engine build, COUGH COUGH that we don't know about![]()
true lol.
I drive the piss out of mine so I fill up at least once a week.
about ~500 miles a week on average
this week will be around 770 miles
word on the street is...
http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...h..&highlight=
marcos already told us he is waiting on some special parts. he is building, i dont know if he will boost, im going to boost mines tho.
also i drive about 700~1000 miles a week. i get my oil changed twice a month, and i can put id say about $15 in premiume gas drive all the way to hwy 16 in griffin ga pass summit racing and back. my gas light wont even be on when i get back home. at most thats about 120 miles to and from work mon thru friday. if you include the weekends, its around 1k ah week. i would say i get pretty good gas mileage in my car or else i would have been quite and found ah job closer to home.
i got the 3in b/c i just wanted to be louder, no special reason
.........i posted that up for my friend
special parts? i just ordered some simple bearing and an oil pump...nothing really special about those
n im just a poor full time college student working part time at QT...i dont think thats enough money to go boost![]()

Man, today is such a nice day!
Import Alliance is 6 days away![]()
so the rollout from the big chicken to the rollout from the v to import alliance is still on right?
Oh dang, I forgot about the Big Chicken part of the meet. Re-send me the info and I'll post it up on front page, and maybe events section.
^^i think it was something like :
Meet at the big chicken at 7:15ish, roll out to the V by like 7:40ish to meet up with the rest and then roll out to IA at like 8:15ish.. Sound right?

whats wrong with it?
pretty much so
maybe leave kfc a little earlier
x2 I don't even want to wash my car because 30 minutes later it will be yellow
yeah, but by meeting early we won't have to worry about traffic being an issue. better safe than sorry![]()

Well? The only BAD thing I can think of is everyone who has high school kids ect, they will be getting back from their vacations on Sunday. I think no matter what time we leave, there is always going to be traffic...it's Atlanta. Lmao. But anyway
I'll try to make it to the big chicken part of the meet. Anyone know the exact address?
^
Thanks chad!
BTW, lets search the amazing internet for an anit pollen/anti dust wax! it WOULD be nice
oh, and for those of you worried about the pollen on your Teg (or other car, ha) keep in mind that it is 1. abrasive 2. acidic and 3. needs to be removed "properly"
Lets say you wash your car Sunday or Saturday night. Get to the parking deck, and decide to dry wipe the car from any pollen that sticks to it on Sunday mornign. BAD IDEA. Pollen is abrasive, and can easily cause swirl marks, believe it or not. After continued exposure ofcourse. The best way is to just wash it as much as possible. Even with the season, it is still good to wash the car once every 1 or 2 weeks, because pollen is slightly acidic. I totally just read something about pollen and copied it here from memory. haha. I didn't know this 10 minutes ago. just my 2 cents
K, so I updated the first page. If anyone looks at it anymore, lol. Hopefully that clears it up, and hopefully it is right.
lol dont be lazy! o btw , i went to andrettis monday night but i aint see youi came in 1st and 3rd
just saying lol
on my way to barret on friday somehow 2 my wheel studs broke off on the highway leaving me stranded on 1 stud...i had to get my car towed home. and the only way to replce studs on an integra is by pulling the hub so i went ahead and bought a new bearing and i found a place that does the job for stupid cheap compared to everywhere else. well i replaced 1 side and as i was checking the other side i noticed 1 was loose so i went to tighten it and SNAP goes that 1so i had to get that side replaced to... FML..spent like 150 in 2 days...
bout the traffic, i dont remember there being any traffic last year. the highway was clear as can be..
hmm interesting...i knew about it causing swirl marks but not that it was acidic..
pic of how my car is at the moment![]()
