Right now I'm working on having my dealership just swap wheels with me so I can have the stock ones for my car. Worse comes to worse, yes, I'll just buy a cheap set of wheels so I can have something immediately, but it's really not something to be concerned about. That's the honest answer.
Well, I FINALLY got me a car. It was $900.00 and in decent shape. It is a 1987 Chevy Cavalier z24. I LOVE the looks of it and the challenge of restoring it/modding it. It has a 2.8 liter V6, 5 speed manual and a factory fiberglass cowl induction hood. May not be what a lot of you would drive but its all good. Here are some pics.
Now, I've already started tearing out some of the interior so you'll have to excuse the center console being gone.

Not to start anything but are you saying that the wheels you currently own will go on another vehicle that is currently on the lot to be sold to someone? Personally, I wouldn't put that cracked wheel on ANY car I would be selling. That's a huge safety issue and to sell the car knowing it has a defective wheel without mentioning it to the interested party is wrong, IMO. I hope you prove me wrong.Quote:

The crack really isn't all that bad either, to be honest. I don't know if I over exaggerated it when I first mentioned or something, but it's nothing to really worry about.
But to answer your question, no...we wouldn't sell a car with a cracked wheel to a customer. We'd replace it before it went back out on the lot.
And they basically have the same car that I have on the lot except it's black instead of grey. So, I'd just be getting the stock Detroits off the car.
Neat gauge configuration and quarter windows on the Z24 :goodjob:
Gonna try to make it out again tonight, that is if the Shitbox will cooperate. Def needs a tune something fierce. Hell it runs better with the MAF disconnected than it does with it connected!!!
okay well a few of us from columbus will be making our way to this here meet to see what the car scene is like out of columbus hopefully its a lot better than what we are used to
Doubtful. Its hit and miss here in Newnan. Some nights there's a decent turnout, others not so much. This will be the first time out for me since last July when the Shitbox broke.Quote:

so i will be trying out a new turbo kit from treadstone performance with a gtx3076. this will be a fun summer:)
Have you ordered the kit yet? If not, pm me first because I have an account with them through work.
So I decided to keep the S4...and keep it "stock" looking :ninja:
Stock wheels, tail lights are coming in late this week/early next week, a several key parts from a select few companies as well. VERY excited!
Steve, this is probably a stupid question but do you have an account with AWE-Tuning? If so I'll start going through you instead of them directly.Quote:

Anyone who communicates with me via text, I just had my phone replaced and don't have any iCloud backups, therefore I don't have any contacts or anything until I get home later tonight.
