what ever you do, dont go to tires plus for an alignment. I went there andmy tires wore so unevenly that my fronts wore down in 22k miles on easy driving.

Edit: thats how long the tires lasted altogether, before and after alignment. The wear was terrible after the alignment, in 7k miles, i was down to cords on the inside.

I PM's them asking for an update. I mean, the last time I talked to them, they "recieved" the container and will be doing a "inventory" on it. That was last Wednesday. I called them Friday and they said they're still going through it. Its getting gay, man. I want a J's exhaust, so I don't know what to do. Its the only exhaust I'll be happy with. I want a loud, light, with a dolphin tip exhaust. And, J's has it all...

All in all, I want a dolphin tip (tip that points downward)

They pissed me off last time I went there. I normally buy all of my tires from Sharpsburg Tire. It's a ma and pa store and their prices are usually within $10 of the big chain style stores. I had just bought a set of tires for my Wifes car a month earlier and I needed two loose tires mounted and balanced on a set of loose rims that I had for the Mustang. They charged me $35 just to mount and balance the damn things. So needless to say I will never buy another set of tires from them again. But they do have the cheapest alignments around.

Um, excuse sir, but thats pretty cheap!

Here at Discount Tire, its a buck for every inch of rim size to mount a tire, plus an addition 15 bucks per wheel for a balance!

4 tires mounted and balance on a 16 inch wheel will cost you $125ish, and thats excluding valve stems, tires, and "tire waste"

awesome price. i went to discount to see david and got two tires mounted and balanced. Total came out to be $79.00. But, i know my car will be taking very good care off since david is working on it. He basically gave it a wash too.

Wow, guess I'm used to getting it done alot cheaper. Usually $20 for both. The $35 was strickly to mount and balance. I already put new stems and didn't have any old tires to throw away.

It's been years since I've had to have loose tires mounted. I believe last time was when i was in the Military and had to change over from snow tires to my street tires. I could swear i only paid $25 or so bucks for everything then. Of course it was at Elmendorf AFB Service station so that might have had something to do with it.

I ended up joining the car club here at work due to it. We have our own mounting and balancing machine so I no longer need to deal with outside sources.

Yup, awesome car. Heard some awesome stories about that car, some that would make your jaw drop.

But awesome car to work on. Clear coat on it was hard as hell so not all defects came out :(

I thought my legend drove nice, boy was I wrong, that NSX was smooth and "perfect".

I've driven a couple and fell in love with it as soon as I planted my butt in the driver's seat. One day I will have one sitting next to an exige in my garage, just need to get a house first.

Good stuff, Joe! Who's all coming out Friday? Still wanna sit in your new Bride seat, Steve!

Update on exhaust:

I guess one of the reasons why we have much faster lead times than other companies is because we actually run our own shipping company and send containers back from Japan every 2-3 weeks regardless if it's full or not. Other companies have to wait for their containers to fill up before they will send it back. We have a lot of people relying on our consistent container shipments, so we ship back on a pretty strict time table.

I really don't know what to say, and I hope that you get your exhaust soon. At least once you get it, you'll be absolutely elated!

Apparently, it shouldn't take this long to get something from Japan. More info here if you're bored and wanna read:

This is the only picture I have on my computer right now but it's cracked the paint on the whole right side of the bumper and demounted my grille. I've already talked to the body shop, I just have to drop it off to get it resprayed.

Nailed the cat doing ~60 or so. :D
