SFV/818 roll call & chat thread...

rex:
wtf...

how does a dog do that..?


For the V1:
Yeah from the looks of it you have everything you need.

Except the connecting table (the black curvy thing with the telephone type connectors) is not the best to be used for hardwiring

You should go to Fry's and get a thin, 8in or so one instead. otherwise you'll have a lot of extra cable to stuff up in the head unit

by any chance anybody know where I can get rims refinished?

Alright will go pick up an 8" telephone wire at fry's. Will any telephone wire work and be enough to carry the power and etc?

They're pretty much all created equal

Mind picking one up for me too please?

When I did my hardwire, I forgot and the cable i have is too long and a pain. been meaning to do it but i've been lazy as hell

The cable should only be a $1 or 2, real cheap

It's only pics of my car cause they're pretty strict on 1 driver per paid ($65!) CD. Too bad Hannah wasn't there to take more shots of other cars :/

Ya I can grab one for you np.

I ended up being able to do the grills myself, I returned the shorter hook tool back to Sears and picked up a longer one and it worked out. Kinda need a Carbon front lip now to match the carbon grills lol.

Yeah was a pain, especially doing it in a community garage that has like 1 light for every 15feet and the weird rubber grip on the hook tool that would just spin itself if you put to much pressure on it.


Then had about 2 people come up to me asking if my new car broke down because the hood was open....

^damn i should have checked the forum last night

i was hungry haha

[persian54]

what do you guys think of these rims?

he wants $2600 for them with tires

I'm not a huge fan of 20in cause of the ride quality, and I wouldn't install them until Aug or later (after summer track is over)

Debating...

[geneatals]

^I likey, but like you said, 20" wheels and ride quality aren't the greatest. But if you are going to get a deep dish wheel, you gotta do 20" IMO...

2600 isn't bad for 360's...they're wheel quality is good, just all the drama back when Jordan used to run it makes me think twice about 360's, even with the new ownership...

I don't have an M3 but I am not really feeling that design / finish / they look a bit to big lol.






Also btw, does anyone know a good quality/decently priced Handyman/ Plumber here in the Valley? Grandparents need to do some work at their place and I got put in charge of finding a handyman for them.

The rims were more of a spur of the moment thing cause it was rather cheap.
3 Piece 360 Forged 20in wheels with tires for $2600ish.

But I need to save my money... 5 track days planned for July. It'll cost me a lot of $$

I'll need new tires afterwards for sure. oil change. gas to get there, gas to drive there, gas to get back. it'll be like 1000 miles of driving...excluding my day to day stuff.. there go my lease miles! lol

We have a handyman but he doesn't really speak much English lol
