What does your car weigh currently?

Never been on the scales bro.

Getting some work done on my street/track car while all the local tracks are closed. Added the wing, hood vents, and fender spats. Also midway through wrapping the car. Test fit the new track wheels as well (Apex EC7R 18x10.5 +22 square)

Looking good turbo!

Yeah they look amazing but having a hard time justifying the price. Hmmm, guess I'll have to think on this one for a bit!

Where you get those spats?

And are they held on by titanium bolts? If not it's cool I got a plug on Titanium bolts now

They are made by APR

They only come with 3M tape. I used rivnuts in the bumper with some M6 bolts to hold them on.

Hey turbo_joe,

Is that wrap an Avery Supreme or 3m product?

3M 2080 Satin Battleship Gray

bvrider1 · 04-12-2020, 08:12 AM

I wrapped w. 1080 and looking at redoing my front bumper again. Looks like 2080 is a nice step in an improved application.

Lost 2 lbs, 9.9 oz today with my quarantine mods. Rear seat releases are out, and the comm box bracket went on a diet.

SQ13 · 04-12-2020, 10:59 PM

COVID and the closure of tracks caused me to buy a bike. I had a bunch of clowns telling me not to buy a bike that requires assembly (even tho I said I can work on cars)...it was very easy and straightforward. It rides really well. Hopefully COTA will open back up soon, so I can ride the bike there.

Needs McLaren logos

The brake pads were cute lol

roastbeef · 04-12-2020, 11:13 PM

put a little brembo sticker on those calipers.

rhyary · 04-13-2020, 08:19 AM

What is this latch for?
I meant to ask so many times and I keep forgetting. I played with this many times trying to figure out but could not see what it does

It's to hold a grocery bag or some nonsense. It's a joke.

The lack of mechanical aptitude/adventurism/willingness to learn amongst cyclists, particularly road cyclists, is hilariously similar to the performance car world. Truing wheels, in particular, seems to hold the same reverence in people's minds as engine rebuilds. YOU MUST CONSULT A BIKE MECHANIC

Uh...it's like 40 bolts on the whole machine, 3 special tools, and GASP MY WHEEL IS OUT OF TRUE I AM FINISHED UNTIL I CAN CONSULT MY MECHANIC bruh you just spin the wheel and tweak spokes until it doesn't wobble anymore, if my cars were like that I'd be a much richer man lol

Haha. Where could I get one?

roastbeef · 04-13-2020, 08:35 PM

probably fleabay, but you could just probably fit the "b" lol.

roastbeef · 04-13-2020, 11:38 PM

Hey dudes. Anyone know what this is? It's mounted in the center of the trunk and wired to the comm box. a part number search says it's a ferrite antenna. I'm curious what it's for... I'm thinking tpms?
