Socal Whats new with your RIDE?

Is that a crack on your wheel in your sig pic?

It actually looks like two..same place on the other spoke.

[ikayto]

aha yea it looks that way but before the meet I sprayed my wheels with quick detailer and put wax on them. The "cracks" are just some of the wet dirt behind the spokes running down the spoke from driving.

Leave it white Wilson. That shit looks good white. And take it to a wheel shop and see if it's possible to fix. Won't b cheap.

I'm already planning to take it to the wheel specialists in santa ana, some guy got his wheels powdercoated and true again for $120/wheel. I figure $50-60 a wheel just to repair. I just dont want my lug nuts coming loose again : My studs are a little jacked up now because of that.

deformed bent wheels

Tire shop diagnosed my front wheel vibration to my wheel being deformed some way. It' s subtle deformation but its enough to vibrate moderately at 60mph, that was it. Sucks because I possibly wont be able to get them true again without ruining the fresh powdercoat...Currently rocking the warped wheels in the rear because with the 16x8s in front it doesnt vibrate at all.

Unsure what to do...probably take Long's advice and have a wheel shop see if they can fix it without marring the finish. If not, I'll wait till the tires are dead and get them all powdercoated mag blue. :]

I already put hubcentric rings on and the car had no issue with vibration prior to the SSR.

when you passed me as we were driving to neptunes your front wheel looked HELLA bent.. I thought that was the problem since you posted your issues with the hubcentric ring and lug nuts, guess not Maybe hit up stickydiljoe's friend Heymikey, i think he does wheel repairs..

[ikayto]

yea i'm surprised they're even holding air.

pretty funny, all the wheels i've bought they were never bent but were all cast. I buy a semi-forge set and boom, bend city ahha. I know it's just bad luck, but still comedy. I'm not too shocked because I see a few ppl saying ssr type-c are easy to bend.

I'll vouch for wheel repair specialist. They trued my rims and touched them up.

But yeah if you want to help other cats that are in the game hit up HeyMikeyyyy like Craig said.

Finally (hopefully) fixed my exhaust leak near the header and downpipe connection, new prelude o2 sensor, oil change, and alignment.

found a free blue 90-93 accord dashboard cover on craigslist. FREE and it's practically new.

Now all I need is a box of tissues in the back of rear speaker deck to complete that grandma look.

went to the bisimoto yesterday and picked up a intake mani heat shield gasket and bisi was there cause the girl at the front asked if she had got the right one for me. also saw all the bisi headers in one of the rooms as you walk in, I took a pic of all of them. they look bitchin I wish I had one. Also going to get some free 17in rims with new tires, white 5spoke from my brother inlaw for free.


tear down for the new brakes will be on Friday since I have to take my little girl to get her picture taken today.

I'm open to buying them, but I'm so broke right now I'm pilfering toilet paper from my college's professor lounges...
How bad is the ride quality with them?

honestly not bad at all i just wanted to go lower. the ride feels smooth no bounce and not cut. if you see on my mt the drop is level and it gives the car a rake look but not bad pm me and well set something up,,,,

Took all the new parts off my SC. It was a fun and expensive week, but its time to move on. Anyone want to buy a SC300? You can choose between a white one with tan interior or a black one with oem 2 tone interior.

^din't you just got an exhaust for the SC?

I just bought a lot of things for my SC. There is actually a waiting list for that exhaust of mine. Everyone that knew what I've been doing has been calling trying to call dibs. I wonder if anyone would actually pay what the exhaust is worth since there is only 1 USA vendor that can get it. http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2831
