Jay, are you going?

IMWEZL 01-31-2013 05:01 PM

I have my daughter this weekend. I might go. I told her to think of something to do or else I was going to pick an activity. I guess car meets qualify as an activity as long as she has my iPad to keep her busy. lol

I'm not sure though.

ClemsonWill 02-01-2013 08:55 AM

Yeah, i thought my Dad was going to take my son on Saturday but he's not. So I don't know if I will make it or not. See what happens.

Got my handles painted the other day.
Too much sunlight in the pic but its the best I could do today

IMWEZL 02-01-2013 09:51 PM

I probably won't make it. My tires haven't come in yet and I doubt they will come in on a Saturday.

For sure! My son which is seven got an Ipod from his mom for Christmas and now all the cool stuff has gone to $hit. Im about to bash it with my 8lb sledge hammer. What ever happen to army men and the real cool stuff? Im NOT gonna have that kinda crap in my house!

IMWEZL 02-03-2013 10:23 PM

Anyone interested in two stock front sport tires? I think they are 245/35/19 with 60-75% tread left. I'll sell for $100.

I'm trying to clean out the garage before I move in a few months.

I agree. It's out of control. My son just turned 2 and he already knows how to turn on, open, and play games on the Ipad. My wife and I have already decided he's going to be limited.

Wait will i thought you had Volk TE37s? Lets do a trade then if so!! :)

I got them painted at a local place here called John Harris Auto body they use Spies Hecker paint which is the best and the painter is awesome!

If anyone around here wants them done call Brian at 803-799-0273 and tell him Chad Mack sent you with the bLack Nismo :)

I am not usually EVER overly impressed and in this case i was... Very happy with the results

Awesome car ! I have a black 13 nismo too! I really like the idea of painting handles but am worrying about the fading/durability of it. How do you like them?

Call up John Harris auto body, if you need help uninstalling them and re-installing I'm more then happy to lend a hand.

As for the fading durability. They use the best paint out there (spies hecker, a german paint) and I had my 350z door handles painted for 7 years and no fading, scratches, chipping etc....

Trust me its worth it! I personally think it made the car look 100 times better... They charged me 100 bucks to do both... Its a steal to me

I'm not ready to give up the TEs just yet. Matte is really hard to clean so I don't have them on the car but maybe 30% of the time. I want something that's more daily driver friendly to replace my stock rays.

Are you rocking 9.5+12 in the front or +22? and i assume 10.5+12 in the rear?

I would love to see the matte black TEs in person.. I had Gloss black TE's and am leaning towards either Hyper blue TE's or Matte black and doing a red pin stripe (Time attack style)...

IMWEZL 02-05-2013 04:18 PM

Just the front tires needed replacing. The rears are fine. I forgot how much of a PITA it is to find someone who is capable of installing 275/30/19. The low profile combined with the stiff sidewall requires both skill and equipment.

COSTCO is my first choice but I didn't want to renew my membership.
Walmart & Geralds = No
Showzone was too far out the way so I went with a local rim shop (PM Tires). They specialize in 22's and higher so I figured ehh I'll give them a try. 30 minutes later he finally got the tire seated.

I'm a +22 in the front with 265 tires. You are more than welcome to come check them out. I would love to have a set of Hyper Blue as well.

Lol.... My buddy used to be the tire shop manager at Cosco. After mounting my TEs he told me, "Don't think about bringing those back to be unmounted! The were a b*tch." lol

Volk Z 02-07-2013 03:14 PM

Anyone want a brand new set of EVO-r carbon B pillars brand new for 40 bucks?
Reason I will sell for cheap is the gel coat on one has a slight wave when you look at the reflection at an angle.... They cost 150ish new,


I wanted to offer to SC guys first

We both want hyper blue! Ravspec will do it if we get 5 guys!
I found 2 others on the wheel thread that wanted hyper blue too :)

Did you get a price from him? If I remember right, the last group buy he did for customer color SLs, the price was pretty high. I might just wait until my tires are worn out then get them powder coated hyper blue. I actually prefer the regular TE over the SL anyways.

3899 plus shipping... He get soooo many people asking about hyper blue and they do the group buy on matte black... There's another one out the for Takata green... HELLO let's either do hyper blue or red... Colors people want on their car!

ClemsonWill 02-07-2013 06:35 PM

Those new burning red TEs are sick. Wish they came in 19s.

I agree... I have no clue why Volk does that! They have the hyper blue 18s in stock everywhere... Having an Evo, STI, BRZ etc has got to be the life with choosing wheels!

Personally the Z with 18s for looks wise is not ideal since the wheel wells are huge... Also we need crazy wide crazy low offsets... Ugh this sucks

I really want to do 19x9.5+12 and 19x11+5 but no monoblock wheels come in that low of an offset in the rear....

ClemsonWill 02-08-2013 01:06 PM

Yeah, that's pretty aggresive for the rear.

I think I will just get a 19x9.5+12 for the front and a 19x10.5+12 for the rear and run a 10 or 15mm spacer in the rear.

Ravspec said 4300 for hyper blue TEs includes limited edition black center caps and rays lug nuts (450 value) so not too bad at all.

$4300 is for regular TEs as the SLs don't have center caps. I can't remember how much I paid for my TEs. I thought it was $3500 but the more I think about it, I may have paid more. So $4300 for a custom color seems pretty good.

You are going to have to swap me calipers once you get them. Hyper blue with the red :shakes head: (superman style) ...............Gray would loook much better.:bowrofl: :stirthepot:

I used to think red and blue was not good but I like it...

My first set of Volks in 2004 were like 2300 for a set of TE37s, my 2nd set of LE37s were 2500 in 2006 and my last set I got in 2008 Gloss black TE37 was 3100... The go up every year ugh

IMWEZL 02-11-2013 08:49 PM

Damn a fresh set of RE11s in the front and the front Sway Bar on the tightest setting gave the front end Kung-Fu grip!

The official results aren't in yet but damn I was fast. I must have corded the old set a while back and not have noticed. The nearest competitor in my class was more than 1.2X seconds from my fastest run. That's lightyears in autocross. Each lap I kept on picking up 1/2 a second.

Autocross season is here. This weekend I'm thinking about making the trip to ZMAX for Charlotte's opener. ZMAX is huge with runs in 60+ second range while topping out at 2nd.

If you guys are interested google SCCA CCR (Charlotte Region) or SCR (Columbia Region) to find their home pages and registration links.
