if i get my wheels im down!!!!

 

Pfft, air in tires is overrated. You got an air pump in the back, use it!

Think of it as a variable air pressure adjusting wheel!

Edit:

Oh yeah, I'm down for Saturday, today was busy as hell at work so no time for texting.

 

i bought some wheels from Gilbert, and hes shipping them out tomorrow, the crack is just to big for comfort, so hopefully i see them here this week

:D

 

I'm already eating up the wear indicators of the tires on my car. At least they are wearing evenly.

I have to buy tires soon, hopefully before October.


In other news, Sunday there is only a 30% chance of rain right now.

 

lolz, Ike is gonna rick roll us

 

I'm on All-Seasons, so I'm hoping for rain

 

There is a 50% chance my brother is coming, if he doesn't I might be begging to be your codriver!

I took a good long look today and my tires are getting low. If it rains this week I'll be one of those A-holes sitting on the shoulder with my emergency lights on.

 

just signed up! shouldnt be too bad. If its wet, a wet day would be a good behind the wheel experience anyway!!

 

the rims are either gonna be here on sat or monday... i dont wanna sit this one out :[ but i might stop by to check it out

 

Dear Chad Henderson,

Houston Chapter BMW CCA (panama@wt.net) has issued you a full or partial refund for your payment.

Temporary Hold Information: A temporary hold has been placed on funds that were returned to your account because you used Instant Transfer to fund the original payment. The funds from this payment cannot be released until they have arrived from your bank account, which usually takes 3-4 business days.


Message from merchant: This event has been canceled due to hurricane Ike.
Registration for the October 19 AX is now open.

SHITING DICK NIPPLES.


Guess this was a blessing in disguise, because my car has randomly decided to sound like a 1950's V8 motor, and produce no more than 30hp or 17.44ft-lb torque until 6000 RPMs, at which point about 3000 horses erupt out from the motor and a Formula 1 sounding howl evelops the eardrums of every human in a 30-mile radius...

...like any good rotary engine, it would wait a full week after the warranty expired to have any serious problems...

 

Time for a loan from the bank and a full built race engine with ceramic seals!

 

Well, I get tomorrow off.


Steal Troy's motor and stick it in the RX-8!

 

^^ you can spend the day fitting you Koni yellows then

Oh - do you guys have an recommendation for a good alignment place (not SW tire though)??

 

The guy that owns the monster RX-7 that races just opened his own shop. He does alignments. He will end up doing mine as well. Price is a little high but theres going to be some testing driving in between to make sure the alignment is right.

 

cool, thanks Chad, do you have his number?
