Note to all:

½ = type 171 on the number pad while holding down 'ALT' key
² = type 253 on the number pad while holding down 'ALT' key

...or just refer to me as "Kinetic"




You may proceed to go about your business as usual ;)

HeavyMetal699 03-31-2008 09:56 PM

I should be able to make it out.

xsnipersgox 03-31-2008 10:09 PM

But i don't have a number pad !!

½mv² 04-01-2008 06:28 PM

Since I already agreed to go, I won't be a dick and pull out now, but I don't have my 8 anymore. It's getting the Transmission & clutch replaced at the dealer.

It'll make me easier to spot, though - I'll be the crazy sonuvabitch in the monster truck. No, seriously - I'm a yankee who has driven an RX since he was 16. I feel like the rental they gave me is designed for running over school buses for fun.

xsnipersgox 04-01-2008 09:18 PM

hey, if u need to u can come to my place or something and we can just ride down in my car, saves gas and all since we are both north houston and i am right by 45.

HERO 04-01-2008 09:53 PM

Celronx 04-01-2008 10:32 PM

I like this plan - PM me directions to your place.



My car pretty much initiated a self-destruct sequence, so it's going to be gone for quite a while.

My cat decided to light itself on fire so that needs to be replaced, along with everything connected and/or adjacent to it that was cooked in the blaze.
My transmission has gone from a 6MT to a 3MT due to the 2nd, 4th, and 5th gear syncros deciding to commit hari-kari.
My engine seals (not the apex seals) decided to spring a leak and spill oil onto everything but the ground.
My rear differential decided to upgrade itself from limited to UN-limited slip.
The clutch is 99.9% glaze.


Fortunately, this is all being covered under warranty, so the grand total for these weeks of repair comes to $50 :D

Plus, I get a monster truck as a rental for free lol

legendkurado 04-03-2008 05:11 AM

Only a few more hours :)

HeavyMetal699 04-03-2008 02:16 PM

Wow, your car went from undestructable to destroyed in less than 2 weeks!

Have them check your coils while they are at it.

Are you getting a new engine?

Well, the car was mostly destroyed when I bought it over a year ago. It's just taken the dealer this long to finally admit that they need to do something about it.

The tranny has always been crap. The stereo has always been crap (that's getting replaced, too - forgot to mention). The engine however is tip-top notch. It's just that everything around it isn't.

HERO 04-03-2008 10:57 PM

that sucks Nick. glad its only $50 out of pocket though!

how was the meet guys??

½mv² 04-04-2008 03:58 AM

Meet was good. A little shy on the turnout, but the food was good, and we all got smash up Enzos in retard-drift competitions @ PlanetZero XP

xsnipersgox 04-04-2008 08:40 AM

dennis's friend ain't getting any =( and we seem to be all interested in a DIY day too.

what i need:
throttle bypass
perhaps new driving light
Racing Beat screen install

a couple people need to do the AuX Hack mod for the cheap ass aux port.

don't know what else.. 1st of all

tools needed: 10 mil wrench, 10 mil socket, wrench, soldering gun, solder, soldering flux(optional) wire stripper, flathead screwdriver, Stereo aux cable from RadioShack(~5bucks)

time for mod.. anywhere from 2 to 5 hours.. depends on how fast we can get the radio out... tat thing's a bitch

Sifu 04-04-2008 01:37 PM

Lol at what happend during the game.

"xsnipersgox needs to be a rally racer" haha.

A DIY day would be awesome.

xsnipersgox 04-04-2008 01:41 PM

Geforce07 04-04-2008 02:35 PM

From what I use to can do, I can take out the radio in like 10 minute. Its not that hard once you've done it before but its been awhile =) Did yall try the imported game at Planetzero? Its called Maximum Tune and its the best game in the world

xsnipersgox 04-04-2008 02:42 PM
