Very nice VR! Red rules

Bob

 

here you go

 

Nice Pics! I really like the aggressive rubber showing in pic #2. What are they and how do you like them?

 

Federal Tires. Similar to the Toyo T1R only cheaper
I like them a lot more than the potenza tires the car comes with...these are WAY quieter. I think grip and performance is about the same though....maybe a little more grip, but not a noticable difference.

 

The tread pattern looks similar to the Goodyear F1 GS-D3s, which I have had my eye on for a while now. They always come out very favorably in comparisons, and are VERY good in the wet. But, they are also VERY expensive. Have you seen any comparisons of the two? What is your experience in the wet?. I'm not an extreme driver, so I'm guessing even 75% to 80% of the capability of the Goodyears would suit me just fine. What are your thoughts?

 

Honestly i could give to ***** if they perform badly in the rain..because I drive really carefully in the rain. But so far so good. It's only rained once since I've gotten these tires and I didn't really get a chance to push them.
i say go for it. More $$ always means better product :D at least it does in my little world.

 

red worm, what lowering springs do you have? love your car's stance.

 

thanks.

HKS Hipermax RS coilovers, i just installed them... I didn't touch the preset from factory.

 

what site did you buy them from? and who did the install??
do you like how the car handles? I'm sure body roll is about zero for you, but how else does it handle?

 

Here are some pics of my 04 manual I bought about a month ago. I have put wheels and exhaust on it. Soon to be dropped and a RP supercat installed. Tell me what you think of the wheels?

From a distance and direct side view, I see a lot of rotor. Can't say I like that view. But a lot of times I like the way a wheel looks when its rollin ...

This is what 18" O.Z. Palladios with 245/40 Kumho ECSTA SPTs looks like.

 

Very nice. By the number of posts I'll say welcome also.

very different..

 

 

My car is screaming for a wax job, but I decided to take some new pics anyway:



More here.

 

Wow, awesome pics nvmygt. What camera is that, and what settings?

Are those aftermarket bulbs btw

 

Thanks Raptor!
All pictures were taken with my Canon Digital Rebel XT. You can find out about the settings by going to my flickr page (linked above) and on the right side of the picture there is a "more properties" option that'll answer all of your setting questions. Most were taken in fully automatic as I was supposed to be running errands, but couldn't resist stopping to snap a few pics.

I bought the bulbs off of a forum member. They're 8,000K HID bulbs. They do put out less light in the evening, but the output can still be considered bright.

 

Taht Car Is Screaming For Some 18's

 

It already has 18s. When I upgrade (next summer) I'm going to 19s.

EDIT: Looks like you might be talking about the pictures above mine...In that case, I agree.

 

I like that one a lot for some reason, I guess it reminds me of washing my car in the evening, and considering your car is almost identical to mine.

It would behoove you to get clear corners though

The automatic photos look like they have the same lighting as your manual photos, despite the automatic having a default ISO of 800...hmmm

 

sorry , i was talking about the base model one..haha

it looks like those option wheels on Scion tC. " shudders "

 

I had a couple of hours to kill before my girlfriend stopped over so I decided to ***** some more...








I simply cannot get enough of this camera. Perfect every time.
