nice avatar lesper!

 

I couldn't figure out why my wallet was itching, but then I checked out the Axial Flow Supercharger Thread, and I know why.

Looks like we're getting closer to a real, working supercharger, with impressive gains.
For those who don't know, this is the same guy who makes the short shifter we all know and love.

 

cesar - nice

yeah, I was at Ontario Mills on Sunday for a Corvette get together (buddy has a Z06).
Seeing all those Vorteq Superchargers made me want one...

Xrider didn't change his yet! no fair!

i've been having this illegal lane change of mine as an avatar for like 2 months already

 

I believe the appropriate name for the particular avatar is "suicide mission"

 

....or may I say...."yes officer, I would love a ticket"

Here you go X.

 

I'd like to know where the 5th picture was taken. I'd like to take a picture there. It might look cool w/ a yellow car.

- Cesar -

 

it was taken behind the 210 freeway on the corner of San Sevane and what ever street is on the north side of the 210. It was taken on a rather wet night. There was a lot of dew in the air and the street lights picked it up. It may be wet tonight. Make sure you take you tripod.

 

have to wait till next year unless the weather is right for tonight cause we are running out of dreary days...that picture was talking just up from keiths house... on a foggy/misty night, not sure if the weather will permit that again?

 

Erica has driven her car for two days now, on my autocross wheels, and has not been able to replicate the grinding problem.

I mounted the Hiro on my right front last night, mounting it with my Volk lugs. I drove for a half hour last night...and nothing. I left the rim mounted and drove to work this morning...again, no problem.

This is where Erica and I are with the rim and grinding issue. We are thinking that the rim was not mounted properly on her car...maybe that the lugs were not tightened evenly around the rim. The lugs are in really bad shape, are stripped in some spots, and are difficult to tighten completely. In fact, the dealership told us that there were only three lugs left on the right front tire. I checked the lugs when the problem first occured, and tightened them. I guess they were still not tightened properly...as they backed off in the 8 mile drive to the dealer.

So, we'll buy a new set of lugs and be extremely careful when mounting them on Erica's car.

At this point, problem seems to be resolved.

 

hehehe.....using a pic of the day of my inapropriate lane change

thanks

 

if that's all the problem was, then thank goodness. wouldn't want anything to happen to anybody because of the lugs. let me know how much the lugs run you, if you can, try to get a matching set with the other lugs already on the wheel.

 

Nah - i am just going to get a whole new set - for all four wheels. Especially considering those seem to strip so easily I would rather go with a different style.

 

cool beans.....when we swap back over, show me the recipt so i can reimburse you guys for the new lugs as well

i swear i'm trying my hardest to find a new job, but everywhere i go to, either doesn't have an open position for what i'm looking for, don't have the pay i'm looking for, or are giving too many hours which would interfere with my school schedule.

 

Sometime you have to suck it up and take what you can get ...at least untill you find what you want. When i lived in the desert (with the family) i took 16-20 units and worked 40 hours at an architectural firm, when i wasnt in school closer to 60 hours and when i started playing tennis for the college team i worked 32 hours. When i cam to Cal Poly Pomona i took a few years off and then i worked at office deport 35 hours my 4th year and at an architectural firm 24 hours my 5th year. Do what you got to do. (not too mention i took 9 years of school but at least i have a AS and BS to show for it)

KK you hireing at your flower shop/computer network?

 

there you go... hook it up!

 

ok everyone....... well, my poor hyundai is now gone i was trying for 2 days to work a deal on a used rx8 at the mitsubishi dealership by my house.. but the lack of "proof of income" really made it impossible.... so i settled for a 2003 mazda protege5..... yes, its a wagon, but i have a history w/ these cars (well, my first NEW car was a 2001 mazda protege mp3)..... so im gonna put my white 17" motegi's (the wheels i used 2 have on my rx7) on the car.... oh, the car is like a cherry red..... came w/ a k&n cold air intake that was a nice little suprise when i popped the hood
