Xbox----Forza 2 Night

We tried to get a Forza night set up last night, but it ended up being just Casey, Cesar and I. Denward was playing as well, but alternating with me at my house.

I would like to play some tonight and am hoping that a post early this morning will be enough time to coordinate this.

I haven't played for a month, so it would be really fun for me to have a room with 8 of you guys.

Scremn8....what is your gamertag?

How does 630PST sound?

Loren: it's going to be weird seeing your car on OEM's again.
How quickly are you looking to move those wheels? (just wondering if you'll be stock for SS X)

well if they move fast great if they dont ok, i like the wheels but i think i should sell, while i have the opportunity, to get the proper sizes.
not to mention i have the moeny for my supplement income tax but it still scares me so the extra moeny wouldnt hurt for a bit, then again what if i found a cheaper set of wheels/tires and a body kit?)

the offset on his wheels isn't ideal for the 8. (think they work well with Evo's though)
If I remember correctly, he's had some rubbing issues from time to time.

you're thinking tire size. Loren's problem was offset (how much the wheel sticks out)

i am 245/35/19 i think. but the strange part is i rotated the tires once and everythign was fine, i havent done enough miles on these to rotate again but the camber in the back is wearing out the tires, maybe the camber got loose? i dont want to start going through tires. I would love to get some volk progressive ME but may be out of reach brand new.

i like these but they are kind of cheap (quality?) and not that black

did you get your alignment done after you put the wheels on?
Weird that you'd go through them so quickly. I'm running a really agressive camber (for a street car) and my tires seem to be holding up.

I would get that alignment checked as soon as you put the OEMs back on, or you'll just burn through those as well.
I know a REALLY good alignment shop in Anaheim if you're willing to drive. (let me know though, they're appointment only)(

Loren, your alignment should be fine. Remember, those tires were used when you got them, that is why the guy gave you two sets of wheels. You have no way of proving how many miles he put on them...nor do we know how many miles, or how the tires were driven when they were on the original owners EVO. Those wheels and tires have gone through 3 owners. Don't fret about tire wear....yours should be the same, or better than mine. I got about 28,000 miles on my last set before the wires started to poke through.

I'm glad that Mazda alerted you to your tires, as you probably wouldn't have checked them prior to a blowout or failure. They probably saved you some major heartache, as a tire failure on those wheels would ruin them.

well i'll taking my car back to browning for them to reverse
the sunvisors and hopefully put that bar back on the sun roof. and take care of my airbag cell, and clean all the grease off my interior roof.
and maybe try and get them to detail my interior for free for all this
running back and forth... still look at the g35 when i get the chance.

my gamer tag is drum roll please.

hey guys need help. my buddy installed my amp and bazooka awhile back.
problem is the first amp went out now the second amp is going out
and it cost more then the first, and i dont play my music loud.
like everyone else it is to help on the bass.
so my question is are you using a high low converter, or
are you using cross overs alone. jedi and cesar you two have
the know, any ideas why i'm blowing amps?????
