Paretti has an R3. Black. I was all happy. Looks very nice. I wanna get a chance to visit when they are open and check out the seats. If it's comfy, I'm game. Looking at August 2010. Unfortunately, I might have to wait. The 2010 models are supposed to have a 15B. I could go for that. R3 with 15B. Moar powah!

Still around

Hey guys,

I haven't been on the local forum in ages. Have only been checking info in the tech garage for a CEL and which tires are good/affordable lately. Anyone around here found a steal on tires? I'm getting REAL close to needing a new set.

Call Keith at Ray Brandt on the Westbank. 504-363-1405.

I got Kumho tires from him for a decent price. I wanted to go back with the Nittos that I had on the car, but I got maybe a little over 10K miles on them for everyday driving. That sucks.

Calling All Louisiana 8 Owners
So heres the deal, my RP SuperCat may be dead so I have to send it off to RP so they can have a look at it and possible get a new one to me. The only problem is that I have to pay $100 for my local shop to take it off, then I will have to pay them another $100 to put it back on when I get the new one. I am tying to save up for the Cobb AP and that 200 is big. So if there is anyone that is willing to help me with the Cat removel and instillation I would really appreciate it. I would be more than happy to offer some cash for your help. If anyone is interested just let me know. Thanks

You guest not?

Man, I really wish I had a nice weekend to clean my car. I wanna have nothing to do except sit out with the buffer and get that car shiny clean.

Alrite...I need to get back to trying to finish a part of a project so I can go into work tomorrow and work on other parts of the project.

Actually, maybe I should just go to bed and dream of detailing my car and wake up early to end of year hell.

/edit: from the other day:

Silly question. Have any of you noticed that Castrol 5W20 is in short supply? I went to 6 different auto parts store to find some.

Hmmm, didn't notice that, its pretty easy to find around Lafayette.. the autozone on pinhook always has castrol gtx 5w-20 in stock.

You can also order it online, a case is cheap as hell, and it will last you a hell of a longer time!
