That be me. That M3 followed me from Red Bank onto the connector with Columbia Parkway. I let him get ahead of me on Columbia Pkwy since I wanted to count the parts that fell off his car

There was another more recent M3 down there that probably had the worst aftermarket exhaust on a BMW I've ever heard. Sounded like a Civic with a large fartcan exhaust.

The 911 GT3 RS gray/orange had the best exhaust. What a car.

Awww dang it, so you're the guy he told me he had a pending sale/trade >:/
Now all you need is a set of wheels and some more low, good purchase.
Wish I had PM'd him sooner

New Ti-Grey Enkei Raijins will be on in the spring and possibly a drop don't you worry...

Robo: Fuel is a coffee place a couple miles east of Downtown on 52/riverside dr./Kellogg. They do coffee and cars every saturday morning.

As far as boost and shops go, Redsun nailed it. There isn't a place in Cincy. Defined does some amazing work, but i have yet to hear of them tackling an 8. Start saving your pennies and start doing your research. It's not cheap, and an engine rebuild would pretty much be a must at your mileage.

Bourbon: Looks good. You'll have to make it down to fuel in the spring with her. Are you still in Mt. Washington?

In other news, the dog has taken very well to the e-collar. We've only had to remind him of its presence a few times to get him to come when called from wherever he is in the yard. He's a smart little ****. He's enjoying his freedom and we're enjoying not chasing him all the way down to the neighbors. He got to chase his first squirrel yesterday.

Will do undoubtedly, this quarter has been really rough or I would have made it out sooner. I will be in Mt. Washington for it seems like forever cause my kids go to Sands Montessori so I have to stay in the Cincinnati school district.

All of Ra's parts are super clean and someone needs to buy his RB midpipe! I would have picked it up if I didn't already have my BHR.

Bradleybourbon

I had planned to do 18X9.5 +35 in the rear and possibly 18X8.5 in the front to avoid rolling it but I might consider 9.5's all the way around.

Good luck finding your AFE Shifter, I have had mine since 2008 and I love it.

If you'd need a roll, it would be in the rear with an 18x9.5 +35. It wouldn't need to be an aggressive roll if any at all depending on ride height and alignement specs.

I'd say go 9.5 all the way around if you're going to do it.

I really want Ra's exhaust but for me to be able to purchase and carry back here becomes difficult since I'm in school and what not lol
And for some reason my mind set on the fBumper and the exhaust are in different places. I would have skipped class to go get the fBumper but I can't justify doing it for the exhaust... weird...

Bradleybourbon

I have the SP2 as well and it is one of the best sounding exhausts for the 8 IMO. The drive isn't really that bad I just had the unfortunate timing of fighting everyone on the roads returning from the thanksgiving holiday. I don't think he has had any interested in the exhaust so it might still be around after finals.

Where do you go to school and what for?

I currently go to NKU for a Comp Sci major.
I see a tiGray Rx-8 with a replica (I think) MS fBumper and momo wheels. Has an aftermarket exhaust as well if it's anyone on here. I could have sworn it was on CL a couple months ago too.

Atredeus

Ouch... Comp Sci. UC just nixed my major, so good thing you got a little south. Do yourself a favor and turn down consulting/contract gigs once you're out :P

Well, looks like I'm stuck with a Jeep Liberty for a little while. I think it might be a game to see the biggest rental they can stick me with. And I still almost got sideswiped on the highway like they didn't see me. Good lord.

It could be worse. You could be driving a minivan like Wendy had when she was getting her clutch installed.

Bradleybourbon

Minivans aren't actually that bad once you get yourself past the term "minivan." We took the plunge last year and that was one of the best automotive desions I ever made (next to purchasing my 8 of course.)

That's Domenico's old car. Haven't seen or met the cat that bought it though.

I had both a first and second gen MPV. First gen was rear wheel drive, you couldn't get the V6 with a manual but I could still spin them up and slide around corners (my two oldest appreciated that!). The second gen handled pretty well too and had some neat features.

There we go, Domenico was the name I was looking for, was trying to buy his series 2 wheels but he never got pics for me for the cracked wheel. Oh well, I think I got a steal on my RC-T4's lol

Oh and Mazda Takeri concept was shown with a twin turbo skyactive diesel engine...
If it's anything like the Mazdaspeed6, that will be the car I purchase new when I leave college for a new replacement dd.

Bradleybourbon

Anyone ever used this or know of anyone who did?

My first rental car, when my 6th gear synchro was being replaced, was a Town n Country. See page 90-something :P

A friend of mine is in Dallas on business. He just sent me a text with a pic of his rental. A brand new Camaro. SS no less. He's having fun. I told him to post something on YouTube with a smoking burnout. Avis won't mind.

Best rental I ever had was a Chrysler Crossfire convertible. I had it for 4 days in Northern Cal. It had an auto and once you banged up against the rev limiter, it sometimes went into limp mode. I had to pull over a couple times to restart it to get it moving again. It was sort of fun on US 1 north in Marin County but I couldn't figure out how to disable the traction control. Still, it beat a minivan, which was my other option at National.

Many, many years ago I had a two door Toyota as a rental. I was messing around a little, shifting the auto. I forgot it was an auto and when I went to upshift, I hit the clutch. Only problem was, it was the brake!

I got the HID modified headlights installed in the Miata today, but I don't have high beams. No voltage going to the actuating solenoids for some reason. I have a thread open on the HID forum to see if anyone can help me with it.

I'm planning on coming over to the Fuel this saturday, if you can make it (or even just for a good cup of coffee and great cars)
i gotta go to dayton in the afternoon, so i'll be most likely driving my wife's SUV, and will be there late around 11:00 or 11:30.
let me know if you are planning on be there, and i'll bring my leftover paints for the emblems.

I'll probably be at Fuel tomorrow but it will most likely be around 1000. I have decorations to put up tomorrow! Hoping to get my catch can back today, I got my valve cover modified with some stainless pot scrubbers in the vent compartments that is supposed to reduce carryover.

Mazdax3

I may be there tomorrow as well. As Chief said, I have lights to put out also. Mine I just throw onto the bushes and go for the free style look. That'll take 15 minutes but finding the burnt out bulb takes hours.
