I've had this sitting around for a while; been meaning to use it eventually.

For my last birfday my girlfriend bought me the meguiarS headlight kit. Now I have a reason to use it. Also if anyone knows if there's a wrecked anywhere I would like a rim? I have one withsome curb rash and would like to get it switched out after snow season.

I bet that had to be painful. If I were to have done the same to my wheels when I got them new... no idea how I'd have reacted.


Two places I know of for wheel repair; one first hand, other 2nd hand:

I had a bent wheel repaired @ the Hubcap & Wheel store off of St. Charles Rock Road & 70 (couldn't find a website of their own):

http://stlouis.citysearch.com/profil...eel_store.html

Their customer service is kinda sucky (I think it's really just one bad apple of an employee), but they did an alright job. I don't know how good their refinishing services are.


A friend on a local car forum didn't care for the customer service @ the place above and instead went to the other side of the river:

http://www.bautoparts.net/

Apparently they did a good job on straightening out a wheel for him. Their website advertises refinishing as well.


I'd recommend calling both places for estimates before committing.

I was pretty damn pissed. Special teams really lost that game for them though. A blocked extra point, bad snap on a field goal, and allowing a 20 yard run on a fake punt. Special teams just gave the game away. I have tickets for this game too, but idk if I am gonna go yet.

Yeah.. I had that feeling too, but you guys will still get a pretty good bowl. Iowa is beating up on Michigan State by 30 points at half. That's huge.

I'm from Cape Girardeau too. Just bought my second RX8 this Friday. I got a 2005 velocity red MT with the appearance package, navigation, etc from a dealer up in STL. I sold the first RX8 back in 2007 because it was a base AT. Too slow for my taste.

I'll be starting on mods here in a week or so. I am starting with powder coating the stock 18" wheels black. Then I'll be moving on to a Racing Beat exhaust w/ midpipe and a Racing Beat CAI. I plan on lowering it and tinting the front windows too.

It'll be a while before I get the Racing Beat parts because I have to sell some **** before I buy them. I am too cheap to dip into my checking account for the money.

It'd be cool to get a few RX8 owners in Cape Girardeau together and go on a cruise.

Yea James I got one of the players to give me And some buddies free tickets or I may have cried after paying money to see us get killed. We were dominated in every part of the game. Yea Ryan there RB had 305 yards or something insane like that.

I'll be back in STL this weekend so we need our anual meet up at hooters.

jap-muscle (aka "The Highlander") is completed. Flowmaster 10 series installed today and it sounds nice and aggressive. i took several pictures and some video. ill post them on here as soon as i do an after (already did the before). Rob's Muffler in East Alton did all the custom pipe work and welding. well worth the money ($514.24 with tax and labor).

andy, I saw a thread apparently you had seen it as well that stated that the baffles in the flowmaster muffler may be melted due to the heat of our rotaries... did you have anything done to prevent said melting?

edit: cant wait to hear it!
