  1. Best bet is to call your local dealer and ask who does their glass. That way you know that they've done your type of car before and hopefully do good quality work. If you want to drive to Columbus, Indiana I can give you the shop name though.
  2. Not all windshields are created equal. I recently got a windshield done on the civic and I wanted it done perfect since I will be driving the car forever. I did research and Safelite's glass is so cheap because its crappy glass made in China. I found a few reviews of people getting headaches from driving with the new windshield because the distortion was so bad. Others had like moisture/vapor stuck between the layers of the glass which when driving a night was almost impossible due to glare. The brand they use is XYG. I called my local dealer and asked who does their glass and call them up. It was a local store and they were great. They do not even accept XYG brand glass, had lots of problems with it. Honda's factory glass was made by PPG, but it recently got bought out by PGW. I ended up getting the PGW glass for $240 installed. I looks great! Also, i heard Safelite uses cheap junk urethane to seal the windshield which takes 48hrs to dry. If I understand right you aren't supposed to drive during that period. This place used a better quality/faster curing/more expensive sealant.
  3. How many of you have used seafoam? Been thinking about doing it to the LS1 and my old truck. Just trying to see if its worth it? Has anyone ever gotten any unwanted damage because of using it?
  4. Lol, at 50 seconds....was that Sam?
  5. I love how my wheels look (same style as yours just bigger). But cleaning them sucks.
  6. Take lots of pictures at court. Could be a good FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...................................... Comic strip.
  7. You missed out man, there was one guy on v8 rx7 forum selling a S4 TII rear end for $175 just to get rid of it (cinci) was a hell of a deal. I have a spare one but I need it...sorry.
  8. If you can ship to 46131 i'll take it.
  9. I can't seem to find a pic of the accord with the z3 fenders.
  10. I wonder if all gameworks or just that one?

    Gravel Trucks

    I didn't konw that you could actually get any money back from it. I just replaced my windshield yesterday. Next time I will hunt them down.
  12. If you have a city commute....great. If you have to be on the highway for over 5 miles good luck. I hear they are turds and can't even get up to speed.
  13. Did you fall in the gravel parking lot because you were clipped in to your pedals? sorry man, that was classic.
  14. I had a cannondale R500 but I really hated the 'race stance' I sold it and got this Giant FCR2 hybrid, haven't looked back since, I love it. Carbon Fiber forks are FTW. Also has the SRAM shifters where the up shift and downshift are both on the underside of the handlebar for maximum control. These are MTB shifters but Giant put them on the FCR2, it took some time to get used to but I really like them. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/DSC03401.jpg I ride with lycra, if I am doing a 30 + mile ride i'll ride with just the lycra. If its a shorter ride i'll throw some shorts over. Say what you want but the seams in the shorts will eventually rub you raw. The lycra is designed to be seamless where it counts. Also, it breathes awesome.
  15. Being this swap went so well, I started gathering info on a 4BT swap into the F150. Unfortunately, my garage is not big enough to fit the truck in it and do any kind of work
  16. Bump. Just hit the $200 mark but $500 is the goal, you all are rich anyways, give to a good cause!
  17. Thanks for the compliments! Running the stock S4 TII rear end. Should hold enough power for 10s (which I don't plan on anytime soon) Next winter I plan to take the rear end out and put in stiffer mounts and a pinion snubber to eliminate wheel hop. Should be all I need to do.
  18. Yay its 'finished' I have about 250 miles on the swap and i can't believe I waited this long. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/LS1%20Swap%20into%20the%20RX-7/DSC03399.jpg
  19. Sorry man, I went LS1. Best $6,500 I spent on this car, after 300 miles and counting. I need a new avatar
  20. BTW. I have a GP1200 and I love it. Maybe add that one to your list?
