  1. Not true (Except some dirt). My Apexi N1's were on the ReX for a couple years (10K plus miles) and outside the Goodrich brakes lines scratching one they still looked cool. http://www.irperformance.com/shop/product/mazda/apexi-exv-n1-coilovers-93-rx-7/
  2. Unless he added a turbo to the Renesis he is fixing a leaky/broken overflow tank. On the flipside water cooling or misting the Intercooler would be cooler : )
  3. Interested in the retractable compressor line. If avail let me know if I can grab it tonight? $25 reasonable..
  4. I have a couple old cedar ceiling beams I pulled down when I bought my current place (15 years ago). I think I have two or three left and they were 4 x 6 (8 - 10) feet. Let me look this evening and let you know.. Looks like this (Sort of) Let me know if Cehttp://www.loghomeresources.com/lumber/cedarroughcut1.jpgdar is what you are looking for.. Too funny now as these are popular (Darn I am old)
  5. No an aftermarket set would need to be installed.. Coming from a guy that had (*Past tense) a Rex7
  6. My M comes with slotted rotors from the factory. Assume more of the Bimmer's do the same (But also believe if not tracked it probably does not make a difference)..
  7. I bought my 2006 Tundra double cab new (Non 4x4) and have not looked back. 117K miles now and have only performed normal maintenance. Solid vehicles unless beat to death. Make sure you factor in the timing belt if not changed (Parts $250'ish, and upward to 600 labor if you are not installing) Also mentioned in another thread, not great on mpg's (15 -16 in town and 20 ish on the freeway)..
  8. Would rock the white car with the MUO 124R plates.. Unsure if that is a older Yota or potentially a Mazda (Other??) Pass on the Lotus Elite type 75 (Yuck) Agreed still a cool article and would be cool to visit if close and half way around the world.
  9. The article I read was a dual turbo using electric for low and a normal one for higher RPMs. Supposed to be more torque (Unsure what more might be) and 450 HP.. That was a AU article (can't recall where). Hoping, but like Smokey not holding my breath..
  10. I have a 2006 Double cab (Non-4x4) and 16 is the average in the city. The 4x4 versions were about 1 mpg less so you are close. Freeway you cannot get over 21 mpg (20 for you with the 4x4) Have same ghetto Volant (Noisy as hell) CAI and it might help a bit. End result/cause is the motor/drivetrain. * Assuming the big tires (Even @ 100PSI) is another factor. Solid truck even supporting Opec : )
  11. Daughter finished up her Bachelors in Business and HR (Almost three years @ Columbus State and the last year @ Franklin). The Franklin program was really nice and the online classes were done really well (I did a couple on-line classes about 10 years ago and dropped two for in class sessions. Highly suggest looking around for feedback on the program you want to complete. As I helped her (Daughter) I would suggest Franklin as she went downtown for the initial session and then again for graduation. It was that good (Both curriculum and instructors)
  12. Been going to this guy for years (Daughter and new husband now goes too). Dealt with rental property and college for kid. Approx $200 for mine, but more complex than some: http://denniswilliamsoncpa.com/ No relationship other than we have used for years..
  13. Looking @ the exterior that is where this guy (Too much time on his hands too) spent most of it. The interior is Gwad awful fugly. Nice job on the exterior though and cool accents on the 16 cyl engine replica.
  14. http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/10/10747050/buick-avista-naias-2016 Better link / photos / description Was looking at the car show pictures I saw the concept (Not Columbus) Buick Avista. This is something I would have loved to see @ the show and like the prototype specs (Twin turbo six from the ATS) and wow really like the outside almost every angle of the car. Would think about one of these if GM could make one under 40K
  15. Went last night to a pre show and saw: Small group (10 ish) of tuner cars mostly VQ (Nissan/Infiniti) Couple really nice Cadillac "V's" (Ouch $93K) - But really nice Couple unusual Camaros (2.0 liter turbo and a track ready 6.2) Couple nice Infinity "F's" - Also nice interior Did see the Focus RS (350 pony 2.3 liter Eco boost) in black Did any car/truck scream "buy me"... No Would have love to see the RX Next prototype (Assume only at the big shows) The Tuners were a nice add as well as a couple classic cars out front (Notably a twin turbo Nissan mixed in with the classic cars)
  16. In the second video (No load) the exhaust does sound bad.. Under load (Track ) it sounds awesome. Love seeing the muscle cars really return with a vengeance (Live rear ends/ forced induction/CF/specialized alloys/ Racing seats/ etc.)
  17. Been to Duck donut/doughnut too little pricey, but good.
  18. Daughter loves the Lil doughnut shop and the Cinnamon sticks at the Original Goodie shop (Tremont)
  19. Blue interior is optional as is the "Mallet" like fender stripes 460 ponies and the 1.20 on the skid pad says it all (Value & performance compared to many vehicles) Cousin has a C6 GS and added a Procharger. BA car..
  20. Very tempting for an ex FD owner (Same color scheme too).. GL with the sale...
  21. Love the 3100's (3 & 5 window) and more recently the same generation F100's. Curious to understand/see the progress as I was looking @ a Ford F100 1954 model year. Might be my next project...
  22. Model says it sports a display port. Get a display port to DVI adaptor and connect to your 24 inch ASUS monitor. Also the speed issue would be almost eliminated with something like the Samsung 250 Gig EVO SSD (about $120). This would bring this thing back to life for sure..
  23. I have had one for years and when we picked up our Newf we wanted to expand the area retrain the dog. Joe is right about cost as it is based on the size of the lot . I like Pet Stop as the owner / trainer and he works with you a lot. I think 5 - 700 for a half acre sounds about right. My dog is outside a lot and like I do not have to watch her all the time.. If you are a little faint of heart and do not like the "Oh shit" moment you may want bite the bullet and buy a fence (Ouch!)
  24. It is a shame.. Nazareth is an awesome restaurant (Frequent regularly) and the owner always comes out and chats with customers. Great guy and awesome food. Best Greek salad I have ever had.. Hope he and the girls that work there are OK..
  25. Got to the freeway ramp and it was backed up horrible. Decided to pull up Google maps and all red/orange (Definitely a WFH day). Makes me appreciate being in a technology job (At least for this piece).. Have AWD, but obviously most of Columbus does not. Or most are mentally deficient (Betting on the second one)..
