Man that looks great. and the trails aren't even clogged up with lines of open-pipes billies digging ruts?

 

how far from town is that?

never had to warranty an HK but heard they can be dickish. in my experience manufacturers will pay overnight shipping both ways on warranty work, from my door to my door. Win!

 

hammer spring would be my bet too, unless it's so gummed up with old dried lube it's sticking.

Looks beautiful. Real bummer there aren't more off road places around cbus.

That's strange, they have been EXCELLENT every time I've needed anything from them. Is Joe still the manager there? He was always great

 

Yeah I miss when Stuart or Tom worked there. Place used to be cool.

to play devils advocate it's not unreasonable for burger king to not fix mcdonalds mistakes

 

I'm not asking them to fix NTBs shitty balance, I'm asking them to fix their own shitty balance.

I can no longer recommend this location.

 

I've been going there 10 years (9 sets of tires that I can remember) and never had a problem. All of a sudden they refuse to re-balance tires with 5k on em, with only a bullshit explanations of "state regulations say... with the wear I wouldn't be able to balance em anyway... shoulder looks kinda wavy..."

 

Previously they've re-balanced tires that got annoying, patched punctures, made an effort to clean dirty bead areas if a tire was losing air.

 

RIP Discount tire.

this is coming along really nicely. nice to see an rv that isn't a rusted out pile of non-op

are there at least other cheap cars for you to contend for the bottom place or three? or is it just the field, 5 seconds, then you in no-man's land?

where are you seeing $200? I'm trying to do one. $300 is all i see at the moment

 

Gotta have that hookup! Sometimes you get a discount if you only do 1-day of a 2-day event

Rymer complains about racing but does none himself.

 

:gabe:

 

How'd you do in that last 944 race? I'll get my track fix one $200 hpde at a time. Until then, I'll be 3-honkin it

maybe you're on the wrong forum? new accords are terrible. terrible steering, terrible brakes, terrible seats, terrible interior, terrible radio... every time I drive one, I wonder how any person could subject themselves to that level of disappointment when so many more entertaining cars exist. They would sell zero of these if it weren't for their reliability and brand-fanboism.

appreciate you posting in here, so little racing content anymore on columbusracing.

 

was half interested in chumpcar with my e36 once upon a time, cost and labor turned me off for now

I love reading these stories, however, why don't you call the cops? its fucking midnight. let the cops try and sort it out, if they don't then put them on blast

 

LOL I I can tell you from experience, if you call cbus police about a noise complaint they are not showing up. Maybe some bored-ass speed-trapping suburb cops would, but not city PD.

Man, that building looks familiar.

 

I might be able to swing by and grab some tomorrow. PM the address.

 

Thanks

friend bought a first year cooper S. was a giant pile of shit, under warranty, out of warranty, still has it, and is still a pile of shit. run far far away. if you gave me one, I would still not drive it.

c5z is a fine cheapo sports car for $12k

 

you shoulda bought jordan's gtr

 

vette LOL

shame it's not a 3-pedal, I know a few people looking for those

Is a 414hp Boxster REALLY that special for 5-6x the cost of a well-sorted used one?

 

#newcarpricesLOL

 

considering 99% of em will putt around in traffic <20% throttle? NOPE!

 

Older Boxsters are really excellent toys for $10-$15k if you want a non-4 banger mid-engined car... because you have almost no options in that segment.

auto funcars LOL I mean my sweet CR-V prestige elite //MSport is pretty peppy though and the kids's friends thinks it looks cool

there are a few gotchas on the m96/m97 motors for sure.

 

fear-monger extraordinaire jake raby has some classes and I think? he's doing a book with the common rebuild mistakes and such documented.

 

a couple people on rennlist have done their own rebuilds successfully, so read up in the 996 and boxster/cayman forums.

 

if the heads are good, it's likely going to be much faster and cheaper to just get a porsche shortblock, they were $4k-$6k last I checked online. Here's the latest thread in the 996 forum https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/1166536-replacement-m96-diy-engines-under-10k.html

smokin deal for sure.

 

I've got some throwaway autox tires you could throw on that and come have fun with us if you change your mind...

On the Euro cars you have to take some of the toe and camber out on the alignment to get better wear and they will stay quiet. The big issue is that most of the euro cars run a super aggressive alignment for street use.

 

 

shit, I'll trade wear for better turn in and more neutral handling any day. otherwise might as well get an econobox

Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3

 

I've had the older DWS and AS/3 and they're both about as good as you can get for a high mileage enthusiast commuter all season.

 

I remember the DWS having a little squishier sidewall, and the AS3 are SUPER noisy as they get worn and old.

 

40k is crazy mileage out of a sport-oriented all-season. sounds like a boring 40k, those things should have been rekt in half that mileage

they will all do it eventually. earlier if you're actually having fun. earlier yet if you're having fun on any kind of summer- or god forbid, stickier tire.

 

you probably won't live long enough to have the problem if you drive like a granny on shit tires, but then why bother with an m3h?

 

prices on e46m have bottomed out for sure, have you compared them against e9xm yet?

What kind of family hauler is the most reliable under $15k and has a 3rd row seat? Wife says it needs to have a rearview camera and blindspot alarms since we're both retarded and don't remember how to drive.

 

it goes without saying, but this is for your FYI gotta be FWD and auto only, so she can drive it.
