  1. Reintroduction?

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Hello new/old guy.....looking forward to catching up with you in May. Or you may be trying to catch me on the Dragon LOL.

    Ha, I'll be so far behind you that you'll be wondering if I'm off the mountain. But you know my history... I like starting out as the slow car. ;)

     

     

    Mike, it's great that you're back.

     

    For those not familiar with Mike, he does the best car photography around. He's done my CR calendar car shots and much more. He's the consummate professional to work with on a shoot, and a great car guy.

     

    I can't rep you enough. :thumbup:

    Thanks Doc. Totally appreciate the support! I'm looking forward to seeing what else you've been adding to that crazy garage of yours. Spring can't come soon enough.

    I suggest APR for your flash, wait for it to go on sale, and you can get a fully loaded (4 programs) for the price of 1 program.

     

    APR and AWE carry hefty price tags for exhaust parts, so I'd find another vendor for your downpipe or turboback.

     

    For coilovers, might want to check out the new Bilstein PSS kit, b14. Its bilstein quality, but without the damping adjustments, and significantly cheaper. KW V1s are good too.

     

    Enjoy the car!

    Thanks Aaron. I did just that with the GLI and I'm going to do the same again; the sale is perfect and I loved the 4-program setup.

     

    My only concern for the DP is the fitment with the AWE catback in the future, and fit with the existing cat-back. My BB DP on the GLI pushed my OEM cat-back out 3-4 inches and I hated it. :no:

     

    I'll check out the Bilstein kit for sure.

     

    Sorry to see the 300zx go. It was a great example. The A5 looks great though and sounds like it'll turn out great.

    Thanks! She's actually in VA with one of my best friends, so honestly it was the best transition possible. Good home, knowledgeable owner, and I know she'll be taken care of from here on out.

    Mike's making his A5 into a schweet ride.

     

    Great to see you back, mang! You'll be a valuable contributor. :)

    After a quad turbo kit and a huge wing, she'll be ready to go.

     

    Nice car.

     

    2.0T?

     

    Manual?

     

    mod plans?

     

    Looks like a premium plus...

    Dead on. 2.0T, 6spd, Premium Plus. After a month or so of a basic shakedown, I'm probably going to hop to either APR or AWE for a chip upgrade, throw in a beefier DV, and maybe some sways. Those are the only mod plans before heading down to the Tail of the Dragon this year in May.

     

    Somewhere before or after that I'd like to find a reputable place to get a tint job done.

     

    In the coming year or so?

    - AWE intercooler

    - APR or AWE downpipe

    - AWE quad cat-back, to go with...

    - Deval Valence w/S5 or S-Line rear bumper

    - H&R Coilovers or H&R OE Sport Springs (still deciding what to do...)

    - Some nice 19" wheel/tire option for warm weather

     

    When all of that is done?

    - APR K04 kit

     

    I'm not trying to make a beast of a car after all; just a great DD with some extras. Loved the 1.8T in the GLI and can already see that the 2.0T is going to be just as enjoyable.

  4. Reintroduction?

    Hey guys,

     

    After some time away from CR, I'm finally making my way back. Since I switched cars and maybe got a few haircuts while MIA, I thought it was worth doing a pseudo-reintroduction post. So... hi. :fa:

     

    I was probably seen with a dirty VW GLI or goofy autox-stickered 300ZXTT from time to time at C&C over the years. So here's the new DD (and only car so maybe "DD" doesn't fit?)

     

    See everyone in the spring. :lurk:

     

    (hopefully the links work...)

  8. Tinted tails

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    I'm a fan of crisp, bright tail lights, even when not lit. But that's subjective I suppose. I totally agree with the rear-ending issue though; most people I see during my morning commute can barely handle driving in a straight line without swerving or nearly missing someone stopping.

  10. Honda Indy 200 @ Mid Ohio

    in Pics and Vids

    Posted

    I was lucky enough to get some all-access passes to this past weekend's Indy 200 at Mid Ohio. I'm still processing the final cuts, but they will slowly be finding their way to flickr this week. I thought they would be worth sharing.

    Oakley E-Wires from around 1999-2000 season

    Canon Rebel XT (350D) DSLR

    Specs/Info here: Canon 350D

    It has roughly 6-7k shots taken on it and does need a shutter repair to be operational. This isn't a major overhaul and any camera store can take care of it quickly. I bought a new body, and want to get this to a new home. I can include the kit lens (Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6) which is in near-perfect condition for $100 extra.

    $150 (body only), $250 (body and lens) obo

    Finally, there's this old workout bench.

    FREE.

    Come and get it before it goes on the curb. It's so awesome I don't even feel like taking a better photo.

  21. Columbus Cars & Coffee - 5/1

    No no no I wasn't making an accusation that it was a bad turnout that was me being bummed that I missed you guys. I would have stopped had I gotten there at the right time.

     

    You probably just missed us. The rain got the better of me, as did the need to go back to bed.
