    EPIC

    Love it or hate it, man this dude can drive. GYMKHANA TEN
  2. I like it. What are you using to edit the videos?
  3. Welfare Vette- If I still have it after Tax time. Pimp it. Spend 0$ doing it. BMW just turned 150k. Either Sell and find a newer DD or commit to trying for 200k. Its still the best fast DD I have ever owned. Total maintenance going on 4 years/50k of ownership is a set of brake pads, oil changes and a battery. If I keep It I think I want to flush the trans/T case/rear/brake and coolant. Pads and rotors-possible water pump and a preventative measure. HoboEvo. 165mph 1/4. 200mph 1/2. 9.5 ET. In that order.
  4. Nice work. Do you have any recommended YouTube vids on proper ceramic coating application? Also what did you use to remove the ceramic coating when you stared?
  5. Literally all parts stores have them in stock, on the shelf. Universal 5 lug. $20 a set. If they don't work, return them.
  6. My uncle retired from Chevy making 54$/hr.+ full Medical+full pension. He would often joke that he would fall asleep on the job, and his job was turing 6 bolts on a v6 water pumps (with a preset pneumatic torque wrench). I love him to death, but any trained Monkey would have been happy doing his job for 17.50/hr and half the benefits. The UAW is maybe the single largest reason it's difficult fr US Automakers to compete globally I wonder what the CEO's pay cut will be?
  7. Did you buy it new? What was your original out the door price?
  8. I'm not asking to pry, I'm asking before I recommend anything. Where is mom? Any mom figure in the picture?
  9. Seems very smoke in mirrors. They put out that they were looking for somewhere that would give them incentive (many places offered more) Offered employable talent (Its got $39 to fly anywhere on Spirit- good companies attract talent to any location) Close to an international airport (any large city) and easy of public and owned transportation (DEF NOT FUCKING NYC OR VA) I think Amazon put out feelers last year, wanted more, so the started a feeding frenzy. They knew where they wanted to be before day one of this. Bravo.
  10. Love it!! Random Q, are all of them "open" in the rear like that? The stanchions remind me of a new Ford Gt of all things lol
  11. Targa Mandatory? Just make sure you are getting a good deal a lot of big money cars out there for relatively cheap these days
  12. End of the year we kind to me. The $50 shootout trans is STILL HOLDING! Nuts. Ended with a PB mph 9.8@159 And due to some botched launch settings, I did an endo! Some street hits. Official goals for 2019 are 160+ and 9.5et I would LOVE to see 165mph, be we'll see what happens.
  13. I've driven a turned up P100D and been in a 918 from a "dig". Here's my take I can honestly see myself driving a Tesla for a DD. If they allow privateers to actually fix them, I'd buy one used. That being said- it is fast 0-60. The"hit" is hilarious and brutal. But for a "fun" car I'm just not into it. I'd take my c6z bellowing unburned fuel and ludacris merica' sounds out of the exhaust any day of the week, even if its slower to 60. Its a visceral driving experience vs. what is effectively a silent roller coaster. For that reason, I don't dig the E copo but I get the marketing and brand awareness aspect of it. Now the 918 makes great use of the electric motors on the leave. I think the way it integrates the electric motors for initial acceleration will be mainstream in the next 5-10 years. That I'm cool with for a sports car. Super effective.
  14. His Blue Supra will be at WCF. Funny, but it prob makes more than this lambo. :lolguy: Crazy to think that Jamies Lambo trapped what this one did 6+ years ago. Although, watching the video drivability is prob 100x better. There was a lot to be desired int he early big HP Gallardo Trans calibrations.
  15. Awesome. And, funny to see the patina look being in- all these rusty cars with multiple 100ks in em'. Merica'
  16. Thanks! I wish the car was in better shape for that Vid, we literally only got one pull in because my MAP sensor exploded. The rest of the videos I took at home in Tijuana. "Unknown" trans from a stock GSX at the shootout. I broke the previous trans at the shootout, and I got this one from the trade show area Do I get a membership tot he club?
  17. Some fun recent in car video after trying to break my $50 trans (I wont fix it if it aint broke!) Wont make any more power- Im 95% sure its just floating the valves past 42-43 psi. 42-48psi netted nothing besides more fluid in the overflow. I guess this is the theoretical limit of Ev08 springs and standard ARP head studs.
  18. Stop at starbucks pop in your favorite CD and Make the trip to Lucore?
  19. If he'd rather have an 01 Impala over this, there is no hope. Show your brother the way...
  20. I just see this as a sign with America's continued obsession with financing cars. Who cares what the price is... Just tell me the payment. :lolguy:
  21. @ 9600? They really reving these things to 10k rpm?
  22. I built a few-all wood. Some Pre-Fab some Buy-wood-and-go. The DYI was always sturdier, but always more expensive. If you don't do concrete, you will always have some amount of moisture, or critter in and under your shed. I will be building one next year but my Fancy pants HOA requires it MATCH the house-siding and roof- so I may be getting pro help for at least the siding. Plan is something looking like iwashmycar with a 2nd floor. 10x14. 50/50 on doing a concrete floor.
