Is there an official CnC site of any kind? Not sure if they have started back up in CLE yet.

Nice. Hope you negotiated down from Toy Barn's rape pricing.

Very nice- and cant beat Jordan's service!

Take Casey's for a drive-see if its appreciably different

LOL. I am in a similar boat. I drive my car, HARD, just about every day y(note to self-delete this post before selling) I am lucky enough to live right next to a state park with a great road, AND A highway-So I go Highway, one exit to work, windy forest on the way home. 5 miles each way for work. I love the way the car handles now, I really think it’s about perfect. GM did a great job on this thing-and I'd hate to go this route and not be able to enjoy the car.

Love it!!

Got ya. May consider but dont want to step on Casey's toes

Assume you have H&R's then? MM spacer in the rear? Are the on the car or are you now just hesitant to put them on?

Although not a rocket scientist, I am well aware that a thicker, one piece wheel of any alloy will be in most cases stronger than a thinner or multi piece counterpart. I was just dispelling this myth that magnesium +because race ca wheel = you million dollar wheel's failure. The fact hat you are still trying to fly the flag that a show car driven at show car speeds on the street is harder on a wheel than an race car in a cock sucking race environment is absolutely ridiculous. So ridiculous in fact that there is no point in arguing about it. The only thing I will take away from this is that there is and will always be young kids out there that have more than they necessarily need, or deserve with the thanks of parents that have maybe over-supported their endeavors in this hobby. An unfortunate byproduct of this is a delusion of ability or knowledge that typically comes with years in actual motorsport. Something that trolling the net, or quoting something you read on uber voretex does not measure up to. When you face this, even the most accomplished racer would not win this E-battle. Some of these kids are just a flash in the pan. Showing up one day in a new, modded GT2, and gone the next. Some of these kids actually take what opportunities their parents have afforded them to actually become immersed in motorsport. Starting a business or actually engaging in a real race series. Learning from actual experience or the knowledge passed down from people that have been in the game a long, long time. Some wear skinny jeans and buy the most expensive supposedly unusable parts for their car and complain when they fail. True motorsports experts after a few trips to waterfest and the local stance’d meet. Rinse and repeat. In the end-I am glad you were not hurt when your wheel failed- and glad you figured out the issue. If you are happy with what you have, that’s all that matters 

See below. Also do you really think a “stanced’” car driver is even going to attempt a a speed bump at ANY speed? If you are in traffic or taking the course on a aggressive line you will hit a rumble strip at speed here (and Mid Ohio has pretty mild rumble strips compared to some other tracks I have seen) . If this uber race wheel cant that that- why would you be OK with it failing on a smooth, flat stretch of highway?? El oh El

This guy gets it. I am mad just thinking about it. You can have a light wheel that will not come apart before you first freaking oil change. Hell, an OE C5 Vette had magnesium wheels!! :dumb: As far as a track wheel being "weaker" that a street wheel, I 100% disagree with you, and I think anyone that has been on track would. That would be suggesting that slowly street driving your stanced’ car is harder on the wheel than a road race. Your shit came apart on a smooth, flat road. How would it hold up to the Chicane at Mid-Ohio? Or the Kink at speed? I understand your father has supported you and your brother in your endeavors with cars. Does he have a motorsport background? Ask him if a track wheel is weaker than an OE counterpart. Just think about what you’re implying here.

Very cool lot, but try and find out whom the builder was, and do some research before making the commitment.

Cleared out! Crazy how quickly you get to 100 PM's

Bump!

Skinny correct? Tire condition?

Give me one pass at full geechie and I will give you a record. No warm up needed. Good to see zero wheel hop in the burnout.

The amount of massaging she needs to keep that ass cellulite free has to be INSANE.

Had one. Literally 2 seats, a cluster, and a stearing wheel. I filled up once every 3 weeks, and found a way to get laid IN the car, more than once on Game day. Savage mode-ON http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/DSC02474.jpg

I'm with doc on this one. Yes, the car does look good. But, if I am buying a racehorse, I would take it to the racetrack, not fluf it's main and call it a show pony. I hate that people mod cars and make them less functional than they were in their OEM state. There are plenty of ways to make a car better. Better to me when speaking of a car is making it accelerated faster, stop quicker, or turn harder. best part is you can improve the "look" at each stage of this game. This guy is doing it right. Improving the car while improving the look at the same time. Hell, it may even be stanced? http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116560 Doing something solely for the "look" is doing it wrong. But, to each her own. As for your million dollar one off wheels taking a shit, I would asked them to fly me to their home office to drop the wheel off in person, toss the cracked POS thought their office door, take a shit on their desk, take your refund, and tell them to scam someone else. That could have cost you your car and your life at highway speed. You can get a 5$ wheel forma junkyard that would have outperformed that thing. Think about that……

BOOM Easiest and best way to deal with this. Works every time.

On a motorcycle With may/most of the turns being blind or partially blind entry.

I had this happen with a rental I purchased. Not one drain in the house worked! Rented a 100 foot powered snake and went to town-3 garbage bags of hair/roots/and whatever else-no problems for the last 5 years. I do a once a year ROOT KILL treatment to keep it flowing. This is a DIY job as long as the pipe is intact.

Am I ridiculous to think the bronze looks good?

Anybody?
