Biggu: it prolly isnt me. i sold the turbo kit/motor in 07. the car has been sitting in a storage unit ever since. boosted98: i barely remember, did you live in marysville or something? that had to be back in 2003 or so. do you have an 450s now??? i can always use a set :-)

Also, I know quite a few people on here. I'm not sure of their user names, but I used to work for Dale's wife (dale with the dsm, wrx, ws6, vette and now G35), Mark's buddy (All Wheel Slow),Shanton (NeonKiller), Brian (Mobile Dyno) tuned my bike this past summer. I've helped a few people out as well with their projects on here, once again i dont know their user names. Oh, and i also have an 88 samurai that i use in the winter for some parking lot fun

whats up, im steve and everyone calls me Smoke. I used to drive a blue civic sedan, turbo automatic years ago. now I daily ride my CBR600. I work at BMW as a technician and love what i do. I was registered on here years ago but no one really knew that name. I go by smokeshank on almost all the forums im on. Hope to see you guys around, especially those winter auto x'ers of you -Smoke

i actually think we PAY to have our waste oil taken away. we have a 500 gallon (Atleast) tank we have emptied atleast once a month. oil change 7-9 qts a car, atleast 10-20 cars a day. adds up.

the market is just slow right now. its not just a certain dealer problem. its the economy. good thing is, usually people with bmws arent hurt "as bad" as non-bmw owners. i have a few friends at mag. and i know a couple people that went to florida. they too got raises, but arent making that many more hours. i forget where one went (i want to say miami). he said theres a CRAP LOAD of cars written up, but the problem is there are 7x techs. at my dealer, we dont have a whole lot of cars written up (compared to florida) but we only have 13-16 techs.

sorry i dont do body work. mag stays more busy than us. i have a few friends there. thats what happens with multiple car lines... all PMS replied. sorry if it takes a day or two to get back, im staying busy at work, just not making bank like i'd like to. ousley, what do you do? I'm assuming you work for FS? are you going to mag as a writer then?

im going to see it (if things work to plan) wed when it comes out. anyone down?

alright well its getting down to doing side work now. I work for a living at BMW as a tech, and another tech and I need some side work (business is slow right now). if any of you guys need some work done (non-BMW) let me know. A/C charges, axles, tires, exhaust (welding and fabricating), etc. heck even oil changes. please let me know! :-P im trying to get this bike paid off by this winter. PM me here or email sconreaux@gmail.com and i do NOT do motorcycle tires, please talk to yota about those. thanks!

"janky" look up the term. urban dictionary says "Poorly constructed or put together, and does not seem like it should function at all, although it may perform beyond expectations." i roll with the janky crew in north cbus. they are cars, but if you could relate, they are rats

mine.... josh's

i lowered mine 3" put smoked double bubble on a few months ago just ordered a scorpion high mount CF for 250 new, just slip on not much more planned, ill have to see what i come across

it was fun, sorry couldnt make the hunt, but the ride was a blast. cant wait for the next one

ill buy the lense off you if you want to sell it seperate.

the only time im ever on a sidewalk is at a house. out in lots, i park at an angle (not fully sideways) towards the opening of the spot. you can clearly see the bike driving up and down the isle. dont part too far out, or completely sideways as someone might clip you backing out of their spot.

is it your mustang? if so, whats done? i dont have a fast car, nor a fast bike. but my cousin does, and im fantastic at bench racing...

yes, i was excited to win my frist race. i just bought the bike in january (my first bike) and to have people call me out (an EVO 8 with Cams, higher boost, bolt ons etc) i just didnt know how my f4 would do. to the haters

same here. only clutch 1st, or 2nd if im around town or low speeds/revs

what kind of price on about 1"x10" text?

well i was hanging out at the rice meet after work. guy comes up to me the past couple weeks calling me out in his civic. he is swapped and turbo'd at 280whp. he says he had beat a couple 600's and a SRT10 viper from a 40 roll. i dont believe shit that comes out of his mouth so i decide to give him a run. i have a stock F4i so its nothing special. my other buddy lined up as well (357awhp evo 8) from a 40 roll. they took off and i never heard the horn. i play catch up. i passed the civic hatch, and catch the evo around 130. time for round two. 40 roll, this time i was ready. 3rd honk i took off. i put a hurting on them and never worried about them trying to catch up. the next week the evo wanted to run again but from a 60roll where his powerband is more of use. no prob. we lined up again and once again, i pulled away. next up was scott from slowmotion with his 400+ whp civic. we lined up for 60roll and go. i pulled him, but he was breaking up (ignition or boost, i have no idea) so i dont call that race legit. hopefully this weekend his car will be running good. so yeah, my first kills. and im glad to shut up the civic since he thinks hes soo fast.

meh, i might throw a turbo on the 600

pot hole alert! every where in columbus! haha. but seriously, watch out for morse rd eat of hamilton rd (west of reynoldsburg-new albany rd), theres been alot of dirt and gravel thrown out onto the road from construction and very un-even roads as well.

i didnt get to make it out (work) but ive met you before. i bought a turbo off you, a few years back
