are the wheels in your signature picture just photoshopped/test fitted?

 

SigPic is a chop done by Seize

But its how I decided to go with Mesh wheels, it was just a matter of WHICH mesh wheels I went with. Took quite awhile to make the final descision.

Finally Meghan said: "you need to just choose cause if you dont do it now, you never will."

Yes dear

 

the LM's in your sig would have been quite expensive...although, you could have gotten the Linea Corse replica's(look the same)
post pics....!

 

I am a former Lexus Owner of course! I had a 1990 ES250, back when it was Cool

3 days before joining the army, it was totalled.

When I got stationed at Fort Drum, I could not find a Lexus, so I bought a Ford ZX-2 so i could have something to drive. that turned into a different love affair . I got that car up to 270 FWHP w/o FI or nitrous...all motor baby.

Then I got my Wife's Matrix, that was a mistake...

And now we are in a Honda! Hope to be back to being a Lexus owner again really soon though!

I cant think of anything else offhand, but I am sure there was more. LOL, I spent more time on that little car than I should have. But for 272FWHP/256FWTQ, I was not complaining Altogether, without labor (I did everything myself) I put probably $5-10k in parts on/in it. Best time in 1/4 was 12.20 @ 111.8 mph, but I could not even begin to tell you where the time slip is, this was 2006. That time was on slicks/COMPLETELY gutted interior (left the dash/airbags, the drivers seat, and the center console. everything else was OUT, including fender well liners ), Race fuel, CF hood, ~58 degree day. In Daily Driveable form on HO Pump gas, she was good for a high 12/low 13 consistenly. Car was 2250lbs empty, ~2500 with me in it. The most expensive part of that whole build was the transmission, which I had built because I got a kickass deal. My Trans was dead, so I shipped my old one to Haines Motorsports, and they shipped me a built one in return+cash on my end. Love it.

I sold the car to my brother for $6,700, and it is still running around Grand Island Nebraska somewhere LOL.

 

Costco's having a $70 off a set of 4 Bridgestone tires promo going on, I suggest the Potenza RE960AS Pole Position - they're sporty for the summer yet confident enough for the rain.

 

Yeah, no costco in NY though, when I get to WA, I will be a member.
