Dexter mentioned doing a clear bra on one of the IGT's exec's new SLS. Nice to know the guys at the top are still able to afford new supercars while the rest of us are dodging layoffs! :unamused:

I'm currently talking with the guys over at Sierra Invisible Shield about some sort of club deal. I'm out of town this coming week, but I should be over there to check them out next Friday.

Bump. I've like to get some space in the garage before it starts snowing.

SVX wheels are dirt cheap at $50... hell, the snow tires on 'em are worth that much!

Nearly new Ziex 912's at $250 are...

I've got STi BBS's on my SVX for winter tires. Am I a baller?

The good news is, I've got a cheap car wrapped around them to protect them from the elements.

It's not just a matter of torque, the gearing advantage isn't going to make a huge improvement in torque at the wheels... it's more a matter of moving the powerband of the motor in relation to the...

:lol: If Vettel and/or Red Bull won't even swap their 1-2 finishing order, there's no way Vettel would stoop to intentionally shunting Alonso! But god damn that would be entertaining. :lol:

Alonso's got a nearly-new motor for the race due to that weird as hell loophole rule that allows a previous engine to be used for the last race without penalty. I doubt he'll blow a motor.

If you change your mind, I'm happy to fab a legal exhaust for it... probably wouldn't cost much for parts.

Plus, if that GL isn't driveable, it's not worth $700. That's a $300 car... which is...

I HATE HATE HATE that Alonso it going to win the title because Red Bull doesn't mind throwing away Webber's one and only chance at a title.

Vettel will probably win 2 or 3 championships in his...

Is sounds like they have too much business. That's the sort of price you'd expect to pay if the car was sideswiped and needed repair... not just a prep and repaint. WTF?

I've got red on red with my SVX and it just blends into the paint too much. Maybe on the STi it's not such an aesthetic problem, but on the SVX the rear-end is pretty dependent on having that long...

Bleah... just leave them clear. Red is the only color the clear lights look decent on. On everything else, I'd go with the red wrap.

"Smoking" the lenses is dumb IMO, if only because when some...

I recognize them 'cause I've got a 3 year old set on my WRX still. :lol: Also, those are the OEM tires for the GT3 Porsches... I would expect them to be popular with the track going Porsche crowd.

Also... those tires look like Pilot Sport Cups... which are R-comps.

The question then is... what do they do when they kill that set of tires at a...

I'd rather have the tires up on the roof rather than swinging around hanging off the ass of the car as well, just from a handling perspective.

Is the turbo too big to use the factory bracket that bolts it to the head? That should be plenty to prevent vibration, IMO.
