i know, i had wheels but i sold them lol wish i still had them

Plus I've had the hardest time trying to find a set of wheels that are nice and aren't over played with my car.

sean3 · 12-11-2010, 03:51 PM

Being unique is over rated. Just get some Rota Grids.

Did you ever fix the whole hose blowing off thing or whatever you had to keep tightening the other week?

Not to sure. I'm thinking about either T-37s or something...rota torques are nice but I'm not a big rota fan.

856jersey · 12-11-2010, 11:22 PM

Just installed a A'pexi turbo timer today....hooked it up to ecu and what not...what a pain in the balls that was...will have pics up soon of my interior...

I HATED the bugeye when it first came out but I have to admit that now that it has been a few years I really like them.
