GTA meet coming soon?

Sorry Shiny I agree with Ire. Hate to see cars lowered and have the tire tip in look. If you cannot lower it and keep it aligned don't do it. Anybody can add airbags it takes a real man to drive lowered all the time.

ShinyBlueZ · 10-05-2012, 11:29 AM

hahaha I was being totally sarcastic dude
that thing looks ridiculous and ghetto fabolous

side story:

last week I pulled into a parking lot beside a riced out older black VW Golf (with some rust & hazy white spots on the paint & all)

the guy looks at my car for like 30 seconds.. then I hear him keep revving his fart-can exhaust to get my attention (I was in my car texting)
he finally sees me look over.. so he flips a switch on his Golf and it lowers about 8 inches and it's literally touching the ground. he nods at me, then shuts his car off.

at this point I felt such shame and embarrassment of my Z, which had no tricks of her own to retaliate

I think he is testing the ride-height to make sure his 'beat-up' is ready for the snow-shoveling duty this Winter....

Turn off traction control and roast some hides.

ShinyBlueZ · 10-05-2012, 10:50 PM

you guys are azzholes! you need to wait for people to 'turn their backs' before you talk about how lame LED light strips are!

lol I'm not part of the majority then.. cuz oddly I'm not a big fan of the new sport rims.. I like OUR sport rims

however I remember really liking the new 'base' rims

LMBmikeZ · 10-06-2012, 07:21 PM

with you Ire on the rims the gun metal does look better IMO. My biggest dislike though in the '13s is the none painted fangs takes away from the aggressive look it originally had. I have been able to see one in town here and it just doesn't look quite right.

GaleForce · 10-06-2012, 11:18 PM

So, who wants practically new Berk HFC and Stillen Gen 3 intakes? I'm selling mine.

Cold air intake? Yes the stillen gen 3 intake is a CAI. Arguably the best intake for our cars.

yeh i just wanted to be sure. im on this facebook group but its mostly Gs and they go on and on about short rams which in my opinion is retarded. its cheaper, but its also useless ....

edit: i JUST got a $300 ticket for accidentally running a red light at the T intersection in bumper to bumper traffic cuz there was a TTC bus ahead of me and being low and close (and construction all round), i couldn't see the light till i was halfway into the intersection. didn't help that on both sides of me were trucks. Cop was right behind me. Oh well i guess no Berks for me

FFUUUUUUU

Oh man... sorry to hear about the ticket..!!

$300...?? is that a normal fine for red-light?? Take it to the court at least you will have it deduct half...

As for the CAI, short ram is good too, I am using K&N, I do feel the differences 3500rpm and up....

Ouch! That's sucks bad. I hate spending money on tickets

GaleForce · 10-07-2012, 02:32 PM

The biggest down side to short rams is the heat picked up from the engine bay. Other than that they're ok.

alcheng · 10-07-2012, 02:37 PM

That's what the heat shields for, and it seals pretty good.

I don't like the CAI cause every time you have to take off the bumper and mod some parts... yes I am lazy...

I buy my parts for best overall performance improvements first, everything else second.
