Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

Me, personally, Im done messing with head lights, once opening them up, is more than enough.

I trust the guys at Daedalus. Should be ok. They did a very nice job the last time around.

eastwest2300 · 04-02-2013, 04:02 PM

Good luck with that.

eastwest2300 · 04-02-2013, 04:03 PM

They do very very nice work, i've seen pictures of their work.

how much were your halos? I kind of want to halo my headlights.

dmhenderson · 04-02-2013, 05:13 PM

the halos themselves? They're cheap. Like $60 I think.

This was kind of a cool email exchange. I'm such a goddamn fanboy:

Glad you did not ask why the team needed them…They tested the tire barrier (ouch)
Thanks for your understanding.

I'm happy to take a back seat to actual race teams. Please let me know.

Thanks a million!

We currently have sold all our inventory to the three teams running the 370Z in Grand Am racing and World Challenge. I am trying to source additional supply but cannot estimate a delivery date at this time.
I marked the email for follow up so as I start to get supply we will be in contact.

Dude, you wanna chance it, and open them up again...

There is an 08 135i with under 40k miles for sale near me....I may single turbo that. The stock motor is good for 700hp. Only things I'll need to change I already have for the Z project. Also the 135i will actually cut my payments in half as well in terms of loanage

Will the payments be cut in half because the cost is less, or because you're financing over five years again? Keep in mind, if that's the deciding factor, you can refinance an auto loan.

dmhenderson · 04-02-2013, 10:56 PM

All that work you put into boosting the Z? Man I was looking forward to seeing it.

Don't ever refinance an auto loan unless you somehow got a bum deal up-front. You'll end up owing more in the long run 99.999% of the time.

I have done it a grand total of once and that was because I was supposed to move to Germany and my lender wouldn't let me take the car overseas so I had to switch to USAA (who would). I still took a horrendous beating and the company I worked for paid the difference.
