They're Flik Artics. 17 x 7

I'm very psyched.

Brakes: I saw Eugene's wheels the other evening. Gleaming in the late afternoon sun. He's got Green-Stuff pads, and my wheels haven't looked that good since it left the lot.

Definately on the Christmas list.

I don't see changing rotors, though. Not until someone proves to me that I need them.

 

I've noticed a lot less fade with my new PS rotors. They seemed to work pretty well on the autox course too, but I only did one this season, so I can't compare it to much.

It seems at higher speeds, the pads n rotors really work well and have better bite than the stock setup. Now I just need to get 'em for the rear.

 

The dash looks great! I just finished my dash as well. I went back and forth on what to do and finally settled on leaving the anthracite alone. I painted my rings and intercooler cover instead.

Here are the end results.

Now I too, am trying to decide what my next mod will be. I think I will go with a CAI and a strut brace.

 

Hmm, you're wheels were cleaner than mine buddy-o. I think I have the dirtiest wheels in the country, shhh....Don't tell Ryephile, he'll slap me in the face when I see him during my thanksgiving break.Oh, wait, I shouldn't have posted this then! OH NO! hmm...Don't worry, I can come up with an infinte amount of jokes about his mom!

 

ha haaa - not dirtier than mine!

I've heard people giving Ryan a hard time about his mom before - must be a Michigan thing...

 

Very cool CyebrOgre. I hadn't thought of just doing the rings. It really makes for a nice contrast though.

Ummm... sorry Adame, but I'm betting Zak's front wheels have got you beat. It was quite a contrast between those and the Hardwick-mobile.

 

Indeed it is a Michigan thing, but, you never stop and ryan takes it less seriously than any of you guys would think. Alot of them work too, hmm.....Adam I think I got you beat, they are far more worse than you can think.

 

Check with Puck on this.

 

We need to have a side by side comparison. It may be close.

You guys! Have you no shame?

 

Ok guys, I finally got my wheels cleaned, unprofessionally. I just took a rag I had and wiped the dust away, although, I could use a FULL car wash treatment for my baby. hopefully before the fall color tour. and then I know she would need one after the tour also, as I will be braking when I'm hitting the apex in the corners. Ok, I need a tally as for who's all going to be at MOA on wednesday. Put you hands up kids!

 

ok, two things.

Adam I was so disappointed that you hadn't seen our cars together. I was at a birthday party for a friend at Christos, and just as I was walking up I saw your car (new it was yours because of the wheels ) so I had to run back and grab Puck and swing around and park behind you. I was just too cool to have two BRG/W with bonnet stripes just parked there on the street.

Oh well. I was mostly anticipating you walking out to your car and going Maybe another time.

Other news: I just got home three minutes ago and found my new wheels waiting for me in the garage. I only took the time to unwrap one of them (this sleep thing must happen) and they're going to look sooooooooooooo

For now, good night all.

 

Your wheels just got in? well you're not going to believe this! Mine are waiting for me at a friends house in Michigan. I'm going to have them put on before I go to the dragon and for when I get back! How do I mpost images here? And yes those are Kumho Ecsta's MX's hehe, terrorizing the dragon on 100 octane sounds great to me! and those wheels are Excel's Radius Hyperblack! Hopefully you guys will be able to see them!

 

New wheels Zak? Very nice... I didn't know they were coming :smile:

 

Yep, Zak has been Detroit Tuned again

 

Beautiful wheels Zak. I just love that hub area, the way it curves in like that.

BTW, I also have Kumho Ecstas on my new wheels. Don't know about the MX part. I'll have to check that.

So I made the idiot mistake of going to a party and drinking coke. 3:30 and I'm still awake.

Tomorrow is going to definitely suck.

OTOH I decided to get out of bed and swap over my wheels, so I'll get to try them out on the way to work. That might just help to wake me up

Pics tomorrow.

 

Here's two things:

Sorry Puck, wasn't me at Christo's. My baby is still wearing its birthday suit - no stripes here. The whole uncleanliness issue must be a BRG thing!

Second - All of you with your new wheels - you suck!! he he - okay, I feel better now....

Okay not, really. It's pretty cool actually. Congrats guys!

 

Well who the heck has a BRG/W Cooper with bonnet stripes and (dirty) 5 star wheels? Plates were something like LMW-XXX.

More importantly, they're probably wondering who in the world Mike/Puck is and why he/they left such a cryptic message on their car.

 

LOL

That's too funny! Now you'll have an easy way to tell if it's mine or not - at the urging of Zak, I added my tow hook up front, so now I fit in!! woohoo!

 

ohh.. good mod.. that tow hook is good for at least a few extra HP

 

I told ya Adam! you get a few extra hp. SO, I'm dying to get my new wheels right now, I'm actually drooling all over the picture to get them here faster. Think That will work? Also, Ryan, How many times have I been detroit tuned?

 

To give you inspiration, Zak:

 

Oh, and they're Kumho Ecsta Supras, whatever that means. Much louder road noise, but my DSC almost never flickers and I've been pushing things harder just to test it.

 

No Hub centric rings? it kinda looks out of place. I mean if you had some chrome on your car I think it would better

 

Actually I was looking at the overall and wondering about chrome mirrors. Think it might work better. If not for the polished rim I think they'd be perfect. Maybe I should paint them

 

<ahem> - I have chrome on my car!
