Ohhhh I wish I hadn't looked at that video cause now I want one too! Might not be a fun when you don't have any local competition. Unless I can convince some parents in my apt building to get em for their kids it'll just be me in the parking lot whipping the mini drifter around. Not sure if thats more or less creepy than a grown man trying to pool a group of 10 yr olds to hang with

haha, good point.

I have an Hpi Sprint drift Rc. Use it at meets and whatnot :D

I know this is a shot in the dark, but here goes nothing. Does anyone happen to know any place that sells big vinyl banners (5ft long) for the company HKS? A friend has one in his garage, but it's pretty old and is starting to break apart at the ends. He wants a legit one though, not some crappy knock-off, a well made knock-off one might work though.

Shoot me a pm if interested. I can hook up your friend

Less than a month and I go back to texas, what what?

Uh oh.... Mothers, lock up your livestock :boink:

BBBbbaaaaaa! means no... or harder... cant remember. I guess I'll have to play it by ear.

and I thought Moppie was the sick one :screwy:

Moppie at least has the courtesy to gain consent before he defiles farm animals. TSC goes by the mantre of "its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission"

rofl.

epic fail on my part, xB is gone as of Feburary 2012, now rolling around in a 2012 Hyundai Sonata Turbo. So not used to having a car with power lol :D ***goes to see if anybody posts in Hyundai Section*** ;D

A buddy of mine just got a genesis, pretty sweet ride, suprisingly.


On a side note, since everyone is posting up pictures... my ride is missing wheels :(

My friend recently bought a Sonata (non-turbo) and it was pretty nice inside. From what I could judge during the 15 second ride from his parking spot to mine, the NA Sonata had some decent "oomph"

If its picture time, I'll show you guys my diy projects from this wknd.... that is if I remember to do it later

Adrian - not really. It's there but more dead then here haha.

Stupid curbs.

:eek7:

Am I missing something here? Or do I do this too often to see it?

Am I the only one who posts regularly from their phone and has had trouble in the last week or so??

Lately my Android browser hits quicksand when I try to make a quick post and it doesnt happen like that on the other forum I post on (my interweb side-boo..... AF will always be my main squeeze!)

I use tapatalk. Been fine for me

I might as well be a caveman with the way I keep up with technology.... what is tapatalk?

*crosses fingers for morning android post*

It's an app that basically turns a forum into something that is easy to read and use on a phone

how many times do i need to post the mobile link to this place? :banghead: i'm gonna make you search for it! :evillol:

we will just forget it again lady :D

Buy the mobile version of this site doesn't help with the other forums I frequent

don't have to buy this site's mobile version & i don't go to other forums :flipa:

Why is it not 5:30 yet?!!?!

More importantly....why is it not 8pm?

Because then I would have been off work for 2.5 hours and missed 2.5 hours of my TSC alone time.

i finally have 2 days off in a row :screwy: just means I'll be busy on the house

As long as you don't do whatever ungodly things go down during "TSC alone time"

I get to work from home today as I wait for some new (used) wheels to deliver...... spending money I dont have for stuff I don't need :bananasmi:

its the best way to spend that kind of money :icon16:

love these, they make me smile \m/

I wonder if I'm the guy that pisses Swigz off at the light with my music blasting from the car...... although my bass is the only aspect thats above "normal".

If loud music with windows down is a Summer Driving Foul (as it deserves to be) then blasting sh!t bag music with all treble should be a triple foul!

Side note: Does $175/wheel sound right for powder coating?? Thats the approx quote I got for this place in my area.... the only place in my area.

Not sure if I need to investigate for a place farther away with a better rate. However, I would much rather pay to have it done right than to get the el cheapo job and have it peel in a couple months.

Shouldn't ever have to worry about powder coating peeling. At most it would dent easy or flake. Same was with normal paint, prep work makes a big difference, just proper cleaning, no sanding or anything required, but the biggest step with powder coating is baking. Bake it for too short a time and its still soft, too long and its brittle. My advice is pick a place that does wheels more than a powder coater that does more factory type stuff, as they will have a better understanding on bake time and temp.

I worked at a powder coating place for a little while. We did a lot of stuff for a local factory that made electric motors, a lot of covers and junction boxes, and we did like hospital bed frames. Anytime we ran something new, it was trail and error with the oven. Had to run one through and test it and go from there.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like this place is pretty legit and has a focus on wheels for sure. The picture gallery looks good and they got good reviews on Yelp too, so they seem like a safe bet.

Wheel Tech Powder Coating Gallery (http://www.rimrepaircenter.com/photo-galleries/powder-coating/)

Got my first ticket, since I was 19, on Thursday. I was driving my grandmother's Buick on the highway, when they pulled me over. A few State Trooper cars around here have license plate scanners, and I had the cruise control on, so I knew it wasn't for speeding. They said their computer says the license plates have been suspended, because of a lapse in insurance. They even gave me a printout from their computer, which states that lapse occurred a year ago. Of course this being a grandmother's car, there is a bunch of random stuff in the glove compartment and center console, some of which are empty ziplock bags or ziplock bags filled with rain ponchos/hair covers. They of course found those worthy of looking at up close :D And, of course there was no up-to-date insurance card or registration card in the car, which probably would have sent me on my way quickly. The insurance company claims to have no record of any lapse in coverage, so they're contacting the DMV, to find out who's fault it is.

They didn't seem to have anything productive to do that day, other than to try to give out as many tickets as possible. Before they were even finished talking with me (saying they could have towed the car and cuffed me, etc), one pointed to a passing car for the other to see, and they sped off to pull that person over. I was just talking to my friends the day before about how I drive like a an old lady, and have only had 1 ticket, where they've all had a dozen or dozens. Damn, I remember the good 'ol days, where if you didn't drive like an asshole, you got left alone.

a buddy of mine just got his wheel powdercoated locally for around 400 for all.

Too early...need more coffee!

Mannnn..... Im gonna chalk that up to supply and demand. Im sure there are at least 5 aftermarket auto shops in CA for every 1 in the Chicago area. In hindsight it probably would have been a better idea to have the guy I bought them from get the PC done for cheap in CA before shipping them to me. Oh well.... my pocket says I will have them remailn silver for at least a month longer



In other news, I threw my hip out of alignment (again) and will probably have to stay home from work tomorrow..... so I'll have all day to whore it up!!! :bananasmi

you say i'm old!!! don't you whore it up every day?

youre not old...... but i do believe you are exposed to the most deadly new strains of disease that any elementary school classroom has ever seen! If we were dwarves, you would be Sickly, I would be Gimpy, TSC... Creepy, BLU......... Porny

Ive spent the last couple days working out a list of member-dwarf equivalencies. The rest of the 12,000 name list will be released in individual threads until its completion or my deportation to Banlandia, whichever comes first.

sickly works for me....hi hos'!!! :wave:

I do like that the android market remembers all my downloads and automatically redownloads them on my new phone (warrenty replacment for my droid 4). However I wish it didnt try to download them ALL at one time lol. I've got like 45 downloads going- think god for 4g.

I've had a phone with this magical 4G on it for about two years now and have probably flipped the 4G switch less than 10 times. It doesn't seem to improve performance much IMO.... at least not on my sh!tty Evo

right on the nose I would say :P

So as you may have heard, the NATO Summit is in Chicago starting this weekend, so we have protestors that came to do whatever it is they do. I expected the transit issues, road closures etc.... I did NOT expect to hear that they were flinging poo (not Winnie the) at people walking out of the Board of Trade building. The terrorists are winning....
