Its ok to poison the earth as long as their pockets are full kind of thing.

As long as it is free, go for it. But I'm wondering as to why it would be so short in your country. Maybe because of the climate?

You have a good point about the roses and perfume.

I reckon chocolate and nylons don't work anymore .....

I aint talking to any dealer about their policies man, im like a robot when it comes to warranty issues, I have a 5 year unlimted and I dont plan on risking any void in any way whether its a mod or a scheduled service.

My mistress comes with a nag free 5 years and unlimited rides during that period so ill take care of her.

& just out of curiosity, why do you not need caps to prevent your studs from rusting? Do you have some kind of special studs on your car too? lol

I didn't read the whole thread but these sound like Project Kics lugs. Mine were the same price. Came with locks and the neo chrome finish. The lugs have an attached washer on the seat face so they don't scratch your rims and are made of chromoly which is lighter, stronger, and more expensive than steel. Theres the extra cost.

I do not run use these lug nuts during winter, so road salt will not rust the studs.

I dont know why they are so expensive, but I know that they are made of steel and weight only 40g.

Let me know if you are interested.

As far as the climate, it gets hotter, for a longer period of time, in Yuma, AZ than Abu Dhab ...........

Brings to mind the old story about the fellow who drove his car into work in NYC.

He would pull into the lub place in the morning and ask for a oil change and tell them he would pick up his car later that afternoon. After 5 straight days of doing this, the manager told him he didn't need to have the oil changed every day.

The man replied, yep, I know ...... but you charge $15.00 for an oil change and it would cost me $75.00 to park all day in the parking garage ......

Maybe he will get a volume discount and it'll end up being cheaper later on. Think of it as an investment

Clean, clay, and wax the front end

Installed a Borla UEL and tuned it with the OFT stage 2 UEL OTS tune. I thought I could get away with reusing the old gaskets but I was wrong. Ordering some new ones and spending another couple hours fixing my gamble.

On a side note, I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the welding on that thing. It is piss poor. I showed it to a buddy (professional welder) and after he stopped laughing he asked if it actually came that way or if I had tried to fix it myself (I am not a welder).

There is a reason why it is so cheap

Anyone know if any 2.5'' gasket will work? (It's leaking from the header to overpipe gasket.)
