Hey Aaron thanks for showing some of your car info. What PSI was the Vortech kit running on this comparison? Just curious. Looks good, hope to see more of them.

Awesome! The car looks great. Once I get around to installing my coilovers and the springs settle I'm going there to do the same. Rear lca's and a fender roll/alignment.

Texas track works is great took my dads s2000 there for him and they really care about their customers. Wouldn't go anywhere else in the dfw area.

I can't speak highly enough of these HVT Electronically Valved Coilovers. They are incredible. It blows anything else available on the market out of the water. Check out the shock dyno.

Yuuuuuppp...I knew I should have stayed home. My better instincts told me people would suck at driving and I was right.

Huge crack in the bumper and possible suspension damage. The rear end wont drive straight anymore...

NO

I have class at 2 today, talked one of the guys that sit next to me to pick me up on his way to class. Parking the FR-S today. Rather not deal with retards on the road; if people don't have enough sense to not ride my ass on uphills, I doubt they have suitable skills to drive in a little bit of snow.

nlamon33 · 02-06-2014, 01:26 PM

@Ramster Dude so sorry that happened.

had an audi slide into an intersection right in front of me cause she didn't brake soon enough. Luckily I was going slow enough to avoid her. Careful out there guys!

I always fear some will rear end me. And I despise headlights that aim to high.

Sorry to here you got hit.

I thankfully got to go home from work early, but still had to deal with stupid people and was hoping the whole way home no one would hit me. Hope you don't have too much damage!

texbrit · 02-06-2014, 01:36 PM

I made it into work OK as I was on the road at 7:30 am. Guess I will see how the drive home will be at 4pm. I go the Tollway so hopefully better than the regular highways.

Joeprelude · 02-06-2014, 02:06 PM

eh, I got to work at 530 and leave at 2. Luckily live directly across the street.

Ramster · 02-06-2014, 02:08 PM

Yeah problem is people are still driving so damn close and are in a rush to get places. Like, come on guys. And some people still think hard braking is going to work. HA!

It is nasty out there. I had to turn off traction control to get up the hill and out of my parking lot for lunch.
