FINE MARIN, I'll spend the next two saving portions of my paychecks on headphones and car parts. It's your fault.

Trying to decide what tires I want when I get my rims. Either I get the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 (255/40ZR17) or Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS (255/40RF17). I'm leaning more on the Michelin but what do you guys think?

@Cycotech, why get all seasons? They're more expensive & not needed in most of AZ. We can run summer tires year round here.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

He decided on parts, and did the bullying to him self! I'm just referencing a comment from one of wed meets a few months back where he said he wasn't going to modify his car.

In case I go somewhere else. Since I'm from Colorado and if I go in the winter time then I might need those tires.

Yeeeaaaaaaa, I said that too. Now I am looking at an exhaust, tuning license, and a Nelsmar special on the clearing things up for a smoother run after. haha. It's just going to take me awhile to save the funds.

Just wait until you hear a different set of headers. Then you're screwed.

But that's also the cost of a new OP/FP combo...
I bet those HiFiMan cans will be awesome! They have great specs and get rave reviews, I just don't have personal experience with them.

If that's the range you're looking for and want to test drive some different ones, see if you can find a place to give them a listen as well as the AKG 702 or 712 and also the Grado Reference RS2 (wooden headphones FTW!) or PS500.

I can't help but go nuts on headphones and get excited when someone else gets into them too.

Of course that was quite a long time ago, perhaps they've improved in the past 10 years.

I rarely use headphones so I have no clue. I have a pair that came with my iPod and a pair of $50 Sony over ear. Mostly, they just gather dust.

oh, I have. I can't get enough of the UEL rumble. But that's going to take time. I am still working on setting up a catback / resonator back type system. Something to "get me started". I have been doing a LOT of research on it, and posted generically in the Southwest area. @Cross added to the information with more updated points. In short, I'm screwed. haha

I might just buy a system because it's cheaper at this point but I want zero rasp. Unfortunately, I don't have much funding and tint has to come first (hopefully before summer)

anyone wanna knock over gotham bank? This penguin could use some more money.

I have no clue I have a set I bought from Wal-Mart and the ones that come with my phone's. Oh and the pairs I get from the airlines. I do believe the airline ones are cheap otherwise I'm fine with the others they work when I use them.

@brenesk91 - I think this is how I got both doors to unlock when I unlock the driver's side. Had to do it twice because for some reason some of my settings went back to stock when I first did the OFT tune.

For the limited: Open the driver door with the car off, hold down the lock and panic buttons on the key fob for approx 5 seconds. When you let go the car should beep. Now both doors will unlock when you touch the door handle. Not sure if that works with the premium.
