Doesn't scion have free oil changes for 2 years? Are am I thinking of someone else. I think every 7500 miles?

Enigmus · 08-04-2012, 11:52 AM

I really like that exhaust, love Supreme...they did my tC, and my 240 (I usually don't let anyone touch the 240, haha). I might have to get in contact with them. $450 isn't too bad considering catbacks are going for like $1k

-max- · 08-04-2012, 01:50 PM

Its pretty ridiculous what companies are charging for exhaust on this car. Its pipe! Wtf!

Enigmus · 08-04-2012, 02:37 PM

imho it's ok to have local shops do the catback. Everything ahead of it, where most the gains are, would be best paying the premiums from the performance shops.

We should totally all meet at Nola Motor on Monday for $15 karting, because Monday = August 6th (8/6), would make for a cool reason to take photos

-max- · 08-04-2012, 08:51 PM

I could make it after work, like 6, if anyone wants to go.

I tried, but I incurred rain delays. I got the front finished; I'll tackle the rears tomorrow. Obviously no autocross for me tomorrow. Adding to my non-negotiables lists when shopping for a house: room in garage for a two-post lift. I grabbed a 10'x10' canopy, and that let work through the lighter rain, but if I'd gotten started earlier and it hadn't rained it could have been finished today. Best laid plans, eh?

No lift, but I have a detached 2 car with a big ass air conditioner to myself!

Mitch · 08-04-2012, 11:45 PM

Lucky bastid. The one-car garage at the house I'm renting isn't even big enough or lit properly to do this job so I was outside melting. Canopy really helps with shade and shelter though! And it makes having your on jack stands look classy.

We built, so I had control over what we got. Not really detached, it goes house, carport, garage, all under one roof. Carport for the wife and garage for me. Also had to have a bathroom.

Get them done Mitch?
I'm down to 3/2 on compression and 2/1 rebound fr/rr for daily driving and the ride is pretty awesome.
