It really is kind of ridiculous.

Back when I had my first Yaris, we would do install meets at parking lots! lol. We lowered a Yaris at an In-N-Out parking lot at midnight before.

I'm down for Mod/installation meet, except I'm useless, ask 1000x questions, and probably lose the 10mm's quicker than Jeremy Clarkson reaches for a hammer.

Just put on some CarPro DLUX on my new wheels, let's hope I did it right. Did a huge test patch on the back of the wheel face to see if I can improve my technique.

Oooh, curious how this hold up to brake dust etc. I just put some sealant on my wheels but its just wax and don't think it'll last past a couple of washes...

That's why I bought it lol, it should be Quartz > Sealant > Carnauba wax. Wax should be the least effective due to slightly higher heat (tires and brakes).

Let me know how the Quartz & sealant works out. Was planning on doing this to my next set of wheels so I won't have as big of a headache cleaning them.

I have a slow (but getting faster) leak in one of my tires. Pretty annoying lol

I have one spare stock tire sitting in my garage if you want it. I doubt you'd want to go all the way to Sac tho.

What's causing the leak?

spike021 · 06-07-2017, 08:15 PM

Anyone have ideas of somewhere I could get some cool posters or just poster size photos of the twins?

I'm moving desks at work, and mine has this boring gray board thing attached to the back. Apparently it can be pinned and stuff. So I'm probably going to try sticking some SF Giants and twins stuff on it. Or cars in general.
