4" piping, but a 5 in tip it looks like. haha. (granted I have a Carbon Ti that I think was a 5 in tip. My G200 may have been also. Lol)

84 hours.

Bad Company 2 was the last hurrah for that series for me.

I'm planning to get GTA5 whenever it comes out on PC. I read that there might be extra features that are only limited to the PC version. BF3 was okay. I've played it for less than 20 hours compared to playing CS series. That I have thousands of hours.

9 weeks and counting (and will be even longer considering it'll be a week once I get a shipping confirmation) for my RevWorks headers. I hate to complain, but this is getting ridiculous. I ordered them early, hoping to get them in time for my birthday, which was last month. I know it's gonna be a quality piece and they were blindsided by all the demand, but I just need somewhere to vent. I think the lack of updates or any idea of how much longer I will have to wait is the worst part.

In other news, Happy Friday! Looking forward to the Concours D'Elegance in Danville this weekend. If anyone is up for a drive beforehand, I will be in the East Bay!

Sorry it's taking so long, but it shouldn't be too much longer at least!

I want to hear it with the header installed and the track pipe/muffler delete.

I hear ya'. On the wait list for something too and their FS thread is like on 50th page. Look on the bright side, NorCal has something local that has like 5 threads talking about it haha. Oh, btw, will you need ramps for that install? Ya know I got ramps right here

Bumped Sunday's event. See ya there. I'll be parking at the plaza just before Harts Way.

I want to hear it with the muffler delete too! I know it will be super loud but it will sound great. I was hoping to have it in time for Thunderhill next week so I could actually run it with the muffler delete and headers, but that definitely won't be happening now. And I won't be able to run it with the delete at MRLS in November, so I guess I'll just have to schedule another day at Thunderhill... darn (reminds me, you should come out to one of these, NCRC does a driving school for the same price as the regular groups)

Oh yeah, what are you on the wait list for?

Thanks for the offer, but I have ramps as well, and I bought some extra tools just to help with the install... about a month and a half ago haha.

Looking forward to Sunday! Hopefully see you there, I wonder how busy it will be.

Wheels.

I may have found a shop in Livermore (near LPI) that may be willing to work with us on using his lift/tools. Working on details and prices and definitely open to wrench days and those DIY'ers.

Well you won't see me posting up wheels in the OT thread anymore, because I finally ordered some! Enkei Kojins in 17x9 +45 (5mm spacer for fronts) with 245/40 Toyo T1 Sport tires. Anyone looking for Enkeis should contact Rishie at AutoRND in Fremont - they are really looking out for us 86 DRIVE members with some great deals.

[B2FiNiTY]

clean wheels, get some coilovers to go with them.

[Clipdat]

Thanks! I already have RCE Yellow lowering springs that will be going on.

Sweet! I don't know if you say congrats in these situations, but I feel like it's an accomplishment haha. You've been posting about wheels for awhile now, I feel like it's a big feat to decide on one and order them. We'll have to do another install day so you can get the springs and wheels on. Did you order some lugs to go with them?

[Clipdat]

Yeah I know, I have been looking at/dreaming about wheels forever, so it's nice to finally have some ordered.

Rishie actually gave me a sweet package deal that includes mounting & balancing and an alignment. So I'll actually be taking care of everything when I take my car in to AutoRnD. Haven't decided if I want to get aftermarket lugs or re-use the oem lugs.

[B2FiNiTY]

Get some nice colored aftermarket lugs if you ask me.
