My other computer that I had flashed for my N/A mods is in Socal getting a blower flash and then Im driving down next weekend to dyno tune and adjust the SS box. See if I...

    Paxton Installed

    I actually laughed when I read this becaus ILLSMOQ always makes fun of my engine bay. Its actually a little dirty. Where his is spotless. I think its my new Sony camera, it really brings out the colors and depth. But I do wipe the engine down weekly.

    Paxton Installed

    Well I finally have the pleasure of driving a Paxton Viper. I want to first publicly thank my best friend Kurtis (ILLSMOQ) for doing the install. He did such a nice job on his own install, I knew he had to install mine. It took awhile,but was well worth the wait. I pressured him daily, but...

    Installing a Quaife?

    I was going off memory, guess it didnt serve me well. Plus the last tires I had were PS2's and I assumed they were same as stock Pilots. But the PS2's come in at 27.2" , so there is still a big difference in the rear tire I have now. I had to raise it back up a 1/2" in rear to keep from rubbing...

    Adjusted my headlights, WOW, what a difference

    Cool, Im not the only one. I had even heard only the dealer could do it. Well at least we all know now, its only a 2 minute job.

    Adjusted my headlights, WOW, what a difference

    I had searched and never relayy found anything on headlight adjusting, maybe Im an idiot and didnt find anything. Anyways, last night I adjusted them and I can see. I was never happy with lighting and then when I lowered car with Motons it got even worse. The headlights seem to only aimout about...

    How much is a set of '06 polished wheels worth?

    Ok, well those are the original "10 spoke", and not worth much. Like mentioned above, you are more in the area of 1500-2000 if your lucky for those. They are very common and not that sought after.

    Installing a Quaife?

    I thought about it, but I have the 335/30/20 PS2 out back and it is a 28" tall tire. So its a hair over a inch bigger circumference then stock rear sizing. So my gearing is even worse off. I didnt want to go all the way to a 3:55, so I think a 3:33 is a perfect choice for my tire size. All ready...

    How much is a set of '06 polished wheels worth?

    I didnt know the 06 Coupe came with the 10 spokes, I though they all had the 5 spokes or H-Wheels. I guess the H spoke could be 10 spokes, I cant picture it in my head right now. Anyways, I bet you could get $3k give or take for the wheels/tires.

    Installing a Quaife?

    Maybe for a few days, Ill be the King, but Kurtis wont have that. He is already toying the idea of messing with his Split Second. It could end up like his Jeep when he added Nitrous. BOOM!!!!! :lmao: Actually I dont care who's faster, even when you finally get your Paxton. I just know we wont...

    Tire Pressure

    What does that have to do with street driving, tires dont get to near the temps on street as they do on track. Track tires are usually monitored hot and cold, whereas street driving you usally find a cold setting and stick with it.

    Tire Pressure

    How sad, it brought a tear to my eye just thinking about your poor Viper never spinning those tires. You may have a record, 21k miles on rears is alot. I think I had 6-7k on my runflats before taking them off for PS2's. Id have been lucky to even get 10k miles out of them. 29 Psi seems right...

    Why would you go with a 19X10.5 inch rim?

    lol I looked at that site for weeks. When I found a wheel I liked, I looked at other cars like Vettes too with the same wheel. I almost went with forgelines, then HRE 6 spoke, then to were I am now. Its tough trying to settle. Theres alot of nice wheels out there.

    Engine "woke up" after 3600 miles

    Its possible for it to break in and come alive. But also sometimes we forget how cold it is and your out one day and the cooler air makes the car run a little stronger and the cooler temps make the tires spin easier. Just a thought.

    Why would you go with a 19X10.5 inch rim?

    19" | 20" FS Astra Brushed Aluminum Hers that link with 19x10.5 and 285's and 20x13, 345 rear. Nitto tire.

    Why would you go with a 19X10.5 inch rim?

    Honestly, Alot of guys started running the Nitto invo, it was the new tire. It doesnt come in a 275, only a 285. I thought i be running that tire, so the 10.5 would be perfect. Plus i figured that added width would help handling in the hills, and just give a overall better look. If you go...

    Why would you go with a 19X10.5 inch rim?

    Stretched meaning it doesnt come out all the way to the edge of rim squared up. So If you look at ILLSMOQ's 275 Pirelli on his 10" rim, it looks much like stock, the tire comes all the way to edge of rim, wheras my 275 Michelin on my 10.5' rim looks stretched. You can actually see more of the...
