Well I'm not ballin, I pay for my own ****, I paid that much for some wheels because I wanted them ever since I opened a Super Street or Import Tuner when I was 16. Just figured I'd finally get something I wanted.....

 

i understand man, im not trying to hate on people who rock real rims, i know there is this fat *** debate between real vs. fake rims and blah blah blah, honestly if you like someone, get it, who gives a **** if its real or fake

 

yeah i would take jmags over gt3's anyday

 

People should buy what they can afford, i'm not trying to get you to buy anything at all. I was just saying that there are options out there that are just as much or sometimes even less then a set of replicas.

 

this colour

has anyone seen the roads in ireland??pothole land ha
i had a set of regemaster evos and i broke two of them by a pothole so im not forkin out on real rims...not worth it especially when iv boost to save for lol

 

honestly, if you can show me some nice rims in decent specs for the same price as knock offs, of course ill buy them, who wouldnt

 

I have a friend selling his m7's with a 4x114 conversion for $1000 obo. I was honestly thinking about buying it but i need to buy the materials so i can repaint my car.

 

one of the reasons i wanted to buy real rims was so i could get rims in the exact size that i wanted, 15x8.5 +10

 

well brand new 15 "rota jmags with new 195 50 15 toyo proxes t1rs in ireland work out at 900 in dollars...

 

thats alot for rotas, i got brand new drag dr20 15" x 7" +10 with 195/50-15's for 650$

 

My cousin got the same deal Duma, but got 205-50-15 Azenis and Drag dr-20's 15x7 +10 for $650, sold them a month later for $500. lol.


Ls Mesh ftw!

 

thats cheap over here man...the euro is *****..everythings a rip off

 

I personally really like the XXR line of wheels. I would rock some Rotas though, I'm not that picky.

 

I like my wheels alot...I only paid $400 with tires in awesome shape(used of course)...

Matt or anyone ever have to trim the jdp lip? mine hits the bottom of my intercooler..its seems like if I would trim it about a 1/2 in right where the ic it will fit fine..Im just wondering how that material acts if I would use a dye grinder.. anyone?

 

geesh jj, you and that damn intercooler of yours!! lol

 

yo rockin' the drags mang, I don't care. Im broke as hell right now, plus I'd rather build my motor next month. this snow is really bothering me, my damn civic looks like a damn salt mine! Gotta clean it off, damn I wish I lived in Cali or Florida, maybe Texas, but it gets too damn hot there.......

 

i have a 92 DA9 teg. its overheating...

ok, thi time last year i bought this black one that had a bad leaking head gasket, i didnt know it had a bad gasket, i drove it for a while and one day the engine just completely seized up,, took it to a local shop and paid $1500 for a replacement engine w 45000 miles, just 3 months ago a had the enginw swapped out into a new unwrecked-undamaged body, this engine never ever overheated, k just 3 months ago a take both cars to a different shop right down the street from my house and had the engine and auto tranny swapped....for over $1000 with new timingbelt, tensioner, thermostat water pump, every thing installed parts i bought and supplied. exaclty 28 days later it starts overheating and the car was checked 30 times, untill i checked the timing belt myself cuz the guy was too lazy to check it and the belt was scrapped off on one edge, then showed the tech that and they checked it again, the tenstioner failed,,, just got it back again after paying $60 for another new timing belt and tensioner, and another $250 for labor, just got it back yesterday afternoon and still over heats,,, can i sue this shop....they f**cked up my engine...

 

Holy paragraph batman!
Hmm that's a tough situation, what kind of shop is this?
Go talk to them, tell them your problem and try to talk it out. If they don't compromise tell them you are going to be seeking legal action....

also due to the issues with your timing belt, maybe the water pump is dead?

 

No Matt that is 2 big *** sentences!

 

Happy Christmas eve erryone!

 

Hope everyone has the time to enjoy their families and relax!
After today I have 10 days off : ) !
So thankful that I can do that!

 

when they did the swap, and installed the belts, new radiator hoses,thermostat ,new temp sensors, and timing tensioner i also had a new water pump, you think the new pump may have failed.....

yeah the hoses dont biuld up much pressure,at least i dont think as much as it should be, when it over heats, it will go up 3/4ths of the way and if i rev it up it goes down, sometimes, the fans run, new radiator as well, did not have any over heating problem before the swap. i had the engines swapped cuz the frame the newer engine was in was wrecked and i had a better body i only paid $500 for that was in great condition.... iv tried every thing i can think of.... head gasket is my last option, but do not have the money for it, iv already put over $10000 bucks on my parents credit card, that i still am paying on, i dont have any spare cash, i know how to do a head gasket, but its a pain in the ***. and i dont have all the proper tools...

 

one more. they checked the water pump but it was ok they said, it will not oveheat just idling, only in stop and go traffic????? fans run new radiator....

 

it runs flawlesssly and is very quick for it being an automatic....just overheats, i dont want to make the engine worse than what it already is.. so im driveing anoter teg that is a 5-speed but the tranny grinds in 2nd and 3rd and sometimes loses power then pressing the gas to the floor it will like pull jerk and take off making a poping sound first, idk ho to explain the 5-speed problem? niether car is really drivable.

 

at work on christmas eve, fml
