kinda cool, its about an hour and some mins away from me.

 

i was on r1rs. low tread=all over the place. drove the same track on full treads..it was awesome. wiped up a few big dollar haulers.


yeah after expo im done listening to people complaining about travel distance. it is an eleven hour haul for me and a dude that is from washington is making the trip again. most events are fourish hours away so this eleven hour deal seems super long.

 

in no means am i bitching i got a few that are about the same distance. just letting you know how close i am to it. :-D

 

im not saying you were complaining..just stating a general observation.

heck ol 4cyclecommuter has autox.d before..on WANLIS.

 

Haha...you said Wanlis.

 

you've got to pay to play man....no one wants to pay to play, but they'll pay to hard park.

 

LOL Brad! Those Wanli's are junkdick, you saw that first hand! I dont wanna pay to play in that car anyway.

 

bizump dump three men in a tub paddling with there oem itr strut bars.

 

 

Ah I wanna play, I'm going to socal this summer but I'm flying, makes me want to drive.

 

i love this state......david when you coming here.

 

I miss cali....

 

ive never been.

 

Grey goose=hang over.....I feeling like ****.

You guys do anything last night?

 

the girls left with brandy.s family for vacation so i ordered pizza. i sat at home and watched the finish of the homestead race then read some then bed. big night!

 

Not sure my man. Hopefully soon. Have quite a bit of stuff going on right now so money is meh.

 

Status symbol lol, yeah for a lot of cats thats simply what it is.

You're right with looking at those factors and I think its awesome that you're spending the money on some nice rubber instead. I see the cheapeast all season tires on Volks and such all the time. SMH!!! Unfortunately thats not the case with the majority of people.

Its always the younger crowd trying to look hard on some cheap stuff and acting like "look at me I have wheels". Then you have the older crowd that just wants to have wheels that they won't have to baby and can beat on them at the track or street. Thats completely fine, because cost effective performance is what they're after. I have no issue with that.

You don't start making decent money until you're older and so a lot of them cheap out everywhere and they either drop out of the scene or end up never achieving a nice quality car.

Competition is good, but some when everyone starts copying it each other some issues arrive. A lot of the baller parts you see today are actually replicas themselves but they usually are high quality.

Take fashion for example, you cant copyright clothes. Theres always fake gucci/prada/etc stuff being made. A lot of those clothes themselves are replicas of other things. Its like Steve Jobs trying to copyright computers and suing Bill Gates, yeah right.

Rota actually makes a good quality wheel, not exactly always very close to the real thing but some models the untrained eye can't really tell.

Yeah very true, gabes car looks great and I don't look down upon it for having replica wheels. Ive seen some in person as well and thought it was a nice upgrade for what they cost.

What you paid for a car doesn't really matter, its what its worth at market prices that does. Yeah if you buy a stock rusty eg for 2k and put 2k wheels on it is retarded but most clean Hondas on average I would say are worth 3,500-5000 and rock 1k wheels which isn't a big deal if they want a specific brand.

Don't have to. I just saw some gabs for $500. You can get 949 racing wheels for a little over $500, you can get some Mugen MR5s for like 700, Kosei K1s, Buddy Club p1s, and theres a lot more too that go for around the same price as replicas. Yeah may not be as strong or new but it will probably be lighter for the most cases for the ones ranging in the same price as replicas.

Yeah the price is really down there, its like $100 per wheel. 949 is designing a wheel that will be around $100 :-)

Thats what Im saying though, its perfectly fine to get some cheaper wheels which will work fine and spend the money to get other things that will matter more. Your driving skills gained with more track time far exceeds the performance from having lighter wheels. You can save way more time with skill than by having less XP with lighter wheels. The mentality is different when youre younger though and they don't get them for those reasons but to actually try and show them off.

 

dude you come out here we will cruz the prettiest drive ever and then go to l. seca.
