Woot woot! But I thought you were on 205s, but yay for lowerness.

 

nah 215/40. Very mild stretch but gets the job done. In the future I may go 215/35 or 205/40.

I had 205/40 on the fronts for my stockies and it gave a good little stretch to clear any rubbing.

 

I took 3rd place in the Password JDM Money Shot contest! It was on facebook, if you guys check out Password JDM's latest post, read the comments. TONS of Honda dudes hating on scions because two of us placed.

First time I ever won anything with my car.

 

nice bro! what did you win???

 

Thanks man! $50 store credit... but I couldn't get much for that haha. I ended up asking for some of those fancy engine bay washers, a t shirt, and a lanyard, but they never got back to me on it so idk... I might have a drawing for one of the items to a random person that voted for me in the contest.

 

thats tight bro well congrats again!

 

Thank you

 

I mustered up some courage and swapped my HVAC LEDs to red today, man was I scared but it wasn't bad at all. I got everything done and it all works perfectly.

I'm doing the Gauges as soon as my red translucent vinyl comes in, HVAC is all red with the red/blue temp ****, and my gauges are going to have white numbers, red lines and red everything else, can't wait!

Pics once everything is done!

 

hey, whats the offset on ur rims? cuz heres the thing. i have tenzo type m(bootleg of what you have, haha) 18x8 +35. with the same tires on em, 215/40. im dropped on tein s-techs right now but im upgrading to tein basics by next week. i read that the 35 offset is supposed to be tucking when its dropped, but whenever i go up a driveway or make a hard turn, my tires rub on the fenders. so, im kinda affraid to go looooowwwww on my basics. i DO NOT wanna roll my fenders cuz i personally think that looks tacky(IMO), so i was thinking new tires, maybe 205/35 so the tires are thinner/skinnier so i can stretch them, more camber, or a combo of both? what do you think?

 

Well I don't have those wheels anymore, now I'm on 18X8 +48 with 215/40 tires. You get a decent abount of stretch with the 215/40 but I am on a much higher offset than +35. 205/35 would leave you with very little tire, to be safe I think a 215/35 would be perfect with the drop and allow you not to be able to roll your fenders.

 

congrats on placing 3rd in the contest. Nice that 2 scions made it in the top 3!

 

Thanks Tyson

Some of you who are my facebook friend may know already, but over this past weekend some IDIOT wasn't paying attention and hit me while I was at a stop sign.

This ____ING STUPID ___ is a guy that used to drive a riced out sunfire, who blew the engine in that and somehow got his hands on a decent condition 240sx. We were all having a get together and somehow he was invited. On the way there of course I was the one he was behind. ____ing idiot wasn't paying attention and messing with his phone.

Thankfully, the damage isn't too bad, I was in neutral when he hit and i rolled forward so I didn't take a lot of damage. My rear bumper is like kinda wavy/creased, and there are like two dents.

I called his insurance today and started the claim, I can't wait to just get this repaired and put it behind me but I am so ____ing ____ed... I took care of my car for two years and kept it in pristine condition, I babied it, and this _______ had to go and ____ all of that up!

Not to mention a big car show is this weekend in Baton Rouge, looks like I'll probably miss that one because if I were to go anyway I'd only be depressed knowing my car is at home because of a retard.

I think I just needed to rant... it was hard to just not beat the ____ out of him after it all happened... but I don't think I'll ever see him around again on a count of most of my buddies are madder at him than I am.

I think I just needed to vent, I have some pics of the damage I'll throw up some time soon.

 

Damn bro, sorry to hear the bad news my car got hit and run in front of my gfs house, in broad daylight... some people are a waste of air. hope you get it fixed quick! and dont worry that ___ has it coming, sooner or later.

 

That's blows. I lol'd at your comment about taking great care of your car for two years before this happened. In today's world, you're very lucky to make it this far without an accident. People are just often stupid. Most people don't see their vehicles they way we do, ya know? To them it's just means of transportation and nothing more. Even though this guy has a 240, he doesn't seem to be too concerned about it if he's texting while driving or whatever.

Good luck, dude. I hope it gets fixed quick.

 

Oh nooooo are you serious?!? Wow, can't believe that happen devin. Your car looked in pristine condition like it did if it came straight off show room floor when I seen it. Hope you get everything fixed fast and properly. Glad your okay also....just wish the other guy wasn't lol

 

Thanks guys, I know man it hurts me to look at it Jasper you are exactly right, most people are just like "meh it's a car..."

His insurance sent a lady out yesterday and looked at my car, I should have the papers I need by Friday to take it to my body shop and start getting it fixed. I just can't wait to get it done and put this behind me!

Heard from am mutual friend his car is in bad shape lol, his front reinforcement snapped off, bumper barely hanging on, and his headlights no longer work or go up/down. Sucks but karma I guess.

 

Hey at least he took most of the damage. The dumb ___ shouldn't have been on his phone in the first place.

 

True that man, can't stand it when I see people texting while driving... he should have never hit me.

 

everytime 5-6 pm rolls around and I look out the office window I see everyone from 3 surrounding building leaving the parking garage about every single on of them is on the phone or texting. I can't stand people who are distracted while driving.

 

Yeah Tyson it sucks.

I got my car back today, took a month but she looks good as new

Before:



After:


Tomorrow my 18's are going back on, with the smaller 215/35/40 tires. I'm also dropping it some more and waiting on a few goodies in the mail.
