n_maher Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 I fear the local C&C will be pretty pedestrian but beggars can't be choosers. I might try to fins one closer to Boston too.
VPI Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Posted July 20, 2015 Our Sunday one is typically pretty laid back and not super high end, but it is still fun. I left yesterday in a whole train of super noisy japanese cars, Acura NSX, Skyline R32, about a dozen Suburu BRZs, a couple of WRX STis. Drove me crazy as they were buzzing so loudly but not moving the whole way down the road as they wanted everyone to see them.
VPI Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Posted July 20, 2015 I hear you. I actually had to unvent my sunroof because those buzzy little BRZs were all round me.
VPI Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 Phase One of today's Audi upgrades is complete. Before After Can anyone spot the difference...not the stupid Quattro stickers. 4
MexicanDragon Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 It looks well on it's way to being meaner. Ready to see round 2. **BRENT**
VPI Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 It's Sunnier? and Tints? Good to know Grahame is so observant. 1
Grahame Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Good job I'm not an AI based tank recognition system http://lesswrong.com/lw/7qz/machine_learning_and_unintended_consequences/
VPI Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 As I am apparently the very last stop on the UPS driver's route. Phase 2 has been delayed. Just going to seal and wax them tonight. Also need to figure out if the Audi lug nuts work on these as they come with nothing new. 3
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Of course, I get to the last wheel and find the silver balance tabs stuck to the cardboard protector and no longer where they belong on the wheel. I guess I am going to have to find a shop to figure out where they go.

I guess I am going to have to find a shop to figure out where they go. Oh, forgot to post that I had a biscuit this morning for breakfast. **BRENT** 3
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Remind me to kick you in the nuts next time I see you Brent. 3
MexicanDragon Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Probably wouldn't feel it, but contributing to your misery would make it worth it if I did. **BRENT**
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Planning to take a road trip down to the Tudor series race at VIR. Anyone up for a HC race gathering? http://www.imsa.com/races/virginia-international-raceway 1
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 There is also VAG Fair in Dan's home town coming up in August for the VAG people. http://www.vagfair.com/york/
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Motherfucker. Took one wheel to a Firestone in the neighborhood to rebalance the wheel and pick it up to find scrapes all the way around the lip. They are saying it was like that when I brought it. I am very close to killing the whole shitty shop.
Dreadhead Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry Jeff. I hope your arguing gets you some satisfaction.
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Looks like the car is just low enough now that the low profile jack and adapter will not actually fit under the car. I am going to stab Brent when I see him for eating biscuits.
MexicanDragon Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 My bad, but god damn, today's biscuit was delicious. **BRENT**
VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 I have filed a claim with corporate, Firestone, and am supposed to hear back in 3-5 days from my specialist. HRE will repowder coat the set for $500.
n_maher Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 What a pain in the ass, sorry Jeff. Damnit Brent!
