The Giovanna wheels on my Mercedes are quite heavy....They are not really a favored look among the 190e community but everyone else had AMGs and i wanted something different and attention grabbing....It's ashame i onlt had 1000miles on the wheels and tires and i still haven't found a buyer simply because the wheels have a "unique" look

Saabr - Those "T" rims would be a great compliment! :)

RadarRick - Nah, never too old! It's precisely the teenager in me that somehow pushed-through and made me purchase my gigantic fart-cans. :oops: :lol: But I'll conceded that it was the old-grandpa in me that made me get an exhaust setup that was quiet.

And I know all too well about never seeing any returns from the money spent. None of these upgrades really add any value on the re-sale markete, unless they're going to fellow enthusiasts as private-sales. :( I guess the current exception in tuner circles is the last-generation Supra. Those, I've actually seen "appreciate."

VOLVOrob - Now that iPd sponsorship would be great, wouldn't it? :twisted: David Buschur - known for his DSM and EVO work, is now getting into the Subaru game again. I've got a lot of respect for this guy, and he's also "local" to me as well. At some point, I think that Winky, my Legacy, might become a fixture in his shop - when she's ready to get upgraded to bigger and better.

cooltc2004 - Nice! 8) I do lust after your father's Camaro, though..... Drool........ :shock:

A-Town - Your ride must sound absolutely tremendous. I've heard some SLP stuff before, but never on your specific model-year 'Stang, and I'd love to get a load of that....how I love the sound of Detroit muscle.

not much you can do to a bike either way right????

Yes, it's a very fine line between too much (track style) and not enough (soft rubber hose lines, hard tires, sponge like OEM shocks and alike). Where is enough is enough, besides never having too much hp :wink: Agree there is some improvement to be made to most anything OEM. But, in less it's for making it better, over making it look pretty, it's a waste of money that you will never retrieve. I'm too old to be noticed now 8)

Nah Arashi, a very long time ago i had an R1, then put it on the track soon after. Still have my work-horse R1100GS BMW until i get some coin together (plus my licence points back) and buy a ZX-10R or alike :wink: :twisted:

Speaking of souped-up bikes.....

I once had a classmate and friend of mine who was in a local "bike club."

Mostly African-American males of urban residence and habits, they preferred the, at the time, Inner-City chic "crotch rockets."

His looked plain enough on the outside (well, as "plain" as any of those bikes can get) - but the rear brake and marker/turn signals were re-wired so as to be able to be manually defeated, and in addition to some cleverly muted exhaust work, also carried some engine modifications, the least of which was a healthy shot of nitrous.

In the club, he was known as "Outrun." 8)

speaking of Outrun............. has ANYBODY seen Jason.. I know hes bust with his video company, but as far as I know hes just fallen off the face of the earth :?

^ I don't know this outrun from our Forums, but I did just see one of his posts, which was on the "new posts" since I last checked-in this afternoon, so he's around.....
