nice pic! i had one on my coupe for a while, but the four clamps that hold the roof rack down scratched up the clear coat and looked pretty bad. showed up worse since i have a dark colored car. hopefully you wont have the same problem.

I hope that doesn't happen. The only thing that touches the paint on the roof is the rubber part. Metal only hits metal inside the door frame.

I needed to get my A Service done, so i took the car over to Serge at Hyevon Motors. I won a certificate at the Los Alamitos car meet for a free service and used it today.. Thanks Serge!
Also had the renntech pulley installed. I was gonna get the powerchip tune done also, but they couldnt make it out today, looks like that will have to wait til next week.

Its been a little over 2 weeks since i had the Renntech pulley kit installed, and man am i loving this thing. Starting at 2k rpm you can really feel it pull like crazy.. well you know what i mean. I really didn't expect anything too noticeable. I can definitely feel a difference, more than i could with the Kleeman header. Seriously glad i got it, if you have the opportunity to purchase this, i highly recommend getting it!!
I have an appt. for the powerchip tune this Thursday 6/25... cant wait!

seriously i have no idea. Try talking to Serge(Hyevon Motors) this Saturday about it. When i had it installed he took measurements and was talking of maybe producing them if there was a market for it. It was mainly just shop talk, but ya never know...

6/25/09 RIP MJ - you will live on through your music.
Took a day off of work and decided to get some work done. My passenger rear wheel was rubbing on dips when i had a passenger in it, so i took my car down to VIP Status to have Gilbert do some shaving. It was rubbing towards the front of the fender. He shaved a piece of it off and now its cool. I wish i took pics, but didn't. My front driver side fog light came loose too, had him tighten that back down...
I grabbed some lunch and when i came out, i was surrounded!!

cruised down pch to Huntington Beach and off to Hyevon Motors/HMS for my 5:30appt with powerchip

Throttle lag sucks glad you feel a difference. Do you think you will get throttle lag in the future? I heard members didn't feel a throttle lag when they reset their ECU but after it comes back.
Hope you dont get that lag back.

hahaha so you'll never believe what happend to me when i went to do my brakes rotors and lines last night...i ordered r1 drilled front and rear, hawk ceramic front, and akebono rear, and bfgoodrich lines...though you've probably already guessed the warehouse sent me the wrong hawk ceramics those aholes! and ya my box was just 4 pads rubberbanded in an simple box that was filthy...its like they just took 4 pads rubberbanded them and through them in a box! luckily i still had some room on the pads so i just put them back on and am gonna have to call the company today to figure out what to do...God i was pissed! did you ever change yorus out again or you still running the semi metallic duralasts?

umm like something auto warehouse or soemthing, maybe autoanything.com not really sure I didnt have time to call them today, so I'll do that tomorrow or monday depending on if they answer...I'll probably just go ot the auto store and get their ceramic wagners I've heard they're pretty good...i just hate the OEM's
