Hope so. So far what i'm looking for doesn't exist.

I have to believe there's enough people running spacers there has to be longer lug bolts.

My only other option is studs and nuts...and don't really want to go there.

coco_m3 · 11-09-2008, 12:14 AM

Yikes.

Park2670 · 11-09-2008, 01:26 AM

Anybody have suggestions for a nice Italian resturant that's not terribly over priced?

coco_m3 · 11-09-2008, 04:09 AM

Where?
SL,UT or VEGAS

Park2670 · 11-09-2008, 11:38 AM

Salt lake!

SLCGoonski · 11-09-2008, 12:14 PM

there's a place in gateway that's good...biaggi's

and a place called fratelli's up by me (quarry bend)

whatever you do...don't go to the olive garden.

coco_m3 · 11-09-2008, 03:58 PM

Olio Ristorante is soooooo good.

Al Forno's downtown is good, as are Trio and Caffe Molise.

If you do want to spend a little more, Lugano, Cuccina Toscana, and Fresco are also great!

SLCGoonski · 11-09-2008, 06:35 PM

cuccina is real italian. If you've never been (or to Italy)...might be a tad confusing...

JL330i_UT · 11-09-2008, 06:41 PM

Cuccina Toscana is soo good!!

Lugano is also top notch.

Park2670 · 11-09-2008, 06:59 PM

I honestly had no idea there were this many good restaurants here! Thanks for the tips guys

Oh and welcome newbie!

coco_m3 · 11-10-2008, 10:52 AM

Good Morning Everyone!

Park2670 · 11-10-2008, 11:25 AM

Hi Jeff!

SLCGoonski · 11-10-2008, 11:43 AM

Morning

Who's in for lunch somewhere today? I need to make it to Wheel Werks sometime to find out about those lugs.

(PS - Text is best)

Park2670 · 11-10-2008, 11:45 AM

Fantastic. Im really behind at work, looks like keith got a little behind thursday and friday. Oh well, it was worth it.

What are they going to go on? They for sure wont fit the 1. They wont even fit the new 3

On another note, I have a tech pulling my turbos. Hopefully im getting new ones instead of new wastegates. Im sick of the damn clicking all the time. Had my snow tires put on while it was in the air too. No more flooring it and burning out

SLCGoonski · 11-10-2008, 04:21 PM

so lunch this week is now limited to Friday (tues in logan, wed. conf call, thurs utah county). Who's in? And not Karroos this week damn it.

Jeff - your new exhaust story - what's up? - NOW!

Park2670 · 11-10-2008, 04:50 PM

Yea Jeff. Spill the beans!

Park2670 · 11-10-2008, 05:31 PM

So after a couple weeks of dealing with my wastegate rattle, my tech actually found the time to pull them and see if we can get them replaced. Right after they come out, the shop foreman comes up and chuckles out "you drive the shit out of your car dont you?" I laughed back "hell yes!"
See attached picture. All of the other cars that we replaced the turbos on, the turbines have been covered in black soot. Mine are WHITE from lots of heat and fuel. Something I am very proud of

SLCGoonski · 11-10-2008, 06:21 PM

nice work

So what was the problem?

coco_m3 · 11-10-2008, 06:36 PM

Like i said on the WD, it was too loud for me, so i just gonna get a set of downpipes.
I told you my car was ticking and you said it was the clutch.
Plus my seat stitching is coming up, and my tranny is making weird noises.

Service needed.

Plus im 99% down for lunch on friday. Where?
