Jason, the miros have the least amount of concavity. The vmrs next with the alugen definetly the best.

How's the car run now Adam?

Maybe it's just placebo effect, but it honestly feels stronger and less "jittery". I was surprised at how much carbon build up there was on there!

TurboFan · 03-21-2009, 07:22 PM

how about quality? What can y'all tell me about VMR? It looks like Alugen is the best process (low pressure cast), but I don't know if it's worth the $$$.

SLCGoonski · 03-21-2009, 10:00 PM

How much more? Is there an early buy you can get in on?

How easy to change plugs Adam?

And saaweeeeet on the wheels parker. Let me know.

In colorado today, back tomorrow afternoon.

TurboFan · 03-21-2009, 11:09 PM

They want $999 for the wheels in OEM silver, plus $199 for the hyperblack or gunmetal. It's about $500 more than the VMR's.

TurboFan · 03-21-2009, 11:12 PM

I'm leaning toward the VMR's in hyperblack, and put the difference into a rear sway. I keep thinking about coil-overs, but I don't want to spend the coin on a car I'm going to return in 18mos.

SLCGoonski · 03-22-2009, 12:59 AM

I like hyperblack. Not available in 710s though.

coco_m3 · 03-22-2009, 04:48 AM

Last day of spring break for me.

Might catch an afternoon movie.

Park2670 · 03-22-2009, 02:58 PM

I keep finding cars that are perfect that have sold...

How is it possible that I dont see it until then? Are they hiding from me?

You just picked a very desirable car in a market where quality, pre-owned vehicles are king. Your gem will show up soon.

Went to the train yard to take pictures... Put the euro plate on, got the perfect angle... took a couple steps back. Camera is dead. Damn!

Go back start to put my Utah plate back on and see a white durango pull up. SHIT. UTA police comes up says I look suspicious, and asks whats with the plate. I show her the Euro and the camera. Runs my plate, and tells me to step away from the car. Says she needs my license and stuff. Runs my license. Trys to shoot the breeze with me while the stuff is coming back from my plate and license. stupid cops always ruining my fun
