Haha, are we going to have some new "winter 07/08" Kansei snowplow pics this year?

New rims are teh hawt!
Trade?

 

niiice!

 

We're back.

Hey Krayzie, aren't those rims similar to Chris'? They look great with that little polished lip on the inside. Fewer spokes FTW!

 

yup, they're another Kreuzer V replica.. and stunning if I do say so myself.

WE'RE BACK OMG YAY!

 

OOOOMMMMGG!!! It's so nice to be back!!!!!!

I was seriously starting to get withdrawals.

 

So what have I done since the site went down? Hmm .. let's see. Quite a few things actually.

Got new lug nuts for the new wheels, installed a new valve cover, got my passenger side door fixed from a huge dent I got in a parking lot, and washed it again Pics of nuts included, and valve cover will be installed tomorrow. Found a guy who does powdercoating locally and he only charged me $25 for the coating!! Did a fantastic job too.

 

me too. *must catch up on all posts ever*

I just drove it to campus a couple times, not much exciting stuff at all.

 

I'm still planning out my snow tire purchase but I need to order them within the next week so I can get them mounted before it snows.

Funny to think that it can snow within the month yet it was 86F today! ha

 

Yea they look damn near identical. I love them though, they look a lot better than the old ones for a number of reasons.

1) Five spoke rims are teh sex!!
2) These are actual black wheels as opposed to gunmetal
3) The spokes extend to the end of the rim so they look pretty big for 17"
4) Did I mention fewer spokes being teh sex?
5) Chrome lip is on the inside and looks pee-yump!! while rollin on the highway
6) Fewer spokes FTW

 

No ****!! It was way freakin hot in Iowa today too. I was walkin around in shorts and a T-shirt no problem. I can't believe what's goin on with this climate this year.

But yea, winter prep is definitely on it's way for me too. I just checked up on my winter tires & took them for some extra air. Ordered some new windshield nozzles too for my stock hood cuz I'm sick of the **** stream of the stock nozzles. Got some Tribute ones instead so hopefully they do a better job of covering the windshield during the winter.

Last thing for winter prep .. undercoating.

 

got the exhaust in the mail today...it would have been here yesterday and I might have been able to install it since the weather was nice, but UPS couldnt figure out how to ring my doorbell and it rained today also its supposed to rain all weekend...so now the staying all nice and cozy on my couch

 

Got my red STB in today, USPS had lost it, first mailed on AUGUST 4TH!

Well, that's a nice weekend project! OEM STB

I'll let you know when the silver one gets here Kansei.

 

I just got so confused because I think I discussed that with you on TOprotege not here (as it was during the downtime)

but yeah, lemme know when you get the silver one

 

My car just got an official photoshoot.. a crime scene photoshoot.




..

...for a photo project my sister had to do for a forensics class for grad school

it was good times, there was totally a little baggy with white powder and a bottle of (real) narcotic pain killers (from my mom lol).

 

I rollled the Pro back a little in the garage (my gf parked in there last night while I was getting new tires installed and an alignment on the Speed. She parked too close to the front...women!). Nothing else as I am trying to get the rest of my house trim painted. Have to go back up shortly to put on a second coat on what I did today.
