DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

STI takeoffs arent unreasonable. Ive had multiple sets of Enkeis that ive been very happy with.

 

That is more than likely what I will try and find for now.

 

I had a set of Enkeis ordered for the wifes Infiniti, then covid happened.

 

Frank may have a set in the She Shed, possibly even 1:1

 

nah i rocked Rotas on my scoob. Ive got 2 BMW pattern 18 inch wheels with some bfgoodrich summer slicks on em though

and a wrx wing

 

Does this one look lowered?

 

Damn, I’ve been away for awhile, hope everyone is well. Finally about to tackle the work on my front end. Where do y’all recommend me getting a alignment that has experience with SPC UCAs?

I’m replacing the steering rack, outer tie rods, LCA bushings, UCAs, LBJs, ECGS needle bearing, front diff axle seals and cv axles.

 

Call Tandem or Goode's Offroad

 

Cool thanks, tandem is right near me. I’m hoping I can get this done in 2 days lol. We’ll see though.

got my 285s mounted onto my F5s and Discount scratched up 3 of the wheels inside the hub area. I’m hoping it’s not noticeable once mounted but it if is I’ll definitely be having a talk with the manager.

 

lil touch up wont hurt, wheels get banged up no biggie

Call tandem to schedule an apt, they arent really a walk-in type place since its a small shop

 

yea I’m not really worried about it, I just prefer to do the scratching myself lol. I was gonna ask them for touch up.

I’ll definitely call ahead thanks

 

Mine too, sucks. It took 3 days for them to answer their phone and another week and a half for an appointment, so plan accordingly.

 

So i thought this was a toyota forum... haha. JK. My truck is only a couple months away from being paid off so i have been searching for a new whip myself!

Really want something with a nice smooth ride and good MPGs! Avalon is still at the top of my list. I have been looking at Lexus sedans also but i dont feel like they are priced as moderate as a avalon.

Welcome! you missed a hell of a meetup just over a week ago.

 

It was a great time! Speaking of which...

If you feel so inclined, I’d ask you to consider contributing something to replenish food and tool costs. I’ve noticed many of his tools are well worn, broken (I chewed up a few of his bits recently, or just in need of general upkeep or replacement — none of which would be necessary if so many of us weren’t using the shop he so graciously provided.

On top of that, he gives out beer and cooks as often as possible for as many will show up. If you leave hungry, you’re the idiot. Anything helps keep @Bigdaddy4760 doing what he does best — being good people and sharing his interests with us.

To get a appointment with tandem?

Ill just wait and install my new tires right before I go

 

I've got a friend possibly selling his IS300. Its really clean and comes with a 2JZ, bro! I can get details if interested.

 

love those cars, auto or manual?

 

Did they make it in manual? I always thought they were auto only.

 

DT scratched my F5s.

Tandem is busy, so plan ahead. Sorry, I was in a rush to get out the door and didn’t make that all clear ha
