Versa S (for Sport)

[Eye of the Tiger]

You know what's boring? Overly intrusive traction control that bogs the engine down when I need full throttle for pulling out onto a highway. Huge sticky tires should fix most of that - or I could remember to hit the ESC off button. Oh well. Every new car has this shit on it, Versa S or not.

Oil done changed @ 1300 miles to 5w30 Valvoline Synpower. So much more hp now.

I want these KTM valve stem caps with integrated core removers, but they are $15/pair wtf.

Also ordered ::
::a pair for camber bolts for the front strutz for dat 1.25 degrees camber

Godam ARP wheel studsare going to cost $150. I hope I don't need them. Will have to see how the wheels fit.

[CaminoRacer]

I got ARP header bolts for only $31. Just modify those

Are they M12x1.25? I already bought lug nuts, so they shiuld probly match

I had an awful dream last night. A white Genesis coupe was chasing me, and I couldn't get away because Versa S has shitty stock tires, no camber up front, and too much toe-in out back. Oddly enough, horsepower was not the problem.

I was thinking a giant windshield banner.

[AutobahnSHO]

better get both, so people can read it coming and going

Pffffffffft. Whats behind me is irreverent.


The good news is I have tire machines at work, so I can mount/balance tires on new wheels for approx. $0.00.

I got a few boxes in the mail, today. I found this wheel inside one of the said boxes:

What was in the other boxes?  Chrome 'zaust tips?  Beef tips?  Gravy?  Shit, I'm hungry.

I am assuming the similar boxes contained more of the same, but I have not opened them yet. I did open one oddly small box, and found it contained some wheel nuts and valve stems. I suppose my wheel weights are a day behind.

No comments on my purple sofa with green pillows? I am disapoint son. I try hard for decorate.

[giant_mtb]

I see doge hair.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Doge sits on this couch even though I tell him to sit on other couch with his doge blanket. He also throws his blanket on the floor and sits on the bare upholstry.

[giant_mtb]

My doge has his own couch, too.  He likes it.  I mean, he's not my doge, but I hang out with him enough that we're bffs, so.

[CaminoRacer]

Good wheels, nice house

[Eye of the Tiger]

Right on, brah



I just got done bolting the valve stems into the wheels. Should be nice. Floppy rubber valve stems always piss me off.

I got a few boxes in the mail, today. I found this wheel inside one of the said boxes:

Those are sharp. Really offsets the throw pillow nicely.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Those are sharp. Really offsets the throw pillow nicely.

The offset is +38mm

[giant_mtb]

The "throw" is 38mm.

[Eye of the Tiger]

The "throw" is 38mm.

Nah, it is way bigger than that. Just look at it compared to the wheel.
