South-Side is the best side

It is indeed!

I drive an AT but I've got those funky paddle shifts. They're handy on ramps and slowing down and red lights.

Hey I think we are going about this all wrong, you guys all live on the West side right West Side! ...But still SW is the best... lol

I test drove a BOM Fit sport with paddle shifters before I ordered mine, was kind of cool to play around with

Dang, forget the expression "trying to Keep up with the Jones's"... I need to keep up with Illusive! haha, how long till you break down and order the T1R turbo too

I haven't played with them very much - just to shift down. I'm not very good at shifting up. Gotta read the manual one of these days; but that flip chart is sure handy!

I'll have more time to play around with them next month. Time off is good!

And just because it has to be said: SW rocks!

You know what bursts my bubble?! I'm into modding my car, but I'm also into mountain biking quite seriously... my last downhill mountain bike was worth over 10k, and my newest one maybe 7k..

I was looking to buy a new set of mountain bike wheels for it, and the ones I found are called Mavic Crossmax SXs... now this is what bothers me... I bought a brand new set of Enkei RPF-1s 15" rims and they costed me approx. $800cdn... and the wheels I want to buy for my mountain bike will cost me the same if not more! WTF?!?! I really never put it into perspective, but how the hell does 2 mountain bike wheels cost more than 4 Enkei lightweight Racing wheels?!?!?!

I'll buy you your mountain bike wheels and you can trade me your Enkei's for them hahaha...It's a sign, you don't need $800 wheels for your mountain bike. What does it do for you that a normal one doesn't? I'm not into that kinda stuff so I wouldn't know...I can't see the benefit of a lightweight wheel as I would assume that the wheels do take a lot of abuse...

ya... it comes down to weight, tubeless options and the quality of hubs/bearings.

hubs and bearings will be important, I guess the weight does too...but how much will you be saving?

hahaha... maybe 3-4 lbs... so from 36lbs to 33-32lbs. it's actually a fair amount for a bike, but its just the cost factor. Then again, I just sold the old wheels off my bike for 450..

Wow that is a lot of $ for a bike! I have owned car(s) worth less than that


How often do you go riding? Where is your usual destination?

I was stoked to try the 6-speed manual Versa... was so dissapointed with the utter lack of quality and weird engine reving when you shift. Stupid Nissan puts all thier good stuff in the higher end models
sorry Sugarphreak, i gotta dis you! i didn't know nissan had any good stuff!!.......................................

hey boys, just picked up Shane's header today for his teg...T1R, nice welds, nice chrome, nice bends.....i have handled a ton of headers in my day, these r the nicest i have ever handled....the smell of burnt rubber, the cloud of smoke, the loud exhaust.........nothing is better!!!

do the T1R's........

Hey I spotted DaveVM today over @ Superstore, signal hill. Got to take a sneak peak at those painted rims details and fog lights. Looks really good! Those red calipers really stand out, I like it!

I am guessing your spotted my Fit parked about 2 miles from any other car in the lot... lets just say I have a bit of a phobia about people dinging up my car I wonder if they have a name for that... Doordingaphobia?
hey, my "Wif" stole my car..hope she parked in a safe area....tell me she did Sugarphreak!!! i can't take credit for the fogs...Illusive rules.....

lol, what can I say, I have a soft spot for the 350Z and the XTerra.

haha, don't worry she parked a few spots over from me... at the very back of the lot The only thing I was worried about getting hit by was tumble weeds

You like the T1R eh, yeah I am leaning that way. Well priced, and they take the performance and quality pretty seriously. I think the Mugen is good too, but you pay a heafty premium for the name.
