Hey sofa why no TPMS on the TE's


Your thread made me go buy these 19's....

 

The tpms valve stem are fugly compare to volks colored iodize stem and therefore why I chose look over function.

Put on 10mm spacers & extended studs courtesy of Z1. The old TEs were +15 and i kinda had thoughts of putting a spacer on. The new TEs are +22 so it sunk in 7mm more.

Im pretty happy with the look in the rear now.

I genuinely can't wait until StanceNation next week. Not even the show, just getting out of this shitty farm town i live in. Granted, i can blast down these deserted farm roads, but i miss civilization.

 

The base held its semi-annual air show & it was a chance for me to walk around some planes i used to fly on. The sights & the smells brought back some memories. oh nastolgia!

Florida brought out an MC-130 Talon II

Flying for Special Operations was certainly difficult .If you look at the history of MC-130 crashes you'll see why. I didn't want to devote my life to the Air Force anymore & ultimately got out, but theres parts i miss.

Heres a couple pics i took while doing my time.
Sorry i didn't take you for a ride StuLax

You track? Why not go with ARP?

 

not yet, but once i move i want to get into taking it to the track.

i didn't want to mess with removing the ebrake.

 

It was only three bolts) :

 

the ebrake is only 3 bolts?

 

The ARP studs a super long and you have to remove the ebrake (which I had to do for my previous extended studs too) but for the ARP they are so long the only way they fit is removing the ebrake cable bracket (the 3 bolts I was referring to) and fit the studs through there

 

Had the car for exactly 1 year. Im up early this morning to head to StanceNation Texas. Its a 6 hour drive similar to El Paso.

I ****ing love that color!

 

Its always nice to hang with people that have the same sort of passion you do. Stance Nation was fun. Long ****ing day though, Roll-in was @ 8 am and the show ended at 7 pm. whew! No complaints though.

It was a pleasure driving on freeways w/ on ramps & overpasses, Damn i miss living in a city. Tearing up & down DFW was awesome!

Showed up @ 8am and got to cleaning. A 6 hour drive through west Texas left its mark on the car. But it was looking glossy as **** under the lights.

Took this home. I was genuinely shocked! I was fully expecting nothing but just the pleasure of being allowed to participate in the show. Its truly enough for me to watch people look over the car & give me a thumbs up.

Overall, good weekend!

 

Homie your car is awesome! You have executed it so well! I didn't expect anything less from you with your old beauty...

Truley Jelly meng!
