I bought this D5200R http://4xspower.com/products/
But then again I am going for more looks and convience than power with my car which seems to be a bit different than most z folks that I meet. This is a quick charge/discharge battery with a high watt output for car audio systems.

I get the need for speed and racing out on an racetrack where I don't feel bad bumping people a bit .

You guys all know your stuff but just remember that we have reverse terminal batteries in our z's. Seems like we are stuck with a reverse terminal battery unless some of you know how to tweak something with the wires easily. I didn't see an easy way.

I want that Braille. Had the chance a few years ago for a used one. Oh, well.

My hip is feeling better after that cortisone injection in my spine. The bulging disc was wreaking havoc on my lower back and hips. Slept pretty well last night, but I can't sit for long. It'll need time.

Reality has set in...think I will be skipping illusive ROTA SVN's 18x9's I wanna run, and using the money elsewhere on car. I like the stock rims anyways, I was trying to avoid costly non-rotatable tires! FOund some EAGLE GT GOODYEAR for decent price. Put sthe total closer to 5 instead of 1900!
Anyways, the money will be better used on LSD...hahah literally.

Awesome! Sounds like a good plan.

I've decided that I want to sell the Nismo skirts and fins that I bought from Ben and apply the funds to performance. Anyone interested?

Bumper, too? I've got a couple of people interested in the skirts and fins, but they're out of state. Same with the bumper. I'd rather not have to ship.

Say Dave, you want to know who wins season 3 of bullrun? The speed channel throws it right in your face who the winner is.

heres a little hint:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UA91bZFFUaE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UA91bZFFUaE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

If anyone gets this before going to the auto show please take a picture of the outside (and inside if you can) of the Lexus HS250 with the body kit on it. I remember really likeing it and I want to get a Hybrid vehicle for my daily drive.

I think VIP Passport installed the aftermarket kit??? Anyone confirm that...I can't seem to find a site. Or if anyone remember if a local dealer was selling that car?
