254/236 here, after a lengthy search for my printout.

It was still on the way up at what looks like about 6700 RPM.

It is literally across the street from him lol. His apartments suck in this weather. They never put salt or sand out. I've been stuck there twice in my car and Jake and I got stuck there in his truck once, even with 4wd we couldn't get out lol

it is 3/10 of a mile from my garage to the parking garage at work. i dont think that they left the sprinklers on, what you dont see in the picture is that there is a slight hill and what usually happens it that all the runoff from the top side of the complex runs down to the storm drain past the gates

do i really put down more power then you? WOO HOO

Dang, we only had ice near the over-hangs in our complex from the runoffs down the roofs. I wouldn't have even tried to get my car out of that mess!

Travis does your car even get warmed up on the drive to work? I've heard that short drives are one of the biggest killers of engines.

they havent said if it will or wont have covered parking, but none of the other buildings have it, and if it does i am sure that it will be reserved for people with a P in their title

Hey guys, I just installed oem brembos. My rears sound like the brake pad is popping against the rotor. The pic below is my rear passenger, the rear driver did this yesterday, but it's not like that today. I will bleed the caliper today, using the motive bleeder to do that, the mechanic I used to install refused to use my bleeder. Will bleeding it properly take care of the rears? I also have some pedal play. Once this is done, I'll post pics of my entire process with the brembos. Thanks
