***GREAT LAKES General Discussion Thread***

Not sure about places in IL but I bought my motorcycle helmet for like $40 at a bike shop in Minneapolis

Those are essentially the same thing as these right? Mines DOT stamped...just a black helmet, nothing special but it looks nice and is extremely comfortable

edit - i may have had a discount coupon I cant remember

yeah motorcycle helmets are not allowed on some tracks, that helmet I showed hector is since is SA meaning for auto-racing, basically flame retardant where Motorcycles aren't.

Both would work for autoX tho.

speaking of you gonna autox w/tony next month?

someone's car always messes up before or after this bbq lol
sorry it had to be you this year.. you hit something to blow up that tire?

Yeah, I was about to get on the interstate, and right after a slope I hit the biggest pothole, came out of nowhere, and BOM.

But its all good, my friend hooked me up with 4 brand new Firehawk GT with lifetime waranty for only 350, they're ussualy 500ish. so i'm happy, now i need to change my oil and my brakes are squealing, so i need brakes like today.

Well I have a boost leak in the t-shaped hose assembly that attaches to the compressor side of the turbo. That is being replaced this weekend. So I'll let you know for sure in a few days lol. That has prevented me from really hammering on it. I've been pretty easy on it so far but its still sooo much faster than my civic, I notice it especially when passing people on the highway. I dont even have to downshift!

 

[Bheims]

Im speechless...my brain has been overloaded. If you have 6.5 minutes and know how to use youtube I'd watch this. If you've seen Anfreys thread you know what Im talking about but still, this video is amazing, in every sense of the word
