My Wheels Hate me...
 
Well, As yall know I did my rims black w/lip (small lip). Well recently I wanted to re do them right and make the lip bigger as it shoulda been. Well had all the stuff to do it...bad luck of course. The Paint Remover (Aircraft brand) wouldnt work! I went though 3-4 cans trying to remove the paint and it wasnt workin for ****. So after 2 days of that hell hole mess I said screw it..Did them a flat black just to actually save them haha. So yes recently they been flat black as yall noticed. Well 2 days ago I said...well..why not just do the lip with silver wheel paint. Got the paint...turns out not 1 kind of tape will stick to the rim (wtf??) So I have come to the conclusion my rims hate me or I just have bad luck........



werd.

Stock wheels. Thats why. Might try sand blasting them clean. Worked for me.

Im more for performance then I am for looks...a new set of rims/tires would cost a good arm and a leg...that money could be spent on performance stuff. The stock 16" with a nice lip look real good.

Jason, have you ever dyno'ed it? Just curious.

173rwhp when it was stock. Not bad for an automatic with shity 3.08s and open diff.

NoRiceInside 08-18-2006 11:40 PM

but not as good as 245 rwhp stock.

dont say youre going for performance if you drive a v6...please.

:rolleyes: Why do you go looking for a fight? No matter what you drive, you can be aiming for the best performance your car can give you.

Aren't you the guy that did heads/cam on a 3.4?

Sorry but anyone can go for performance no matter what they drive. Taigo's 3.4 has well over 300rwhp and almost 400rwtq so he can say he's going for performance when he drives the slowest V6 in a fourth gen.

God I love you for a reason chad.


Caleb ur just in a 8cyl so that makes u awsome and anything under 8cyl is just crazy...your so stuipd to think such ********. My friends civic will wipe the floor with ur trans am..and its a SOHC 1.5L with a small turbo. Its been a bad night but what stuck up **** heads that think a V8 is god and the V6 is ****...go learn something? Supra=V6, Skylin=V6, GNs=V6, GTPs=V6.

And yes, Im going for performance. There is a shootout down here next spring...bring your car ill be there and plenty of other V6 F-Bodys that would be please to shut people like you up. You only say that about V6 because LS1 owners diss on your LT1.

wheres your supra? wheres your skyline? wheres your grand national? wheres your gtp? wheres your LS1?

you dont have any of those so what good does it do? v6 camaros are slow, dont even try to say otherwise.


i didnt mean to stem into a v6/v8 debate, i just try to let others see the light. as chad said, yes i did cam my v6...well why did i ditch the v6 and am now driving a v8? cuz i know.

Just because ur failed attempt at makin a 3.4l slow doesnt mean there slow. So any car that doesnt run atleast a 13 stock motor is slow?
