Even more reason not to use Rotas then.

I think it was Slim that posted a link to some interesting info pertaining ot Rota's bad rep.

The cliffs lead to just what you said though Aack. Rota makes a lot of OEM wheels and has for al ong time.

That name is far from synonomous with failure.

Also, I hate that my car gets dirty WHILE i wash it, I really want a lighter colour, but that throws not painting sills/engine bay out as well.

I might just live with the engine bay NOT getting paint and painting the rest.... dunno.

What is cheaper, buying good wheels the first time round or paying for everything that was damaged plus another wheel when the not strong wheel broke?

I don't like Malbec Black. It looks almost purple to me. It reads like people on the G forum are all giddy over this color, and I don't understand it. Unless... the IPL came out in Malbac Black first. Maybe associating with the IPL is what makes it so hot.

Whatever. I don't like it. Don't really care for the IPL, either.

Actually thought about the Bronze. Well still in the back of my mind. Wheels would have to match to some extent for that to work though.

Right now it stays matching rims.

And GLOWING $650 emblem. Hows that working out anyways

Serious question? Yes.... pretty much anywhere that's not the exhaust manifold. And if near the manifold a heat sheild is recommended.

I'd have to agree on both accounts from a online-picture viewing standpoint. I have yet to see one in person.

Over it. Ignore list for a reason. If only others would do the same so his posts stop getting quoted.

Thank goodness!! No offense but hot dayum that was ridiculous. I mean, if it was $50..... or something, it's worth a shot to see if it turns out cool in real life.

Yeah serious question.

I've got BT4 rattlecan and clearcoat rattlecan, growing a wild hair and thinking of stuff to clean up and/or paint in the engine bay.

In the next couple days, going to go visit a mom-and-pop welding shop and take a look at new muffler tips, sorta like the ones rec'd to me several pages back...

So wait, this stuff goes overtop the Obsidian Black? And turns out this colour?

That's amazing dude! Thanks so much for this idea!! I'm pretty much accepting that I'll have to paint at least door jambs so this is a great option to potentially keep cost down.

I like the following from them with that idea:

ooh that sounds really good actually.

I've got stew meat in freezer, veggies and stuff in fridge, probably gonna do a nice slow cooker stew in a couple days...


have you ever done Zucchini and squash on the BBQ? Cut them into strips and marinate them in italian dressing for like an hour or so, then grill them cross-wise under med heat, turning occasionally.
