$80 from Armando - good enough for me!

That's where I've been going since 2006, dealing with Armando and getting charged $60 total. But when I called them this week, I was getting Gabriel on the phone, and he told me they charge $100 to swap the new tires onto the wheels. Maybe I should ask for Armando and see what he says.

Are there any reasonably priced shops in the southbay (Torrance/Gardena) area? I thought the norm used to be $15-20 per tire, but now all I hear from local shops is $25-30 with separate fees for dismounting old tires, mounting/balancing, and valve stems.

Reflects light like car and safety reflectors.

Yeah, long time no see, Brent!

These are great parts at great prices. I wish parts for the S2000 were this cheap.

That's not the Stig. What was that nonsense at ~1:34? :unimpressed:

I haven't used them myself, but Evasive Motorsports in La Puente seems to be a pretty popular shop for S2000 parts and service. It should be cheaper than the dealer here. http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/757960-evasive-open-for-service-maintenance/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fa...

2.5l 06-08 WRX in STX? Anyone still driving one?

Ah, it would've been fun to see what you could do at Nationals with this car.

Sure, blame it on the cones.

Great job, Max. Congrats!

Because Mac users have to wait for the next OS, LION in order to get TRIM, it's been suggested that I perhaps buy a hybrid HD for now, that has say 8 gig's of RAM in addition to a regular HD? Thanks for the recommendations so far! If you're worried about not having TRIM support, the Kingston sugges...

It's Interlaken! They have sky diving, paragliding, canyoning, white water rafting, etc. Fun place!

Looks like you're in the 240-300 GB range at ~$500. Some of the popular and fast current generation drives are: Intel 510 Intel 320 Crucial m4 OCZ Vertex 3 Kingston V+100 (throwing this one in here because of its garbage collection that doesn't need TRIM support from the OS) Look up reviews of other...

Awesome article!

Was that a manual start?

:unimpressed:

But yeah, I like golf, and the caption is correct based on the way I drove this weekend.

Run in STR? Who else is going to run Kumhos in STR?

That guy is a sim racing and autocrossing monster.

You're pretty close to Suby Specialties in Monrovia. Ask them who they use, unless they do it themselves. I'd trust them.

Again?

Oops, I meant for earlier registrations. I registered over the weekend.

Just curious if anyone else was charged the standard registration fee instead of the early registration fee when they signed up for the Tour this past weekend or earlier through MotorsportsReg. I have to get a refund check from Nancy Downing since they can't process refunds through MotorsportsReg. :...
