If you are back in Lake Charles, go to the Market Basket in Moss Bluff ... there is a small blue building on the east side of the parking lot - go there. (just roll your front windows down before you get there)

:wavey: I use photoshop's save for web function. But, if you have a flickr account, there is an avatar size option. You can just direct link it from there. Save yourself a lot of hassle.

ok, i know i just introduced myself yesterday, but i already have a question. i bought my car from Team almost 2 weeks ago and noticed today that it pulls heavily to the right. I will check my tire pressure tomorrow, but I've seen a few threads about this problem. If it is not the tire pressure, I'm calling my dealer.

My question is, if you have dealt with Team's service department, how was it? Advice please or if you had this problem, what did you do? I'm upset bc I am in love with my car, but the fact that I may already have to take it to the dealership disheartens me. Grrrr.

Thanks in advance.

well if your tpms (Tire pressure monitor sensor) isn't flagging anything than it wouldn't be an issue with the pressure, but I would check it anyways for the sake of checking it out.

Sorry but I don't see any point in making a r18 fast. Or even putting a body kit/anything else on there. Just keep it as a nice DD and retain some of the resale value when you decide you wanna move up in the world to like S2k or something like that. Just keep it stock with maybe a nice sound system, otherwise everything else just save your money..

Anyways is there anywhere else to get an inspection sticker that could less of a rats ass?

you do realize modding a R18 is just like modifying an EG or EK. they just have about a 15 year head start on our motor.

plus im going to swap everything back on when i go to sell. that is why i have stock EX wheels, intake, and exhaust in my attic. then i can sell the add ons separately.

mmkay let's whore another R18 picture:

Now on average I put 6k miles a year if that, and thats from driving on vacation I have a take Home Unit so I dont drive much other that for pleasure riding lol. So now that you know over the next lets say 3 years My R18 might see another 15k thats If I continue driving to florida and to california. Well now Everyone Has something to respond to how they hate the POPO . Well let the responses begin.......................... Be gentle lol Im actually nice and have never pulled over a fellow Ricer.

Well the only point I have is that Im going to be stuck in my car for a while ( certan circumstances) , so Im just doing a few things I work overtime to pay for it. So its not like Im sacrificing anything, I realize I wont ever be able to pull away from a real Sports car or even a mid-sized sedan such as an Infiniti g35 , Acura Tl, or Nissan Maxima. My only reason in doing it is to increase the Fun/driving factor of my ride. I dont want to have to die in boredom. Just having an exhaust and wheels makes driving that much more fun so thats why I want to do a few small extra's. My old civic was a 97 ex coupe and was running like 170hp with bolton's. It was a stick and felt alot faster, and was alot of fun to drive. Its just nice to see other people on this forum share my opinion.

Hoang's right about the TPMS light. TPMS is so sensitive that even temperature changes will set it off. Because of this, I brought my Si in to their service department when it was new.

Basically, they acted like a bunch of a$$sses, patronized, me, and over-inflated all my tires. It took quite a few tries to get my tires evenly inflated after that. Richard's Honda's service department has been nicer to me, but they are really slow and managed to break one of my TPMS sensors.

As far as your alignment is concerned, do you hear any sounds? When you are driving or turning corners?

:pinkwavey: I'm in Baton Rouge, and I ordered all of my shifter mods from TWM in Canada. They are slow to ship, but their stuff is great quality.
