    Heard there's going to be a C&C in Raleigh this Sat. How y'all feel about meeting up there then getting lunch somewhere?

    Short notice, but thought it'd work as for meet as good as anything else. Plus, we can tell S2K owners how nice their new Miatas look.

    He did, they sold pretty quick after you last asked about them. Now we're stocking up on 15x7's. What brakes are you running on your car? We're like our DTC-60's and HT-10's but we would like to find something that lasts longer and works better in the rain.The car is coming along though, it's stripped! You can pick up the front of the car and roll it around like a wheel barrow.



    Took 60 pounds of sound deadening out!



    Welder arrived last week, used it to put the tubing bender together. Steel plate and tubing arrives tomorrow.

    Nice!

    I use PF pads up front when I track the car. I have had good experience with them in the e30. Great initial bite, very little to no fading. They eat rotors, cake the wheels, so just keep an eye on the layer that forms on there to prevent caking/unbalancing.

    I stepped down from 18 to 6 after the first week. I found a flavor I prefer, too. I plan to step down to 3 at my next purchase, then zero a couple weeks after that. It has been a fairly good transition so far.

    I forgot how sensitive my smell becomes when quitting. I notice scents far more than before, flavors, too. I was walking downtown last Saturday night and I could smell cigarettes people were smoking about 20-30 feet away.

    I secured an extra set of 15x7 wheels through the NC e30 group. They are TRM C1s. I had my sights set on a set of TDR Pro Race 1.2 in the same size in Mebane, but the seller didn't show. No big deal.

    If anyone has a line on 205/50-15 r-comps please let me know! Looking for scubs or stickers, not blued, cycled out carcasses.

    Would also be interested in a set of extreme performance tires in the same size. Rivals, RS3s, Nt05, Star Specs, etc.

    I have a guy at work who is a smoker that comes in on second shift and when he comes in to take my place ohh i smell the cigarette smell. Makes me want one lol. I use two different flavors so i dont get use to just one. I switch between apple pie flavor and watermellon flavor and like the way they bolth taste and in the house its like im burning an inscent lol.

    My wife has a bunch of flavors and different e-cig variants. I stick to one from a shop she visits a lot near 5 Points in Raleigh. It tastes more closely to tobacco, I suppose. I am not a fan of the custard or sweet ones. I tried a coffee flavored one, but it wasn't something I could use all day.

    I tried a marlboro flavor when i first started and to be honest it tasted like i found a cigarette that had been hiding under a sofa cushion for two months. It was so stale tasting i could not handle it. I think because of all the soda i am use to drinking the sweetness is something i seem to handle well.

    Similar experience. I tried one that was supposed taste like a cigarette, but tasted like a re-lit butt.

    I guess the flavor I use is sort of like carmelized sugar with a little vanilla and cinnamon. It doesn't taste sweet though. Hard to describe.
