  1. So I recently saw the Ascent at an auto show and it was overall decent (3rd row had decent room) but then I sat in the Mazda CX-9 and that made the Ascent seem like a Lada, in comparision to the Mazda.

    The CX-9 dash, interior was sleek and the seats were soft and comfier cushions. It impressed me to the point that it felt like an Audi. 3rd row in the CX9 was a little less wide than the ascent and less head room too but much better seating surface and cushioning.

    The one thing that really makes the case for the ascent is the Eyesight system and its benefits.

     

    I really would like you folks, opinion on the Mazda's AWD system keeping in mind I am in Dallas and we wont see bad weather as frequently as when we were in MN.

  2. AP 600

    Rims Tires 1400

    DP 400

    Up 150

    Gaskets 100

    SPT intake 100

     

    ~$3000

     

    I will only spend more on brakes and thats it. Any more and i will just trade it in and get me 335ix or something else. No point keeping on pumping money on an already quickly depreciating vehicle. Not to mention that the creaks, rattles, chips, scratches keep getting bigger and bigger.

     

    My sympathies to those that spent more that $6000 on their Leggies.

  3. OK so a bit off topic but any of you guys interested in getting XPEL or 3M protective film installed on your vehicles?

    I called around and asked for a group install pricing and heres what I found.

     

    - Kit cost to dealer/professional installer = half of retail

    -2 seperate Kits:

    1. Hood Fender Mirror (retail cost for material $250)

    2. Bumper (retail cost for material $340)

     

    This installer i spoke with gets them at half price. approx $300

    With 3-4 hours of labor per car and other costs etc, total group cost would be $600 for installing both kits as opposed to $750 otherwise.

     

    She does it mobile and prefers doing them 1st thing in the morning. I want 3-4 people interested to get this group pricing. Let me know if ur interested. My bumper is taking a decent beating and I want to stop it from getting worse, group buy or not

     

    Also Headlamps would be an additional $50.

  4. Yea the driver side bulb went out just yesterday.I'm not going to the stealer for it, but the local autozone and replace it myself. I'll keep a spare one for the future. Maybe a good time for the DRL disable mod.

     

    Nice to see you all...lets make a habit of this.

  5. *Tallies up ...*

     

    We've got 4 rounds covered so far! :lol:

    Trig's gonna be drinkin Water with Lime like always.....so if i'm nice to him....he'll let me have his share of the OH group.....i got 8 rounds covered now he he

  6. -Yea Deserters get to buy 1st round

    -last one to show up gets to buy a round (note to self ...show up early)

    -and the 2 people with the faster3st cars at the venue get to but a round.

    (essentially Mr.T and Bikerboy)

     

    Oh and I'll hv a few questions on turbo upgrade options...the kind of turbo that dont kill my 5EAT.

     

    And i'll bring a few copies of my new mix in case anyone needs to stay awake on their drive back.....nothing like my train-wrecking skills to keep ur drunk self awake :lol:...nah i'm not that bad...i think!!!

  7. I've never been there...but my boss n some other co-workers were there y'day after some Microsux Meeting on Normandale. They said they decided to keep the comments in there conversations to 5 seconds or less...on account of the hot girls walking around.

    I cant believe this place has been kept secret from me for so long....AARRGGHH

     

    If u say it will be average at Majors on Sat, i can go with whatever, i dont want be the 'difficult' one in the group LOL

  8. I work at UHG in Golden Valley and I sometimes see a RB GT sedan. Wonder if they guy you see sometimes comes over here?

     

    Awesome....at least 3 LGT's at UHG.

    Next time we meet...remind me to say 'sup hommie' to you :lol:

     

    I'm a SQL DBA with UHT....urself ?

  9. Just today i installed the 06 MP3 unit in my 05 car.

     

    Everything works fine but I am upset over the fact that ID3 tags/Text does not scroll. Freakin' cant trust panasonic to do shit right. No wonder I boycotted their digital turntables and went all PIONEER.

     

    The other thing that i find alarming is that when u have ur headlights on and u press the little button on the left of the INFO DISPLAY unit below the CUBBY to get extra brightness....well there is a slight lag between the time the dash lights-up brighter and the stereo lights-up brighter. I dont think it was the case with my old stereo....but i could be mistaken.

     

    My sound has improved slightly. especialy the mid and high on the factory speakers.

  10. Yamie, that is one sharp looking wagon...

     

     

    I 2nd that - the grill and the tint on that RBP look sweet. OH not to forget the LGT.com sticker.

     

     

    So Twisted, how was your drive in RFD's car? Comments?

     

    Not too much drama on the turns like mine.My car with stock parts is very floaty. Rich's car was quite a bit firm but not a harsh ride by any means.

    Felt tight w/o compromising on comfort. It should have come from the factory that way.

    Stage 2, new tires and Rich is all set for track days, i'd say.

     

    So Rich, got any pics for me, of the Springs u got sitting around ? :)
