OMG, you're right. That's exactly what it is. Too funny.

Yes, and yes. The basement was renovated into a Family Room, with Vossens here and there, LOL.

And the girls mock me pretty good about the car, but I still love 'em.

 

I would consider my fitment flush not Hella flush like some. I love my BCs I put them in myself 5 years ago made it through some bad winters and terrible roads and still can adjust them with the spanner wrenches and pb blaster. Some will say they have had clunking noises and problems but I guess I got lucky. I also get complements from people saying it rides pretty well. I do have front and rear camber kits installed. I don't consider my setup having too much camber either just enough to be noticed I might even want a little more but people tell me it's perfect just the way it is now.

As far as pictures just click my name and search my threads and posts most of them have pix I would link it but I am out right now and typing on my phone lol.

I completely agree with you on the spacer thing I have never run spacers and probably never will that's why I made sure this is the fitment I really wanted maybe just a tad more agressive for my next set up. I had 19x9.5 +35 all around right before and said if I drop the front a little I could probably get away with a lower offset so I measured it out and +25 was perfect for me now

 

Lol just looking at your shelf not being lined up with the T.V. is killing me, i would assume you would have that lined up perfectly John!

 

It kinda looks like it's a wall mount with a telescoping arm which would allow him to move the TV and angle it as needed. Perhaps not, but I've seen some mounts that allow you to move the TV around in multiple planes.

 

G37Xtreme is 100% correct. That old TV is attached to a heavy, articulating wall-mount. It can extend 3 feet from the wall, pivot, rotate, tilt, etc. So when sitting in the basement to watch TV, we can move the TV so it's perfect for wherever we're sitting. But mostly the mount was selected so that we can use the Nintendo Wii along the length of that narrow space, instead of the width. It's actually pretty cool when you see how flexible the wall-mount is.

When pushed back flush to the wall, it is centered to the shelf. And at that point, it hides the coaxial and power outlet. You should have seen what that space looked like before it was renovated. Imagine the original basement on a 90 year old colonial.

Funny pic. On topic to cars, the point of the pic was that I'm staring at my summer wheels all winter long. (sigh)

 

Ah got ya, pretty cool mount i should say. The wheels do look really good in the house, especially with how pristine clean they are. You can always plop the wheel down and you have a unique Vossen Table.

 

I'm still partial to the Vossens in the dinning room.

 

What's the best place to order OEM sport akebono brake pads from?

 

Why would you want OEM pads?

 

Maybe he should have said "genuine sport Akenobo" pads. Is there such a thing?

 

Agreed. Hawk or Stoptech.

LOL. Yeah, that too.

I guess I was pretty excited about these rims last February. Still am, actually. I think they're beautiful.

 

Probably part of the whole CTS-V thing...

 

Huh?

I dont get it. There are better pads available for the same price. Unless you're going to get a CTS-V next week, why deprive yourself of better pedal feel and shorter stopping distances? The NISMO R-Spec pads are OEM and have been shown to reduce 70-0 stops on a 370Z by a car length. And they are far from the best pad available

 

Because all the pads that people claim to be better and **** are either squeaky or produce way too much dust or are too rigid for oem rotors and then wear out those quicker than the pads themselves, which then would require upgraded rotors and what the hell am I gonna do that for? I think oem bbk with oem pads brakes totally fine. I think it's the mod illness talking through you guys, meaning you guys gotta have everything upgraded regardless if its totally sufficient in stock form, unless you track the car.

 

Unless there are OEM-ish brake pads that won't squek and won't produce more break dust and will actually make a difference in braking performance for similar price as OEM sport akebono pads then it's a different story.
