I kinda like that thing...Whatever it is..

If you didn't change the headers, you still have the two primary cats on there as they are part of the header, and not a separate piece. There is a secondary cat that is inside of the exhaust box. I'm also guessing that if you didn't change the headers, and only did the exhaust box, that you probably only lost ~50 lbs. I feel like the stock exhaust weighed ~80 lbs. Your pipes, as simple as they are, probably weigh in ~25-30lbs. It's still a good savings, and it sounds good!

I'm going with the favorites for the top 3 fights. Like you, I'll take Belcher. Then I'll take Leben, Guillard, and Johnson. It actually looks like a good night of fights. I was watching UFC unleashed last night, and they had on the Cain vs Brock fight on...That was a pretty good fight for the 4 minutes it lasted. They were really blasting each other. They also had on the JDS vs Shane Carwin - and JDS boxing skills were light years ahead of Shane (which is why half of Shanes face was falling off at the end of the match). So tomorrow if it stays upright, JDS should win...If it goes to the ground, who knows...Don't know if I've ever seen JDS on the ground for any length.

Wiggs - did you change the headers?

Yeah, check the paint...If it looks good it was likely well cared for. Nissan/Infiniti have THE WORST paint on the planet, so as long as it's held up, it's probably good to go. With that said, G35's are good. I am on the 3rd G35x/G37xS for my wife and they are great. While she hasn't taken them up to 90k, she did put ~45k on each of the first two, and neither one was ever in the shop for anything. The third one I just picked up for her only has about 2k on it so far, and feels just as good as the other two.

How old and how many miles? I don't think I'd worry about it at all. My H2 is almost 6 years old, and I drive it EVERY day here in the North East - rain, snow, salt, whatever...It's out there... I use it to tow my track cars in the summer, and use it to tow my snowmobiles up North (upstate NY and Canada) in the winters. Over 100k and I don't see any significant rust anywhere on that truck. (It doesn't break down, either, so I'll literally keep this one until it dies!).

HELP.... me decide new brake caliper colors for GTR!
Turbo50Mike replied to NRG x Lambo's topic in Archived Content
Yes. Broadway painted them from the original gold, to the current Verde. -
lol...That's why I redid the interior as soon as I got it!

My last clutch snap was at ~15 or 18k when I had the window switch changed...It was at ~85% left on the clutch. Where in NJ?? We are always out and about...I am in Bergen County near NYC. We all bow to you! Boldly going where no other Lambo owner has gone!! Pssssss....It's in his avatar!
-
I dunno yet...Always looking for something new, but this car has been good to me so far. Nothing out there right now gets me too excited.
-
No shit! The only thing the 560 has needed has been a window switch (which was covered under warranty, and took all of 3 minutes to change).

It was murrrrrderrrrr, Sam!!!!!!!

That is great! I would think with E85 you should be able to get a ~10.0 if the launch was ideal! -

I put mine on a piece of clear laminate and I keep it with the reg and insurance cards. I've only had one cop notice that my car didn't even have a sticker, and when I told him I had the inspection sticker right here with the reg and insurance, he said "You can't do that!". I said, "But I am, and the car is inspected, insured, and all my paperwork is up to date, so why not?" But he didn't give me a ticket for anything. I think he was just so confused or something.

Tinted side markers(front and rear) Question
Turbo50Mike replied to itsjinx's topic in Archived Content
On the 04-08s they come out if you remove the fender liner and unbolt them. On the 560's the fronts are difficult to remove, the rears are the same IIRC. P.S. I wouldn't use the film tint on them, looks cheesy. I'd bring them to a body shop - I believe they use a mix of black paint and clear coat to tint them, and it will look mint! -
Oh, crap...I messed that up... Then that is REALLY good for an 08! The clutches may be similar in construction/material, but the electronics on the 08 are still the Magneti Marelli crap. The 09+ cars with Bosch seem to have a large advantage when it comes to reducing clutch wear.
-
The 560/50/70s are on another level...They are great cars.
-
If you were only closer! (Or actually, I would prefer your weather, so if only I were closer!) But Sean Ivey is building it, so no worries there. It will be good to go soon enough.
-
fcuk them...We want YOU to make it! (Actually, it's a cool song, and hope they can give you a hook up!)
-
Nice! Good stuff, Russ! It would have been a funny ending if neither one of you guys put milk in your coffee! lol

HBD, Allen! Hope you find a nice GTR so you can treat yourself to something nice!
