This car looks familiar, is that Domenic's car Lucent... or it my just look like it.

 

OUCH!

 

I was just about to ask the same thing. Looks just like Domenic's car. If not, I wouldn't have ever thought that I'd see another one like it.

Domenic, if you are reading, you car looks SWEET! If that's how my wheels will look on my car, I'm gonna be really happy....I ordered the same ones.

 

Oh man, I didn't read what everyone else said....but I am S O R R Y! This **** sucks, and feels useless, but you will have your car fixed and back under your *** ready to tear the roads up in a few. Just look out for that sunny day

 

YEP that's D's car the pic he sent me. looks sweet that's Y i post it.

 

new tires = slick

Many don't notice, but new tires generally still have a coating of mold release compound that takes a while to wear off.

From tire rack's website:

Tires are comprised of many layers of rubber, steel and fabric. Due to these different components, your new tires require a "break-in" period to ensure that they deliver their normal ride quality and maximum performance. As tires are cured, a "release lubricant" is applied to prevent them from sticking in their mold. Some of the lubricant stays on the surface of your tires, reducing traction until it is worn away. Five hundred miles of easy acceleration, cornering and braking will allow the mold release lubricant to wear off, allowing the other tire components to begin working together. It is also important to note that your old tires probably had very little tread depth remaining when you felt it was time to replace them. As any autocrosser or racer who has tread rubber shaved off of his tires will tell you "low tread depth tires respond quicker." Don't be surprised if your new tires are a little slower to respond (even if you use the exact same tire as before). Their new, full depth brings with it a little more tread squirm until they wear down.

 

The tires were fine, they had 1800 miles on them.

 

During mounting a coat of grease is applied to the rim of the tires. Just making excuse for you man! Conti isn't known for the best grip in comparison to other N spec tires.

Yeah right, we all know what happened... Just fix da sh*t up. Get a GT3 bumper and replace those suspension pieces.

 

I thought you ordered Work VS-XX?? Those look like cargraphics...

 

yup that's dom's car alright! those are work's albert..... lol he got it i thikn from the rennworx dude ....

 

Yep, those are the VS-XXs. I talked to him a few times at the dealership and I remember him saying that he was going to get them....

the wheels are in, just figuring out a time to go put them on....the wait is killing me!!

 

After taking a close look at the rivets, I can tell they're the VS-XX now...with the Porsche Center Cap and that angle they look A LOT like the cargraphics...

Jeff, make the time to install your stuff! Before the SD meet.

 

The problem existed between the steering wheel and the seat.

Got some more pics today. What a mess.

 

from behind the wheel..
