Brian - no helmet unless you run an 8.0 or faster. So you can spend the 300-400 on something else for now

I have spent $40 bucks so far this winter on mods.
Where does all my money go?
I paid my car off today.
Congrats. If not for all my mods I'd be pretty close to paying my car off. Oh well. It'll be paid off at some point.

What was your fastest time (before the gears, DS, etc.) at that track?

If you want the pedals, e-mail Jeff Silva (js@autovation.net) and ask if there are any Group Buys going on.. you never know til you ask.

Full face helmet sounds hot and sweaty.
I wore one when I had street bikes.

I've been detailing my car all day. Pretty much since the sun came up. Should be a full day again tomorrow. There should be some good pics when I'm done though.

Cool! And you haven't even technically spent the $40, yet!

Brian-Why a full face helmet? You can get a simple open face for $60. Why spend money on a helmet you'll only wear at the track? Only reason I'd get a good badass looking one would be if I had a bike.

That's what I started out my day doing. Then I had to get dad's car washed. I'll work on mine tomorrow. I finally bought some NXT wax and extreme tire gel, so we'll see how it goes.

I like full face helmets myself. You can use them for more, and they look cooler. Besides, they're really not that hot anymore, there's many helmets with lotsa venting, so they're not bad
Whew, done for now. Oh yeah, and congrats on paying off your car!

full-face helmet... gotta keep my mug looking great.

Really if I want a helmet and I have to buy one it's going to be full face. I've never liked open faced helmets, ever. They may be cooler, temp wise, and cheaper but I'm pretty hard-headed, HA, about this.

Only 387, almost as much as a a/f gauge


karman MANY Congrats Can't wait for the day for my payments to be nil.

Sweet! Did you get the original NXT or the 2.0? I just used the extreme gel myself today.

I detailed my car yesterday, too.

I'm going to try to keep it clean until FoF so I only have to do minor touch-ups.
