nice…

ill have to take your word for it on the backflip cause all i can see is the glare from the slope light lol.

you selling that sparco steering wheel?

no, where did you get that idea?

I know, it’s not the greatest vid but it’s better than NOTHING. :smiley:

Tokyo drift?

Damnit. Totally went over my head.

Newman, I had no idea you were an accomplished boarder. If you’re ever closer to the ADKS let me know. Compared to WNY it doesn’t get much better than around here… unless of course you head out west.

Also… getting back to the “gold” IC… is it possible to do a gold chrome or copper dip. I know people were talking paint, which is a horrible idea IMO… but would a gold dip be a possibility?

LOLLLLLL

I’m usually pretty average/decent at anything physical that I try to do.

Drums, snowboarding, skateboarding…

I’m trying to get out to VT this year…

As for the IC, I am going to try and see how it looks in silver, if it look bad, I’ll see if I can change it up… Getting it plated would probably not hurt the efficiency much.

Stowe VT just got 22" of freshi the past few days. I’m talking waist deep in the tree’s. With the exception of maybe Jay Peak, VT, Stowe is truly the best in the East.

Needless to say, i’ll be heading back this weekend. If you can make it this year, DO IT!

I’ve never been to stowe, but I think it would be hard to say that it’s the best. I’ve been to 3 or 4 mountains in VT. I think they all rock, but some are better for certain things than others.

The parks at killington were awesome

The advanced terrain at Smuggler’s Notch was just insane.

I’ve been to them all man. I grew up in the Adirondacks and usually go between 35-40 times a winter. Of course every mountain has it specialties. Killington: super big… Mount Snow: Best parks hands down… Jay: Epic conditions every time I have went… but I can honestly say between the glades, snow amounts, parks, groomers, Stowe is OVERALL the best IMO.

Remember opinions are like assholes, and of course I really enjoy any mountain I go to, and mixing it up is always fun!

ive been to killington and the parks there are awsome…my next door neighbor just came back from there a couple days ago and he said it was amazing this year so if you want to hit that up :tup:

so about that IC piping, if you dont like it in silver are you going to plate it silver or powdercoat it a different color?

The piping will probably stay silver. I like the look in the engine bay. The IC, though, is very visible, it would need to get plated though, not powdercoated.

Personally as nice as Killington is, I don’t enjoy going there because it’s always overrun with vacationers. It’s like Killington is the only mountain people not familiar with this area know of. Mad annoying.

Dip the FMIC in GOLD!

Do this or you’re a poor.

Some sort of gold looking coating would be badass…black chrome is awesome too
