Sorry...I know this is a little late, and probably of little use to you at this point. I have no clue about shops in Charlotte. If you're not opposed to a drive up to Greensboro I'm sure these guys can take care of you...

Blue with flames and orange windows? I've got a few of those. If you're a regular at Publix and pretty cool towards the staff, I'm willing to bet they would let you go through the whole case they have sitting in the back.
Good score Sweet Gympers! I didn't know there were red repaints out of the Mini and F1 car. The red Mini looks better in my opinion than the colors I have. :thumb:
:bighug: Welcome to the site! You're car's looking awesome. You're wheels look great. I've always been a sucker for multi spoke rims. :giggle:
That pic you posted that "sealed the deal" for you was pretty right on the money. It looks pretty beastly with those 949 Racing wheels. :driving:
Nope. I wouldn't be surprised at all by what people will pay for die casts, or action figures. It boggles my mind sometimes, but definitely doesn't surprise me. I don't even want to admit what I've paid for certain loose 1:64 Tomica's, or the custom action figures that I've had commissioned...
FINALLY another die cast dork posts up some pics. I see you like the Cars franchise, so maybe you can help me with a question? I didn't see cars 3, but I know David Hobbes was an announcer in it. Did they ever make his character into a toy, or are they still just cranking out the McQueens, and...
Originally I bought a foot long rod of delrin then cut it in half to make two knobs. So there's another one without the "thumb groove" waiting as a backup if needed. I guess I could connect the two and make a set of "knob-chucks". :giggle:
I know I've posted most of these before, but since the pics were taken in my now destroyed FG2, I decided to take some pics of the knobs in my FA5. Enjoy. :beer:
Sorry for the cruddy pic. This is the stock 8th gen Si knob that never gets used.
Blue stitch/numbers CR-Z 6sp knob
Fatboy...
I refuse to do a night run because my night vision is terrible. If I had quadruple the aftermarket lighting Killboy's running...I MIGHT consider it. Even if a person had all that lighting though, there's not much you can do out of a blind hairpin if a deer or bear are in your way. Better safe...
It's A LOT more fun than my full bolt on FG2. That being said, the FA5 is more temperamental, and has had a lot more gremlins than my FG2. :giggle:
I love it to death though, and won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. :driving:
I added a couple more pics to my other post.
Like most of the people who love racing, I've always wanted a set of highly bolstered, aftermarket, race seats. I never wanted to deal with the airbag light on my dash, and didn't really want to lose the use of some of my airbags JUST so I could have super cool street cred seats.. I realize this...
Thanks, but I can't really take credit for the majority of them. After my first Si was totalled I started hounding an old friend/online colleague NitrousG35 about selling me his car. I knew he kind of wanted to move on to another platform, and eventually (after his wife said ok) we made a deal...
If I go on record and say I'm going, it's harder for me to back out, and that way I avoid the torment from the rest of the NC Crew. :hiding: :escaper:
I always need more practice. I never feel like I really get better because I don't know the lay of the land that well, and I'm always following...
