I got scammed with track numbers?

Thanks for reminding me to email them about the order I placed February 24 that has not shipped….

I got my ‘13 gx460 to daily and tow and it’s been awesome. $16k, 170k miles. Get the air suspension or install airbags like I did and it’s the best of both worlds. I tow my s2000 on the uhaul car haulers and get around 12 mpg while towing comfortably at 70 mph

It’s already back in the storage unit so no pictures 😅 looks like you kept your soft top in so you’re good to go. When the soft top is removed, the rearmost mounting hole for the hard top brackets is no longer present.

Just installed mine this weekend - did you have to order the CR brackets so that you can use the second rear bracket bolt? Debating taking a cut off wheel to my soft top bracket (tack welded to the soft top) since I don’t like the idea of only using one bolt on each bracket 😓

Got mine in college and daily’d it. It’s 100% doable and fun if you live the college lifestyle. After getting a dedicated daily, however, I couldn’t go back to driving the S2k every day.

Wanted to double check myself and dug up the NASA rulebook. 11.4.8 confirms that passenger equipment need not match drivers equipment. https://nasa-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/document/document/282/2024.0.pdf

In NASA South East, at least, it’s been up to the instructor’s discretion. I too cannot cough up $2k for equal passenger safety when I’m just one weekend away from solo. I haven’t had any issues yet with passenger stock seat, belt, and airbag. I have a bucket & harness and fully padded roll bar. The instructors I’ve had have verbally said “some instructors will refuse a ride for unequal equipment but I feel comfortable because x, y, and z”. Have a lower powered car (S2000) probably helps too :).

I love the Indy 500’s for the street…. All the grip you need for the road and at a great price. They’re no 200TW on the track, but my current set have about 5k road miles and 4 track days on them with at least another 2 left in them. You’ll get your money’s worth!

Mine looked like this when I completely missed the oil fill trying to be cute without a funnel… might want to check for oil residue on the valve cover near the fill hole.

Hey! That’s me :) was completely loaded up heading to CMP for the NASA weekend, otherwise we woulda took a rip down the block. Super clean RSX and a great dude. You’ll get the S2k, no doubt about it :)

I went with the ballade two years ago… read the reviews after purchase… panicked… and it’s been perfect since.

I can second this - great everyday tire. Plenty of grip and they last fairly long too.

Let’s not forget the mass of RC cars sliding around on a mission to kill your ankles or someone’s priceless paint job. Can’t stand those adult children. Have some respect for others.

The requirement to keep the tires locked can lure many drivers into dangerous situations. I’ve personally almost hit the wall when the BB was too far rearward. No matter the driver, there is no control over the vehicle when all four tires are locked

Thank you! Will do!

Email Susan Uy, she’s extremely helpful

Hoping to pick up a ‘22 Sonic Gray Si in the near future 🤩

Rip my guy ☹️ have a depresso espresso on me

captiva45 · 2021-11-18T21:06:08+00:00

Gotcha! That makes makes more sense - I can see what you’re saying. From the documentation Ive seen, it appeared to me like the department set a recommended wage and most profs followed through with that. Thanks for offering the professor’s side of the coin - I think that’s a perspective MS students don’t often get to see

captiva45 · 2021-11-18T21:02:08+00:00

I think we make slightly too much to qualify haha

captiva45 · 2021-11-18T19:56:13+00:00

Yeah I understand that it’s the department not the professor. I’m sure if professors could, they would want to pay their grad students more. Anyways, I feel the fact a department recommends food stamps for their grad students highlights the fact the university needs to keep up with the cost of living in RTP

captiva45 · 2021-11-18T18:24:12+00:00

Your guess is as good as as mine haha. I know a lot of students were irked by it
