Fixed it for you. They has some sort of copy protection so I just hit print screen and pasted them into paint. Had to crop them but they work now. Now hosted with www.imageshack.us

Nice car, I've always liked DSM's.

Yeah, I guess in about a week I should be able to also post in the ol' Turbo AWD section as well. :thumbleft:

In the meantime, not having a drivable car sucks ass...

Well the Talon made it to Gardena today. I just need to figure out how to go get it. Anyone in LA want to give me a ride from Union Station to Gardena? :thumbleft:

The V should be here the middle of next week. I HATE bumming rides from people, so I can't wait to get them. It will be interesting when I go to the garage in the morning to see what gets picked more often to drive.

Big powerful luxury car or small powerful sports car. Decisions Decisions.

I usually go for the GTR regardless of what is in the driveway.

The pictures I have thus far really suck. The Talon I picked up in LA on Saturday and the V just got here tonight (really dirty).

So I haven't really driven the V since the first week I got it. The engine mounts are really bad. It sucks because UUC should have poly mounts available within about 3 to 4 weeks. So close yet so far away. The Talon is also down, so I've been having to catch rides again. Ugh...

I'm going to start a thread in the turbo AWD section for the Talon.

Wow, looks like the V had a woman driver with long nails and big rings. Lots of damage to the knobs and trim....

How many miles on it? I've heard the stock motor mounts are shitty.


What is happeneing with your other V? Parting it out?

It has 76,000 miles on it. And yeah, some people have gone through multiple sets of stock engine mounts.

The chipping on the buttons is fairly common too. I had my old nav replaced for the same thing (obviously it wasn't this bad though).

As for the old V, I plan to part it out but haven't had a chance to do anything with it since I've been too busy with these cars.

Well, if you do part it out let me have a crack at some of the parts. I would really like the NAV for one thing.

I'll definatly keep you in mind, but as a heads up I saw one that the dvd/nav slot didn't even work sell on the cadi forums classifieds for over $500.

Well I do realize how much they go for. As long as I can convince the wife that we need it I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Okay cool. Just wanted to make sure.

I always used to think navs were kind of unneccesary, but once you have it there's no going back. You do need one. :thumbleft:

I just have to decide on whether or not I want to swap mine and sell the chipped paint one or not. The one in the wrecked V had barely a weeks worth of use.

Well you will definitly get less money for the worn one.

I'm hoping it's a plug and play swap, need to read up on it.
