Very nice wheels. What kind of tire shine do you use?

Thanks -- Black Magic Tire Wet. I actually only bought it because it was on sale, but probably the best tire dressing I've used so far.

where'd the bull bar go Ed?? i noticed it gone not too long ago....

Sitting in my garage -- for sale if you want it=)

I had to take it off for the front GTSpec brace, uses the same mounting place.

I love those new wheels, they look excellent on the FX. Very clean too! Whats next for the titans?

Axis Titan's went to another member here! I'm sad to see them go.

lol. i'm good. i was driving past your place a couple of weeks ago and i thought someone else in the neighborhood had an FX just like yours. looks good with the new hoops though!
 
Ed, have you noticed a difference due to the unsprung weight? I'm sure the Titan is heavier.

Good question. Yes, I definitely felt a difference. The Moda's are actually heavier overall (22"x9.5" Moda's vs 22"x9.0" Titan's), but being a 2 piece (outer ring forged, center spokes low pressure gravity cast), the rotating mass is less, enough so I can feel it during acceleration and deceleration.

I like two piece forged vs three piece forged due to possibly having to service the inner bead where the outer ring is split into two. I'm sure people have their own comments but that's mine. My friend's 3 piece wheel had a slow leak after 2-3 years, but then again, that's 2-3 years of use. He just had to take the tire off and re-service the bead and no leak.
 
Sound clips?
& Quite dirty in there

Hahah, yeah. Been busy doing installs vs cleaning.

I'll try this weekend for sound clips.

Another intake Ed! Let me know what you think of this one.

My favorite intake so far. Drove about 1,000 miles on it and +1 mpg, and great sound at wide open throttle. No MAF issues.
 
Okay, cleaned my Jeg's air/oil separator. I highly suggest getting one if someone doesn't, amazing how much oil this actual collects:

Time for winter tires, temperature is finally consistently under 45 degrees F. I finally get to use my OZ Canyon ST for the first time:
