At most I get around 13-12 gallons into mine as well.

How about Red Robin, the one up in Northgate? ;)



When I bought my car, the previous owner included Depo smilies in the sale. I have US ellipsoids right now, but all the glass are cracked. Is it worth it to put those Depo smilies in? Is there a noticeable output difference?

Washington has one of the highest average gas prices in the country, I think.

It's all that gas tax, mang.

thats why we have such great roads

in response to your other questions about the depo lights, as much as i hate my angel eyes, the fact that i have HIDs makes it hard for me to change em out. eventually id like to just get some euro smilies that are also H1 so i can keep the HID and throw the angel eye crap in the garbage

overall, the output is pretty good, i just need to find a way to leave them on wit the high beams so i can have major lighting when im blasting on the backroads late at night. with vws, a euro headlight switch would solve the problem, same here or no?

Jumping relays solves your problem

Widebodye30 sells depo smilies on the boards as well.

200shipped for smoked
180 shipped for nonsmoked ones

I heard quality and light output is spot on!!

[AbeSonic]

Well yeah the light output should be the same. They are a copy of the original after all. However I have heard they are terrible with getting moisture inside. In other words, they are not PNW proof.

I've heard different with his, but you never know.

Well my car runs! Starts up great!

The problem was I had mixed up the two connectors near the big round diagnostic port. So after calling Luke he said switch those and see what happens... well it started!

The throttle body plate on the intake manifold though... damn thing holding everything up. The powder coater coated the threads and TWO bolts have broken off in them. I tried drilling the one out but sort of failed... the other havnt done anything too yet. FML

Oh... and can this stuff be used as coolant hose? The hoses that go to the Throttle Body Heater Plate I took the one off the back of the block and just put it straight onto the thermostat where the other goes. It was barely long enough, but is now leaking so it will be replaced. Replacement hose in question: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...0887&ppt=C0222

Wtf gas is around 3.70 reg and 4.00 for premium around here.

Gas in bremerton is 3.59 for Shell regular...

3.53 regular
3.66 plus
3.79 premium
From the shell across the street from my job.

Washington is just bigger overall than Oregon as well. Just farm land down here, and country folk so they can't get to wild with the gas prices.

What does a set of 4x100 weaves go for these days?

[kid325e]

Depends on the size. I wouldn't spend more than 200-350 on a set of clean stock 14" weaves. I wouldn't spend more than 400-450 on a set of clean, minty, 15" ix weaves. That's just me though.

[IronJoe]

So only the IX weaves were 15"?
