yes..a matching RS tail is a must or you'll have weird aerodynamics characteristics over 162mph on your daily commute to work. Ask me how I know...

And yes...OEM all the way baby...

This is all very well , but why am I hearing a gurgling sound on start up ? .. Should the coolant be moving around the pipes in this fashion?

Sorry , I should have posted an smiliebhoy.

What brand of coolant do you guys use and do you add it through that lid that pops in front of the driver's side door?

Do you guys have a favorite pair of shoes to drive your 993?

I love my New Balance 992's.

I'm hoping that next year upgrade will have the right number!

I use Zerex. That door you're referring to, that's where the oil goes. Coolant
goes in the back. In the engine compartment there's a metal cap marked
OEL (that means coolant in german). Add coolant there.

Ouch...sorry to hear that.

Yeap..it was just released. Not at stores yet...

New Balance 993 to Replace New Balance 992
Oct 17th, 2008 by

The New Balance 993 is going to hit mid Nov. It is to replace the New Balance 992. The 992 did not fit as well as the 991 did that is why the number upgrade happened so quickly. The 993 promises a better fit, sleeker style and more cushioning.

The pre-order price will be at $139.99, and the shoes will ship on about Nov. 25th to customers.

The link for the pre-order is here
http://www.nbannapolis.com/new_balan...der-p-405.html

On this page you will be able to get a close up view of the shoe, and you will be able to compare it to the 992 which is also located on the site for $109.99 ($30.00 off) marked for close out.

I went out for an "Italian Tune-up" on Tuesday, but it didn't work.

Why would we want a reduced price 992 when a 993 is available? That's like buying a 964...I think.
New Balance Web Express said I should get them this next week, but who really knows about these shoe things anyway. The engineers may be holding back release because of tread design...hydroplaning or uneven tread wear or some such nonsense.
