<0> peerce : nothing like a gamble with ones own life eh?
<1> peerce nothing better than hitting the brakes on the hot day and sliding on ice.
<2> but, actually, every 2-3 sets of tires on a car, I like to rotate one through the spare
<0> haa
<2> ***uming you HAVE a standard sized spare, anyways
<0> i haven't rotated the tires on my buick in .. about uhm.. can't remember when i got the car... nm
<0> man.. ****ing donuts are worthless
<3> ive never rotated the tires. ever.
<0> specially on a big car
<1> i rotate every oil change.
<0> wow
<0> that's a little over-ambitious for me
<0> i rotate the tires when i wear the old ones out
<0> hehe
<4> ****ing calculators
<1> i'm spending 180-240 per tire usually :(
<4> i dont know how to add and subtract in my ****ing head
<5> It's a SPARE. Its intended to get you someplace where you can get the tire repaired/replaced. If you have expensive mags you don't want to be mounting/dismounting a full-sized spare onto the mags anyway
<5> and if you want a $500 mag in your trunk on your spare, well, I guess you ahve more money than I do
<3> wow thats pricey. when i would get tires for the jeep, i could get em about as cheap as $40 apiece (235/75/15)
<6> peerce i disabled video hardware acceleration and it still didnt work..
<7> get runflat tires
<7> and a pressure monitor
<8> and did you hae to replace them twice/year? :)
<0> z0grinch: hella cheap tires baby, me too
<0> $40 bfgoodrich tires at sams club
<3> i dont know how much this little subarus tires are gonna cost to repair, hopefully not much. little compact sedan.
<3> err replace?
<3> yea
<0> 205/75/R14
<7> what kinda subaru
<2> we have a OEM mag for the spare on our old volvo, but thats cuz its a rim that got a bit bent on a pothole, and insurance replaced it.
<3> legacy
<7> prolly not that much
<2> z0grinch; older legacy probably has cheaper tires, newer legacy GT oculd be $$$
<0> meh
<2> what year legacy?
<3> 95
<0> i just got a ****ty steel rim and a ****ty tire that wasn't rotted or worn out at a junkyard for $20
<0> that's the spare in MY trunk
<3> its a very boring looking car, i cant imagine it being too exotic :D
<2> 4 models, legacy L, legacy sport, legacy sport wagon, legacy wagon, loooks like.
<2> which ?
<3> hell if i know. heh
<3> :D
<2> wagon or sedan?
<2> [the sedan was kind of a hatchback IIRC]
<3> its shaped like a corolla.... sedan i suppose.
<0> it just dawned on me
<3> im hungry
<0> i turned this channel into #cars with one stupid comment
<2> ok, sport sedan uses 195/60-15, legacy L sedan is 185/70-14
<2> the latter is a lot cheaper :D
<0> peerce some are kinda interchangeable aren't they? in a pinch i mean
<2> 15 and 14 sure aren't :D
<0> i.e. my tires are all 195/75's and i have a 205/75 for a spare
<2> and, you gotta be way careful changing tire sizes on FWD/AWD cards
<0> well.. aside from radius obviously
<2> if you ever have to mount that spare, your car will drive like **** and pull to one side hard
<0> well
<3> why is it so important to check tire size on awd? is the center differential not a limited slip variety?
<0> it does anyways
<2> AWD like subaru are still primarily FWD
<2> the RW are mostly just for when you're sliding and slipping
<0> i had it aligned and didn't save the receipt so i couldn't do much about it after that
<2> if you change the tire outside diameter, you really mess up the steering geometry, and it will drive like a truck, ro become really skittish
<0> cause it still drove itself off the road after it was aligned
<0> hehe
<2> if you change the 'wheel offset' (thats how far in or out the tire centerline is), ditto
<0> i should find some old bias ply tires
<0> those outta stiffen up the ride a little
<2> arthr: sounds like you got a twisted frame
<0> in the arthrdent book of car repair mixing radials and bias tires is A-OKAY!
<0> peerce.. heh, i wouldn't put it past my car to have a twisted frame
<0> for a while the front calipers were sticking so i replaced those, and the rotors, but that only helped marginally
<2> z0grinch; kumho's are like $50 each for either of those sizes, not bad.
<0> hey peerce, this might sound kinda newbie-ish but, how are hoosier brand tires?
<2> yokohama, slightly more. bridgestone, etc etc... michelin can probably get you up to $100
<3> oh man, i know this cars gonna need a pretty major brake job pretty soon... theres no re-turning these rotors.
<2> hoosiers are moslty hotrod/racing tires
<2> for muscle cars
<0> my roadrunner came with white lettered hoosier's they looked fancy but i kinda debated replacing cause i never heard of em
<3> Yeah i worked with a guy who had a set of Hoosier slicks for drag racing at the track.
<0> heh..
<0> well at least now i know
<2> you gotta full sized confederate flag applique on the rear window?
<0> i was thinking they were cheapie generic tires
<2> that goes well with hoosiers :D
<0> haha
<0> no.. but.. the guy i bought it off of was a character
<7> heh
<1> peerce, speaking of carefully changeing tires i had an eagle talon TSI awd.. it would EAT tires.. lol had to replace all four at once or it roll smooth.
<7> does it have a gun rack?
<0> he *tried* to make it fancy but did it all half ***
<0> i.e. he took off manifolds and put headers on, but failed to complete the process with actual mounts.. so they whole exhaust system is hung by steel wires and coathangers
<7> lol
<0> i dread tackling that project
<0> and i had to replace a lot of zip tied **** with actual hose clamps and brackets under the hood
<1> ArthrDent, when you have the right tools its that much easier.. I'm always on the look our for a sears/craftsman sale. then when i pick up.
<7> i'm gonna haev to buy a paint system
<7> and a bunch of air tools
<0> heh
<0> gimp cow i never took you to be the artistic type
<0> how refreshing
<0> :P
<7> i'm not
<7> i've never painted a goddamn car
<3> i remember this one day, driving down the highway in the jeep, it was starting to get loud progressively over the past few months, suddenly, i hit a bump and something went *clang* then the car got REALLY loud, and i looked in the rearview mirror, and the entire exhaust system, from the manifold to the tailpipe, was laying on the highway
<0> haa
<7> but like i said last night when i was drunk
<7> i watch the discovery channel
<1> Gimp-Cow, air tools are next, i can't wait.. but other things are on the list before that.. like the new roof getting put on in april.
<0> z0grinch.. ahhh!! you got me beat
<0> i had everything from the catalytic converter BACK fall off my buick last winder
<0> winter
<0> i was on my way to work but i was so pissed i just drove it like that anyways, and everything pretzel'ed itself around the rear axle
<7> lol
<3> god was that car loud without all that equipment
<0> i'll never forget the look on peoples faces when i stopped at a gas station, **** dragging all under my car
<3> i was ashamed to park it in my development, i parked it down the street for the night
<0> Gimp-Cow, just submit your car to pimp my ride
<0> let them do the work for you
<7> heh
<7> no
<7> cause west coast customs would do it ****ty
<7> overhaulin maybe
<0> haha.. yeah my buick only has a 3.8L so it wasn't horribly loud with everything fallen off it
<0> lol
<3> i took advice from one guy at work as a quick-fix once... take a campbells soup can, cut it in half, put the two halves over the break in the exhaust line, tie down with pipe clamps. lasts a few months, till the soup can rusts out.
<7> hmm
<9> anyone used windows live safety center yet?
<7> paint sprayers aren't that expensive
<7> $70
<0> paint is pricey tho
<0> $100 for a litre or something?
<3> wagner?
<0> can't remember now
<7> i dunno dent
<7> i'm prolly gonna roll with house of Kolor
<2> z0grinch; they SELL a higher grade version of that at Kragens/pepboys/etc for about $6, has plated metal that will last longer than a soup can
<7> nah zog, titan or some ****
<0> i wanted to get my buick painted back when i had it pimped out and decided i was too cheap to pay even just $100 for the paint
<0> my buddy said he'd let me use his sprayer
<2> i started my bike once when the muffler was off. OMG, it was loud 1100cc opposed twin, went BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!
<2> at idle
<0> poor webdawg ended up helping me install new **** when my exhaust fell off last winter
<0> lol
<0> the only way we made it through that job was 2 days, 3 blunts, a lot of redbull, and one of those (looks like an aircraft jet engine) heater in his uncle's garage
<0> man that was hell
<0> all the salt and mud dripping in our eyes the whole time, ugh
