Fuck me.

[ak-]

just leave it.
not like you're getting contact patch there anyway.

Thats a sweet wood screw!
But seriously....leave it there.

[mbonanni]

Take it to a shop and get it fixed.

Meh. I raced on my star specs, and drove on them for 6 months with a screw in the tire :) Never even lost air.

[Vivek]

I'm leaving it lol. If it starts to leak i'll squirt a bit of fix a flat in there. Bought a parts car today:
Stripped out the interior and got the hood off (was hit in the front and it was stuck)

Do I smell m20 swap?

Do I smell turbo m20 swap?

fixed

And the answer better be yes.

[Vivek]

I was thinking about it, but I really, really like my m42 for some reason. My dad's m20 is certainly faster, but it's not nearly as responsive and fun to throw around. Cabriolet already wants the entire driveline too, so probably no turbo m20 for me. It would be really fun though, and it'd be tons of power.

[Vivek]

Btw anyone know what wheels these are?

[FunfGan]

I can respect that. The m42 is definitely a great engine when done up right. Wish I had passed on the 5.0 swap and just slapped some itb's on her!

Do you really? I was thinking about what I could/should do, but any individual think (cam, 11:1 pistons, ITB's, etc) costs nearly as much as an m52 swap if I get the engine from pnp and mostly rebuild it (because i'd probably mostly rebuild my m42 at the same time).

Your tire is easy to fix.

The only problem I'd see is that I'm almost positive that that part of the tire is technically the sidewall since it's past all the metal bands. A very similar thing happened on my dad's m3, and he tried to patch it but ended up spending 600 bucks on new tires.
