lol pretty much,
just get a media pass and start ungluing tires that are there on corners for safety ;)

[canakami]

^ Wtf Lol.

[Pantless Spency]

lol i kid.
theres a few shops at infineon where you can find used race tires outside of, and a big rig trailer they fill with used tires.


im told its okay to browse and take what you want, never been told i wasnt supposed to by guys at thew motorsport shops.

I should stop even considering taking advice from you :rofl:. Btw I almost pulled that carpet for you. Are you just gonna cut it around the heater box?

I've never been to infineon. Do you think it'd be worth it/likely to find a pair or set of good tires? It's definitely a bit of a drive.

its hit or miss to be honest.
you might come out and just not find anything in your size.
more often than not there are shaved toyo RA-1's in 205/50/15 but there not always in decent condition.

it might be worth the drive lol.


and im not sure i haven't really looked into it :P

[Vivek]

Yeah that's waaay off from what size i need. I want something around 205.45.17. How far is it from you?

[Pantless Spency]

20 miles each way.
not much really, and i try and go every wednesday.

[Vivek]

Do you think you could check for tires for me the next time you're there? Anything close to what I listed is good (205/40, 195/45, 205/45, maybe 215/40)--all 17".

[Pantless Spency]

yeah definitely br0.

Budget>Quality

get a quote from Oliver and maybe a few other places. then from their work make a decision.

Herb, I think you should strongly consider painting the fender on the car and blending it to match. I've seen way too many panels that were painted individually and don't match the paint well. Your paint is 20+ years old and faded (whether it looks like it or not), there's no way to get a perfect match straight out of a gun.

Just repaint the whole car, you can get close w an optic sampling but hard to get a match
