If you want, ill bring out the jack and torque wrench to swap

Just feeling the compound, they are super super soft. Treadwear is rated at 200, but i doubt it'll last for more then 4..5 events.

I talked to Mike today and he said you might be visiting LTBMW friday to setup your coils for track. He said he might stop by too and stiffen his up as well. Let me know if you guys go, i'd be nice to drop by and hang out. Vicky wants to turn her v2's a few clicks to stiffen up as well. Maybe ill just bring her car.

Purple All Sectors · 11-20-2008, 02:43 AM

fo sho. my tire gauge is a little off. do you have a pretty good tire gauge. actually do you know where to get a good tire gauge? im pretty sure im going to long of fri. im going to adjust with 2 clicks up. also, im going to a tire shop just to recheck my tire with a patch on it. im going to have them pull of the tire off the rim to make sure. its going to be busy on fri.

longtran · 11-20-2008, 02:48 AM

herro....nice tire law. LOL.

LOLrance · 11-20-2008, 02:48 AM

I have this. I've seen a lot of shops use this to measure tire pressure as well so it must be good. Its nice, cheap, and i just keep it in my car. Around $15 at any pepboy,autozone, even target.

The same company has another gauge that is designed specifically for racing. it measures by incriments of 0.1 (i.e. 35.1psi 35.2 etc etc) and has a backlit LED for checking pressure in the dark. But it is more expensive at $35~.

longtran · 11-20-2008, 02:59 AM

helix front mount intercooler FTL.

4 hours of cutting and grinding. when i finally get it in, the damn IC is so wide it force some plastic so out that the radiator drain plug starts to leak....after 4 hours of work, put the stock one back on.

Purple All Sectors · 11-20-2008, 03:00 AM

does your tire gauge allow to release air while measuring the psi?

Yea, everything went smoothly. Left at about 5:45ish. The invos with 40 series is pretty meaty lol. With vickys old T1R, there was 1 finger gap in the front, now you cant even fit 1 finger.

How did the IC install go?

nm just saw it.
