Damn you Man ! And your thriftiness !Tire rotate (at 45,450). Jeez, I'll have to do it again soon (late 2016 or early 2017).
are those the factory spec tire? i recall mine had continentals . 215/45/18 . Luckily i was run into the curbing from a kid doing a lane change into me way back when.
I replaced with tenzo dc-5 bronze 9.5.
Now i have Dunlop direzza 235/40 up front and Nitto 555 225/40 out back. and still at factory weights ( rotational mass ). (wink)
latest on my car is
Got the correct bolts and washers for the CS downpipe to a CS HF mid pipe and secured. Reattached chassis brace.
The new heater hose lines are attached to the firewall ( goodyear 5/8ths in baby blue). But no i am going to replace all the coolant lines. all of them.
My special order Samco lower hose arrived after many months working with some fine folks at Samco and http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?
awesome help! Its in blue of course. Have the tees so i can remove the section of hard piping to the heater core and run all flex and dress it in.
This started because with the new CS turbo in the stock location, with an HTP 3.5 inch turbo inlet pipe caused and interference with the heater hose!
I also have been moving wire harnesses and brackets to tidy up the engine bay.
Ordering more heater hose tonight.
Slow progress but fun and good therapy for me LOL.
