nope, still don't see anything. The only thing I think is suspicious is the "0"s on the two gauges, but they look believable anyway.

 

[Chris]

I kinda butchered the end of the temp gauge needle, it is missing the C on the temp gauge, the tach is missing the stopper peg, and how the hell could one drive that fast on grass?

 

[Stein]

well duh on the grass thing

I was only talking about the gauges, nothing obvious is wrong with 'em (except maybe the full tank of gas

).

Hey, shut up

 

[Chris]

Winter mode on my car:

 

[Stein]

Those are beastly tires!

And are those 4-spoke alloys, or just hubcaps on steelies?

Steel with no hub caps.

 

[IBratmanI]

What kind of wheels are those???

 

[Chris]

No idea. They came off a 1988 Chevy beretta GT. But that's just where they came from. No idea if they were OEM to that car or not.

 

[IBratmanI]

Hmm, they look odd, but hey, at least they fit, and now you have snows!!!!

 

[Chris]

They just barely fit. They were rubbing the calipers just a tad, a wee bit of grinder work and they're fine.

 

[IBratmanI]

Haha, that means they probably won't fit with new pads on there!!

 

[Chris]

haha, yea, I actually have newish pads all around now. Less than 5k miles on all of them.

So I guess next time I replace them I need to wait till right after winter

 

[IBratmanI]

Haha yeah, that's right, those must be the ones I put on?? Yeah they probably won't be too much worse, but you could also keep your eyes out for a set of Subaru wheels in that rim size, and just swap them out

Yep!

I don't feel like spending $40 on rims and another $40 on remounting them. Most of what I did was grinding off rust anyway. A few spots the welds had a bit sticking way out, and rusty. So I bet there is actually a good amount of clearance. And anyway, 1mm is as good as saving about $80

 

[Chris]

For those of you wondering about the wheels, here's a closer pic

SICK!

I want names of products and complete cost run-down STAT! One of those things on my wish list that just doesn't make sense for me to do when I need gas-money

$100 for the JDM headlights (I got a wicked deal

thanks Rad!!), some solder, soldering iron, and a little bit of knowledge about taking your car apart and wiring.

PS

I want names of products and complete cost run-down STAT!

A more polite way of saying that would be "can I have names of products and complete cost run-down please"

Sorry, but you come across rather rude on here sometimes.

 

[Stein]

Just meant to sound ecstatic, sorry. I would love JDM lights, but its not feasible.

Rad's a great guy
