do we have a set of crap tires/wheels to use yet? i have those irocs i could throw some tires on, and i know chris has some 15" wheels laying around, but i think they have good rubber on them. i also have som JUNK 14"s, but i am almost posative they will not clear PBR rear brakes many of us have.

i don't want to roast my getting home rubber Cool

BTW i am going to own you all. Very Happy

I have a couple cragar s/s. They're 14's and will clear rear disc brakes. Rubber is pretty good on em, but I don't care..............ROAST EM!

as much as i would like to put a set on the V6 i would not be willing to put forth much cash to upgrade the brakes on THAT car. you can deffinatly get some bank for a complete setup on ebay. besides my aluminum drum setup is light as hell compared to those huge discs, and that things main purpose is gas mialage. in fact i am planning on doing some weight reduction once i get it back. i think i can pull almost 50LBS off of it without much effort, and still maintain a presentable intirior.

before somone asks, i am pulling the following:
rear seat (cloth)
AIR setup, including smog pump (all still functional on that car Rolling Eyes

)
spare/jack
convert PPDU to "slammer". put PPDU in GTA Smile

remove radio and speakers.
switch to realy small windshield washer reservoir (it has a HUGE 4th gen one now)
switch to smaller/hidden coolant reservoir

i may also pull front bumper internals, as that car is prety much "tottled" if the windshield brakes.... not to mention that i can replace the entire front end for ~$300

Uhh... didn't you sell that V6? Or did you get another one?

sold it to a friend, his funding (girlfriend) decided not to come through, normally i never would have given anybody a car wothout money up front. but i have known this guy for three years. anyway, i have been trying to get him by phone for like two weeks to talk to him about it. finnaly gave up and left him a message three days ago telling him i wanted the car back. called him again yesterday. have not yet herd back. he was getting a new job (graveyard?) last time i spoke with him, could be the reason for the lack of communication, perhaps not. anyway if i don't hear back from him soon it's REPO time. Cool

PS anyone know how do disable the steering wheel lock on these w/o a key Very Happy

? it's a stick w/o vats. i can get in and hotwire it no problem, steering will be an issue. only has to go as far as a block or so to get on a car trailer.

i am realy hoping it won't come to this, but i am planning for the worst. plus i have secretly allways wanted to reposses a car. Twisted Evil

my plans for the car once i get it back are to put a new clutch in it and use it as my daily. 15MPG in the GTA with 3.30/gal gas prices are killing me.

I probably have a few tires around in various sizes. Dad even has a tire machine. I know last time we used the 14" rallies off my velle on everybodys car. They seemed to work.

cool, i won't bring anything then. perhaps chris can bring some of the random rubber he has laying around. i don't know though, some of it is in decent shape.

alot. is that the only way? out of curiosity how would you do that anyway? chris and i tried to bust one at a junkyard once and were unable to do it.

i am planning on re-building a colum anyway (the original one from the 86, before i swapped it out) as a "learning experiance". but would rather do it as i get time, rather then right now.

i could always open it up put it in neutral, back it up, put a jack under the front wheels, move it 90 degrees and pull it onto the trailer and leave. then go buy a new lock cylander. (to re-key it)

If you guys have tires might as well bring em though. Doesnt take long to go through a set. The ones we used last year look like theyre made of canvas.

I still have your tires/wheels too Rod. All we need is lugnuts. Unless those are 14s.. then we can put em on the rallies.

i'll bring my baggie of lugs.

Quasi-Traction · Posted: Tue May 23, 2006 11:06 am Post subject:

If I go (which is looking questionable at this point)

I'll throw a tire in the back of my car so there will be an extra one.

I know these will clear front Disc's but I don't know about rear ones..

my rear discs are bigger then my front discs..... for now Twisted Evil

Don't think I need rear brakes at this point. I kind of like spinning tires on the starting line. lol

I don't have any junker tires. Sad

Want one paul? Got about 5 behind my garage. Family isn't too thrilled about them being there either. Sooner they're gone, the happier everyone is.

I have my spare set of Z/28 wheels/tires. so I'm not too worried about donating any rubber for roastage.
