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
BTW i am going to own you all. _________________ 86' firebird (Junked in 2015). 88' GTA (sold in 2020).

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

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.
PS anyone know how do disable the steering wheel lock on these w/o a key ? 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.
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. |

Save those 14's for the drag strip Brandon, the hotter they got, the stickier they got. |

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. |

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.. _________________

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. |

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. _________________
