We had a little ice and snow in the portland area.
This completely cripples the city and people drive like utter idiots.
Meanwhile I like to go out and slide the Doomer around and terrorize those fools in their big SUV's and those timid sissies doing 10 mph in a Subaru.
Yep I am pretty cool zipping around town, doing a little e-brake powerslide, passing on the outside, threading thru traffic.
Then on tight right hand corner...........oh shiite....front end pushing......spinning.....it wont correct.....cant ebrake and drift the rear......front still sliding around......My 12" jupiter's wont hook up......uh oh.......here comes the curb........oh shiite...........BONK!!! Yep.......so much for being cool.
Fortunately, I was only about a 2 miles from the house, so I limp home into the garage to get a better look.
Bent the front wheel badly...... and it produced a nice wobble in the drive and the alignment is now way off.
Since purchasing another stock festy wheel would be toopid, now I am forced to finally install all those Assfire brake parts laying on my garage floor.
Now I have to go out and buy some assfire wheels and tires.
Prolly just going to get the stock Aspire steelies from the U-pull-it and get a set of the Falkens.
UPDATE= Upull-it wants $100 for the wheels.
A set of Falkens ziex 512 these seem to be the corrct choice.....$50 each plus mount and balance. $250
Well, Crikey.....this guy on craigslist is selling an auto aspire for $400.
hrmm. me thinks to self "tires and wheels....and a assfire radiator for my B6 motor, maybe do the auto brake swap and sell my manual aspire brake schtuff ?
Maybe sell other parts and pieces to fellow FF.com'ers?
Anyone want a B3 with 118k on it ? Or some Aspire pieces ?
