...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuudgsicle!!!!

And now I managed to bend one of the enkeis fuuuuuuu.....

[shorestiva]

Achilles 122 175/60/13. I had them on the exim for a few months now. It's starting to look like the wheels were my problem not tires now.

[Advancedynamix]

What tires are you running on the Enkeis?

[shorestiva]

I put the exim on the balancer and checked runout on them this morning.



#2 seems to be a little out but they're all in spec according to the machine.

[shorestiva]

I almost put the Nankangs on these to try but as you said I was scared they'd shake. Turns out the play in the left hub was because my axle nut had loosened up. Retorqued that and the shaking got way better but there was still had some with the exim/Achilles.

[Advancedynamix]

Yeah. It is a fun car though and feels lighter than it is.
I am half tempted to order a new set of those 175 50 13 to see if I can get a set that doesn't shake. I have a set of 13x6 Enkei 92's that I'd like to use, but I'm afraid of the shake.

[shorestiva]

enkei mesh 13x6 +15 so same size as the exim just +2mm offset. So now I don't rub except over really big bumps. They seemed to ride a lot better on the way home. I couldn't get one to balance out right and the tire machine says the runout is marginal. So we'll see after a few days.

I love those polestars. Probably feels like a tank compared to Pedro though lol.

[Advancedynamix]

That yours !? More pics

It's my girls daily. C30R Polestar.

[Advancedynamix]

Are those appliance mags? Do they ride smooth?

[dliverance]

Wow, Those look amazing. What are the specs on those?

[firebush357]

Those Wheels!

[shorestiva]

Changed things up a little.

[shorestiva]

I really want to see what these are like with a 5spd and a proper suspension setup. Narrower, longer and taller than a festiva. We've lifted a engine out of one with no hoist lol.

Haha nice! And true dat brother i hear ya on that. Im currently redoing the entire suspension, brakes, timing belt and water pump, pcv system, heater core and and bunch of other things to my 98 glt wagon. Also i might be acquiring the 98 t5 sedan down the street from me for peanuts to convert my wagon to a T5. Huge project that im in but i love it! But the festiva thing caught me just as bad as the volvo did. Only 2 cars out of the hundred or so cars ive owned that have done this to me hahaha im an addict lol

Festys are my first love. My aqua was my first car got it about 13yrs ago iirc. The saab is supposed to be my "nice" car. It's been nothing but a pain since I got it but when it's running its so much fun. The volvo hasn't really won me over. It sounds amazing with a ipd turbo back and the seats (850r or v70r) are so comfortable but it just kinda boring otherwise. It doesn't help that its a auto and pretty rough. I think the pcv needs to be redone on it also its leaking oil out of every seal too.

Volvo love here too.

When did you get that!? More pics x2.

And you aren't down here in sunny southern Arizona at our private track getting practice because?
Come down and play, Charlie and I are bored otherwise

Life/work obligations. I should be back out there in may unless something major comes up. If it wasn't for work I'd be really tempted to move out there.
