    Haha yes, new tires are coming. Im not completely suicidal. They're 13" metro wheels. That tire wear is from just 6 months or so of use. Didn't seem to have that problem until the BP swap.

    Sent from my MIUI 3vo.

    It would be even more dumb considering 12" tires are like $30 new, and $15 at the wrecker!

    Even if they are 13", you can find them for $45 each!

    Lets hope he is not running those ones anymore, and they were just up for comparison!

    Those tires are done. Rotate the back to the front and the front to the dump.

    Tire rotation came a little ahead of schedule. Makes it easy when half the car can be jacked up at a time. The amount of tread on the front tires compared to the rear is quite worrying. I spin them too much apparently.

    Not so sure my engine is going to last much longer. It isn't running right, yet has full power. It doesn't like being beat on like it used to... sounds like it's going to blow up. There's a bad tick as well as a high pitched whining that is dependent on engine LOAD, its very strange.

These pics are before I have buffed the car so it looks good now, it's going to look amazing when it's done. But I don't plan on doing that until sometime after the Florida meet. But who knows maybe I will get it done. My buffing wheel let go after 4 yrs so I have to pick up another.... Lame!

    Also it needs a bath I haven't washed it since its been home. It's never ending....
    Looks good mikey

    Sorry. I didn't pay attention to the year. It was cold and the yard was about to close.
    It was square bodied. I don't really mess with MPVs since they have very few parts in common.
