Good day at P'n'P!

I was planning on getting winter tires and wheels next season but I changed my mind today when I went to Pick N Pull. Came across a Tracer with factory Mazda alloys, the same as on my car, and some decent looking winter tires. After taking a closer look I discovered that they were Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi's, http://tinyurl.com/6nyh2 , with lots of tread left on them, probably good for at least three or four seasons.

So I picked up the four alloy wheels, which are as good or better shape than the ones I already have, and the four tires all of which appears to have been balanced recently for the meager sum of $120.00 CD. Checked out the price new for a set of four and it worked out to just under $560.00 installed for not including rims!

You might say that I'm quite pleased with myself

where and how do you get the cup holder????

[roycehof]

Hey, You could go into business making those cup holders - That is the biggest problem I have with my Festiva - No cup holders!

I still have to do some finishing touches on the console. When I have it out of the car I'll take a bunch of photos of how I put it together.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Darn, Ian, I'm heading out there on Saturday and you beat me to 'em! j/k I'm looking to swap up to the Aspire brakes ASAP anyway. Good find.

Pick n Pulls are my best friends. Most of the things i've done to my cars have been with parts from JY's

Hey Ian.. have you thought of replacing the bottom part of the console with a radio delete?

[fastivaca]

I still have the bottom portion of the stock cubicle in there so I can fit a few CDs in there. It's hard to see in my photos but it will all make sense when I get the new photos up. Can't do it this weekend as my daughter has the car and won't be back until Tuesday!

[Guest]

I was just thinking that a radio delete (single din bin) would fit right there..

[fastivaca]

Oh I see what your getting at... does anyone have a radio delete bin they'd be willing to sell!?
