Had my brother fix my tire. I have the Hankook Ventus V12 so they are directional. Three were doing one way, one was going the other. Dumbasses! Now they are all going in one direction

P.S. I have the Gravagna J2 rims. According to my brother they are "a pain in the balls" to switch tires. It appears the large lip causes problems. He flipped the rim and had to remove it and replace it from the back side.

Your rims give blue balls?

First ride of the year.. It took 3 days to charge the battery as someone popped the trunk and the light was on ..going for a ride to check my Tacoma at the paintless dent removal shop...154 hail dents in less than 2 minutes last month...3400$ to fix...my only insurance claim in 25 years...I am betting that they will recoup that someway..

Haven't done it yet, however, this evening I will take the cover off, it rained last night, and get it clean. Then about 3am we will leave for the east coast to take another shot at seeing the shuttle launch. Should be perfect weather, about 70 and a clear night with almost a full moon for the ride. The front that just came through should keep it from becoming abrasively hot as the sun rises and for the drive back. Should be a good morning for the launch at about 8:36am.

Enjoy! Sounds like fun. My niece is usually there.

I just got my stock IC out of the car (without removing the bumper)

Moving the hoses over and found out my DDM T bolt clamps are too big. Putting the stock ones back

Sly Bob · « **Reply #3782 on:** May 15, 2011, 03:14:37 PM »

The DDM clamps I believe would work best with their tubes and IC. I had clamps from Verocious that I bought the last time I was in Wilmington for Mecca. They fit the stock tubes great but when I installed my new DDM tubes a few weeks ago I found that they were too small. I got them on there but it was a tight fit.

DDM clamps likely work best with their tubes. Do you have the DDM tubes Kenny?

Kenny, how did u manage to get the IC off without removing the bumper??

LatinVenom · « **Reply #3785 on:** May 15, 2011, 04:22:17 PM »

I will probably make a new thread for this but I finally had the Engine light code read today.
This start it two weeks ago.
At 1st I thought it was the MAF, but upon inspection it was clean. There was a little bit of oil film on the bottom of the tube where the MAF is, but since I have not looked at it for well over 3 years, I figure with the K&N filter is probably normal.
Clean it all up but it did not help.
The code is P0243 Turbo solenoid.
However I put some gas in the car today after Auto-zone read the code and so far it has not happened again.
Not sure what could be happening here.

I have stock tubes and RPI IC

I must have gotten the kit that is for their tubes and IC. it's ok the stock ones worked out fine.

Arabas: I took the bottom plastics out and pulled it down. It was hard but it came out. then i put some plastic back and pushed the new one up, now putting the rest of the plastic back.

BigSal · « **Reply #3787 on:** May 15, 2011, 04:26:03 PM »

I replaced the plugs and cleaned the MAF sensor and cleaned and re-oiled the CAI filter. Getting ready for the Mod Meet!

^^^ That's not good, no oil light & how many miles sense the last oil change.

Same thing I've been doing for the last week or more -- detailing and driving and detailing and driving. It's been gorgeous!

Upgrading to bigger 8" speakers in the doors and ring radiator tweeters using pods. It will be a nice project for the weekend.

I bet that's going to sound awesome! Make sure to let me hear them at the mod meet.

Working on a custom mount for my Ultragauge today. It will attach to the ~~left~~ right of the steering column placing the UG above the right switch stalk.

I probably won't take pics, 'cos nobody cares about my mods. (Sob!)

Buy it now, 69 dollars have it delivered to Joe's and take it home with you. I have one in the truck, and will get one for the wife's car.
