Today was up at Steve's. We used his pit to install his exhaust. Once we get the lift we will do it at the shop.

What are you looking for? The kind that you drive on to or the kind that has arms which attach to the jack points?

It's a whole 3 miles away.

I'd imagine they'll have lift vendor's at SEMA.

I don;t think so... Last time i went to SEMA, it was focused on parts buyers, not instalers...

All the post lifts are for 9,000 lbs. or more. Seeing as how you only need to lift less than 3,000 lbs. the cost should be 1/3 that of the others. All you need is a couple bars to pass under the mini and 4 weight lifter. You could advertise free weight lifting and I'm sure you would attract the George Brown or Golds' Gym crowd. Ken

Opinions? Do you like them more or less than the racingharts?

I am big fan of those wheels, they are on my list of possible options. They are not too expensive at out motoring. Black costs extra though!

Wheels

Blake,
I would be interested in your racingharts if you bought the other wheels. Actually, you do owe me a good deal on something to make up for the TSB. Of course you would have to deliver to Coarsegold. Ken

I was asking $750 for them and a set of Pirellis with 95% tread. I don;t know what shipping would be. I'm not too sure, but if someone makes an ofer, i might just have to go with it.

I thought the tires were wore out from the track. I would be up to the tires and wheels and that was $750 delivered. And if you bring them yourself I'll throw in a lunch or dinner at El Cids. I am serious about buying the tires and wheels. Does this mean you have decided to buy the other set? Ken

Tires are brand new. Pirelli Pzero Nero.

I will talk with the UPS store tomorrow to see what shipping would cost. I'm torn. I kind of want the new wheels, but i also like my old ones.

New Tires

Do you guys know if I need to go to a special shop to remove the run flats and replace them with BF goodrich Ta kdw 2's? My dad works at a car dealer and they have a regular tire remover. Let me know as soon as you can I need to get new tires this week.


Brad and Steve let me know where you got yours and how much, thanks.



Armando
