How to get rid of runflats and destroy your clutch

 

Whats so unusual about that? I do that regularly in morning traffic. keeps me busy

 

Good to know! I'll keep that in mind.....you know, just in case.

 

well, I WAS thinking of replacing them...but I like my clutch.

 

you guys are pansys, you wont break the clutch if you know what your doing.

 

Should have done it with the top down, replace that new car smell with that new tire smell.

 

Why doesn't this surprise me.................

 

Man, you should have seen the runflats on my old Cooper.... all 4 were bald when i went to get new tires, i had been swapping them back and forth or a long time, lol

oh, btw, i made slicks of 4 runflats in 10k miles

 

It has a dealer showroom plate on it and looks like its at the back of the lot.
I would not buy that beater.

Not to say that our cars aren't more than capable of spinning the heck out of a set of tires but that looked like it may have had a bit more gusto than you're everyday run of the mill coop. Didn't quite sound stock either, kinda had an aftermarket exhaust sound to it. Not that I'm suggesting you should run out and buy that car but I'm gonna guess its prolly not the dealer's demo. Maybe an SA with a mod addiction showing off for a potential customer????

 

Wow, I never thought I'd see THAT video again. That popped up about 2 years ago. A bunch of people gave the guy crap for using blocks on the rear wheels, lots of "Dood I totally cudda dun that witoutem." I think pulleys were just starting to be put on cars at that point, so that car was probably just stock.

 

Don't think it was stock - says right on the webpage "playmini demo car."
