Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels and got them shipped to www.attheborderstorage.com in Sweetgrass, MT. It's about an hour and a half from Lethbridge, I go there every couple months to get my stuff. It's $5 per package for them to accept it and hold it for you in a heated/locked warehouse for 90 days.

i think home depot has it. look on plasti-dips site. i washed the car yesterday, and im re-clearing my tails right now so they look better. i wiped the inside of my car down, and cleaned all the glass. she is looking nice, except for the damage right now. cant wait for my hid's to come

Sylver01

I thought I saw something like plasti-dip in autovalue when I was home. not quite sure but maybe ask outtamymind

Adrian, I went EVERYWHERE for it when I did mine.

Home Hardware on the west side was the only one that had it. Btw, I got the badge on. Looks great thanks again!

i wonder what aceys car would look like if he went with a grey colour for the evo mod...

Sylver01

I'm still a firm believer that if you want the evo mod, buy the evo's before they are all gone! lol just my opinion!

I should be in just before 12pm... I'll give Acey a call... I can spare a bit, but we could also all meet up on the friday of the street wheelers cruise

90-100ft-lbs for steel rims;
100-110ft-lbs for aluminum rims;
aluminum rims are more suseptible to expansion from heating, so they actually have a slightly higher torque requirement...
most just do 100 for each, I personally do 100 for steel, and 110 for aluminum.

I'd recomend you talk to Mark for getting the lower lip wrapped the next time you're in Calgary;
paint/dip won't come off;
wrap can be taken off if you decide you don't like it. but that's just my two cents...

outtamymind

i've always done 100ft/lbs on mine and have never had a problem with my lugs backing off or anything. i think the reason my stud snapped was there was some moisture on it when i put the lug on. it happens, not a big deal.

BackInBlack

Or the stud was 'stretched' at a previous point in the car's lifetime. Costco is famous for that. Who cares... sometimes studs just break. Seriously.

That 'evo mod', haha, looks pretty good on a lot of cars. I would have it done in vinyl, honestly... as soundjunky said, then it can be removed without absolutely any consequence to the paint.

I have some custom vinyl work being done on my car here in the near future, by the absolute best in the business. Can't wait to show it off!

outtamymind

considering its only ever been me or my brother who has done the tires on my car i'm gonna say it was moisture that got in there.

BackInBlack

The only way moisture is ever going to come up and creep in there, is if you install your lugs dry. And if so... shame on you, young man.

Well mark did my buddies hood this morning, and holy **** it looks nice. When I get my car fixed up I'm gonna put an Eco mod on it with vinyl.

I'm paintig my grilles right now so I'm taking pics and I'll post em up later. Got 2 coats on the upper grille done both sides of the lower grille. Gonna clear them after 2 more coats on the lower and 1 more on the upper

outtamymind

what are you talking about installing dry, i'm talking about some water being in the lugs when i put them on.

Au contraire mon frère,

Plasti-dip comes off easily when you want to take it off. Find an edge and pull. You can do it to rims too, great stuff.

so fuel pump rewire is easy to do, putting on rear brakes would be easy if it wasnt for siezed e-brake on driver side...hate when calipers dont coperate.

bought a wot box, should be here next week and will install. I will let everyone know how it goes encase anybody wants to know. It has launch control and allows for full throttle shifts. should be good.

i also bought a bigger meth tank so if anyone wants a free 2.5 quart one its all yours.
