up to the roof in tires lol we go through a lot of good tires at work also. People don't rotate their tires so they buy 4 new tires because the fronts are shot and usually the backs are good.

i got my tires from a high-end shop for Jags, BMWs, Benz, etc. they tend to have a lot of low pro tires they drop off at my shop to get picked up by the old tire picker-uppers.

after one of the larger drop offs of used tires, i found all of those with decent tread. my guess is that, since the owners of the cars have enough money to own the car, they have enough money to replace tires before its completely necessary. and im A-Okay with that

im about to get a killer paycheck, should be able to get my engine internals.

plus, a coworker of mine is willing to let me borrow his cherry picker for a few days. and another coworker has an engine stand i can use for however long i need it.

PLUS, got my garage even more clean, and managed to move the front clip deeper into the garage to allow room for the cherry picker and engine stand

you couldnt take not having a running turbo? explain that part.

and go to youtube and search for the user EjectTheReject00

ive got a video of my black coupe with the 3" CS dual tip. plus 3" resonated cat delete and pace setter header.

pretty wack, imo.

ALSO, SMALL UPDATE

this weekend, i will 100% positively be buying all my internals. everything ill need to break down and rebuild my KA with forged what-nots except for a few gaskets i can get at Advance.

also, i have a lot of time off this week, and i should be getting a cherry picker very very very soon, so i can pull my motors out and start tearing my good one down.

hey man, there are more factors than just the exhaust.

it IS a good exhaust, nice welds, nice fitment.

but my header sucks (-1), its all open piping, basically (-2), and i had a surrious timing problem at the time. so yeah, it did sound crappy.

i'd still recommend it because it looks and sounds good when the timings not all messed up. ill be putting it back on when i go turbo.
