Ouch

[E7-S14]

oh and does anybody know of any good reputable shops to mount and balance tires that i dont have to worry about facking up my wheels.

TDC has a tire Mounting and Balancing machine..

someone stole the Banner off the fence..that one and the Motul banner..a while ago.

and yeah ill be taking my car to NSPsince they are the only ones in the area that knows how to wire this type of swap.

and yeah.gave up the car with EVERYTHINGim going different route with coilovers this timebetter brand

I went to my Discount Tires, i told them to watch the wheels and that they cost more then what they make in 2 weeks. They agreed that if they screwed them up they'd order me some new ones.

Kesean, should have just went KA : P Im just playing man.

Im raking in money these days. Pretty soon i'll have my own car boosted( hopefully within the next month or so)

ha i don't fully regret the SR yet.wont know until i drive her..

Greenville wheel and rim, think I paid $25 to mount the rears last time. Most of my friends have used/ recommended them without getting there wheels messed up.

Discount tire is a joke, the slack monkies cant even put tires on the right side, and then just slap the sticky weights on there without even wiping the brake dust off, last time they fell off in the bed of the truck on the ride home.

[scs13]

yeah, discount tire is ridiculous. ive never had anything done there but the prices are insane on everything. anyways, wheres that greenville wheel and rim? ill probobly take them to them next time. my buddy is about to mount them for me but ill have to get them balanced somewhere else.

[Mirage276]

Its in the greer/taylors area just off of wade hampton. If your heading towards greer, go right onto South Buncombe Rd. , Taco Bell will be there on the right where you need to turn. Its about a mile down on the right side. I think there sign actually says greenville wheel motorsports now or something like that.

They were the first place I've gone to that actually matched up the natural balance point (the dots painted on the tire), matched it up to the valve stem, its supposed to make it use less weights to balance, so you dont have a huge strip of weights on there.

[scs13]

well cool, thanks man. ill go there next time for sure. my front tires are ****ing HUGE. i couldnt hardly turn my wheel at all without hitting my fender. i had my coils maxed out and not i had to raise it up and max out my camber. so im gonna buy some new tires asap and get them mounted there. what do you guys think 235/35 or 40 or 225/40?

[Black on Gold]

I run 225/40 up front. Although that is on a 8.5" wheel

[smurf13]

i was thinking about going with 235/40's to go on my 9's but i just went with 225/45's

[scs13]

i think i might go with a 225/40 this time. lower is better

[smurf13]

true true. but i already have my tires. so your going with 225/40's all around? i think a 10mm spacer would look good in the rear too. but the guy finally sent me pics of the coilovers so they should be here in a week or so

[scs13]

me? spacer on a 9 +24? ive already got spacers in the front and fitment is a *****. i had to raise it up an inch and max my camber out so i could turn and i still scrub. im rocking 255/40s in the back lolz. you cant fit your finger in there. if anything ill fix my camber with some spl rucas and maybe run a 245. grip owns you.

[smurf13]

i thought you were going with 225/40's all around, then you could probably fit a 10mm spacer back there. but i see your trying to go for maximum rubber in the rear.

[scs13]

stretched in the rear looks icky to me. the 255s masin gave me are awesome so im keepin em. hence why i dont really wanna put a 225/255 stagger on there. id really like to have a 235 but idk. when i buy tires later ill prolly go with a 245 again.

[gnvarnadore]

wow i havent been on here in awhile, playing catch up reading all the posts isnt to fun....lol. anyway anybody interested in buying a engine hoist? lets say 80 bucks to pick it up, i bought it from Pepboys back when i had bought a motor for the 240 i used to have. im moving to TN so i figure i'll sell the hoist so its one less thing to take up there.

[scs13]

did you ever get a new car or anything? what happened with that?

[gnvarnadore]

did you ever get a new car or anything? what happened with that?

nope i havent bought another car yet, still rocking out the accord daily driver untill i find something. everything is riding on if i move to TN and become a cop and then get married, or if i move to TN get married and then join the army.

[smurf13]

yo jordan is it alright if i come by sometime next week to get my fenders rolled? my coils should be here at the latest monday. whens a good time to go over there?

[scs13]

yeah next week sounds pretty good. bring some moneys and my battery. and a ka for my fastback.

[smurf13]

im not sure when but i'll call you or something, i think my slave cylinder went out on me today or something. Last night it was really hard to get in and out of gear and this morning its pretty much impossible. i think i may be really low on transmission fluid. richard thinks my clutch pedal needs adjusting because theres a s**t ton of play and it engages pretty much at the floor. when i press down on it, it gets to the point where it engages and stays there. and the clutch isnt slipping and i hear no grinding. does anyone have any ideas?

[GoinTopless240]

had same problem with mine... there is an adjustment screw on pedal assembly.. then i would re-bleed system.i could be your master, but they are cheap at Autozone. If you are sport a high performance clutch, you can find a stronger slave with longer rod. It helps with pedal feel. Do you still have the bleeder block in ? If so , get rid of it. It make bleeding system a snap and better pedal feel. You can actually bend the hardline back a bit and just use SS clutch line to connect direct to slave.

[rps13srsc]

guys i really need a stock ka down pipe so i can start driving my coupe

if you got one let me know

or a aftermarket header

[scs13]

got anything to trade for one of mine?

[E7-S14]

ok guysi bought a driveshaft for my s14butdidn't find out if my car has abs.its a 95 SE

i also didn't find out if the driveshaft was s14 w/abs or w/o abs.

it fit.but i havnt driven the car yet.

iv heard that using the wrong drive shaft will cause alot fo vibration on accel and decel.

i guess i wouldnt be able to tell untill i drive the car.

im asking if anyones had experiance wiht using the wrong driveshaft intheir cars

[GoinTopless240]

if i remember right the yolk diameter is different.. abs is thicker than non-abs.. i think length may be off a bit too.. i think i remember seeing it somewhere one here.. are you auto or manual? guessing manual, but wasn't sure.. if you search... click the archived button.. should give you older results.. haven't looked for it for a few years now.. let us know how it works out.. You could always measure the two shafts next to one another..

[E7-S14]

i fear i have the incorrect driveshaft.great.paid 100 for the dam thing

i had to buy a new one since the front section that was on the car was missing.

so i had to buy a whole new one.

the one i replaced the front pieces were the same but the rear section that was on teh car is thicker than the rear section that i bought.

so i fear my car has ABS and i have a Non ABS driveshaft in there.

i cant really find out if my cars abs now since its in the shop

its a 95 S14 SE M/T.i was looking in pics to see if break lines go to an actuator.. but they don't seem to go their.. they point down towards the bottom of the car.

guess i cant do much now than wait until i get my car back.

[GoinTopless240]

try some local salvage yards.. i know the AT and MT drive shafts are different on the front shaft end (AT is has larger opening to accept transmission output shaft). MT drive shaft is smaller diameter. Hope it gets all worked out..

[rps13srsc]

so i went to the shop today and some ******* had broken in. they cut the barbedwire on the top of the gate and jumped the fence. they stole my catback for my coupe, and a random cat. i ****ing hate a theif.

but i hope they come back cause there is a big surprise for them.
