hello everybody i just traded in my 03 civic si to get one of these bad boys and iam very happy with it. i just got on the site and iam wondering about tire feathering what is it. i have a 05 coupe. THANX FOR ALL THE HELP. and do you know what 1/4 mile time i will run stock. thank you.

 

hey rory congrats on your new buy, if you try the seach function, Im sure you will find the answers to both questions. Happy driving.

 

welcome the Z family. ^.^

stock time, could be anywhere from 13.6-14ish
and I doubt there will be a feathering problem on your 05'..

 

Congrats and welcome!!! What color did you get? We all can't wait to see pics!!

 

What the hell were you thinking getting a Z ???? Are you out of your freakin mind!!!! Z has lots of problems. Feathering Tires, Loud rattling in tranny, 2nd or 3rd gear grind, Engine consuming too much oil, and more .

JUST KIDDING!!! Congrats. Hope you enjoy your Z.

 

Hurrah!! Welcome to the pack

 

Chalk up another guy prematurely worried about feathering thanks to good ole MY350Z.com .

 

Congrats on your purchase and don't lose sleep over the feathering issue. I like to lose sleep over looking @ my car every 30 minutes. She's almost 1 month old and I still act like a fatboy in front of a chocolate cake with it.

 

lol apexi I am the same way. I have had mine for a little over a month now and still smile everytime I walk into my garage. Welcome rory.

 

Welcome to the forums man, congrats on the Z. I was going to be an a$shat and tell you to search, but since I'm in such a good mood, tire feathering is premature wearing of the inside of your front tires, and you should run around 14s stock.

 

Wow, people must be in a very good mood today. It must be the change in the weather, with the sun shining it is Z weather and I guess not much can change the mood.

Just please don't ask which is better TT or SC.

Welcome to the family.

 

I wouldn't worry about any issues with the 05.

 

its better than not knowing

 

LOL, King Tut, i think not one feathering thread has passed through in the last 5 months where you havent written something just like this. Good job man, ur freaking on top of stuff.

 

I try to help by letting them know that not all of us have this problem not to mention all the disinformation. I mean look at the guys response right here:

tire feathering is premature wearing of the inside of your front tires

Haha, premature wearing of the inside of your front tires is just that. It is not "feathering". Premature wearing of the inside of your front tires will happen to any car running negative camber and softer tires. If you are not willing to accept this, sell the car now.

 

yea i BELIEVE feathering is where it shows wear every few tire tread blocks rather than all blocks next to each other, looking simiar to mabey a piano keyboard..?
