A couple shots from Boost 4 Boobies. Had some front rubbing issues, gonna try pulling the fenders a little tonight or tomorrow. Shouldnt take much though. Also thikn I'm going to try finding some foam this weekend and try out my sculpting abilities for making flares... should be interesting.

 

Dude.. you need some more front camber to fit those wheels.. it'll also help with the cornering

 

Saw a red prowler of all things today..

 

they are actually at -1.7ish right now, I want to bring them back to around -1, but IIRC I will have t oshim the hubs to achieve that. I have a LongAcre digi gauge the bring with to any track events so I dont have to run too much camber on the street and chew up tires. This is another reason I want to fabricate flares, fit wider tires without have to run ridiculous amounts of camber.

 

theres a gokart for sale in Brainerd that has a maroon prowler body on it. Looks sick! I was tempted to get it for something to run around BIR with but it would be destroyed in no time.

 

Looked great Wes, love the new stance!

 

+1^

 

Wow, a G that actually looks aggressive! Nice!

I think you did fine with the wheels. I like the stance. Not too crazy.

 

Going to try and work out today. Messed up my shoulder at work last week and have stayed off the weights since. Hopefully I havnt lost much.

 

A week isn't going to set you back.

I did legs today. Did chest on Sunday.

 

I've decided this year that I want the dirtiest Z in the state. Not going to wash the car the entire summer.

What do you think?

 

 

Your Z is alwasy dirty, so IDK what the difference would be

 

LMAO! Ain't that the truth!

I'm shopping for running shoes. Doing it online kind of sucks.

 

Dave go to Run n' Fun right over here next to Chianti Grill, they will size you up and help you pick a shoe that fist your foot shape/arch/size. You wont find a better place to find what you need, my dad has dealt with them for 20+ years. Great people to deal with and will really help to make sure you get what your foot needs.

Love that movie. Couldn't find it on Netflix. Maybe Amazon will have it.

I heard a lot about that shoe store. They give discounts to d-bags like me.

 

W00T! weather looks fine all weekend!
Looks like it'll be a good weekend for the local AutoX opener at VF.

What are you guys up to?

 

Ok guys, I want to get your opinion on this because based on what I have read, you are all very knowledgeable car guys so I value your opinion.

I have a set of wheels and tires I'm dumping, probably on craigslist, to go with a more "track" setup. I need help figuring out a fair price.

Here's where the complex part comes in. They are a set of 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 Varrstoen es 2.2.2 that are custom powdercoated and are wrapped with Hankook Ventus Evo V12 - 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 with a LOT of tread left. The rims got wrecked. One has curb rash, minor issue. 2 got bent. I hit a monster size boulder on the freeway and bent the snot out of the front and driver's side rear. Front is way worse off that the rear but the rear still has a bend. Here's the kicker, both still holding air and have a real solid seal. It's possible it can be fixed if you heat it up and pound it out but it's $150 roughly to do so.

What should I do? Sell the rims and tires separate? Fix the rims and then try and sell them? Any thoughts on what they are worth used? Craigslist doesn't have a lot of this stuff for sale.

Any opinion is greatly appreciated.

 

IMHO you have some scrap metal and used tires. I wouldn't want to buy them, especially if you "heat [them] up and pound it out". those wheels are compromised (more so if you do a ghetto fix like you state) and likely out of round. I have had wheels bend that held air and 'looked' ok, but would not balance out and could not be repaired.

The two are junk and a third is curbed, so it sounds like you have one good wheel. Not sure the market is very big for a single wheel

the tires....well, I would probably just keep them and find some wheels to run them on. if you hit pot holes hard enough to bend the wheels, I personally wouldn't want the tires either
