Tires!

I have just obtained some really trick ringer tires I will keep them under wraps as to what they are until a little later after I get the rims and tires mounted.

Let me guess, Somehow you got your hands on some used Goodyear Eagles. If thats so, I have been trying for years and the guys won't budge at the track. Every tire code is cut off and sent back and the rest of the tire is shreaded. I have tried in major ways to bribe them.

Good deal. New trailer tires that will temp bolt to the car so you can test drive it on the street I presume

Don't get caught on the street though in that thing.

You get the clutch slave working?

You should see the thing I rode in last night- it was embarassing.

I guess the car is owned by Master "P" and little Romeo (from what Louies kid tells me) and was the car in a Music video. Louie is storing it from him right now and this guy has told Louie to go ahead and use it whenever he wants.

The car is a newer Impala(aprox '95) and has the Vetical doors, that color changing paint, and get this 27" rims! The rims do not look right on the car- it looks like a hotwheels car. The airbags have to lift the car so you can even drive it and turn the wheel because the rims are so large even with the fenders trimmed.

I'll be back over to his place this week, I'll get pitures of this contraption.

A rep from Mcleod came out today to take a look at it and try to tune on it. It helped "alittle". Goin to have to make up some custom linkage for the clutch pedal. To get the release point closer to the firewall and not at the top of the pedal travel. The clutch is very much a off or on switch. next to zero modulation.

I did test drive the tires alittle in front of the house

It looks much better in person, that picture doesn't do it justice.

nope its a trailor queen. I almost got caught years ago in anahiem by a CHP vehicle smog/safety inspection station. I was lucky. the cop got distracted as I was driving by and he missed pulling me in . After that I decided to get a trailer and forget about the smog *****. Its now only towed to the events. I do miss driving it on the streets tho
