GJ! :tup: sounds good. yah, definitely doing the work at your own pace is better than letting someone dictate your day. plus, you know it's done right the first time. :D

always a big factor when considering DIY

:icon18:@ your haboob (hungry) dog. :tup:

yah, when i have appliances, i just put a note on there "works, free to take home" and usually by morning it's gone. :icon17:

:rofl2:

:icon17:

Well, it doesn't actually work, so I can't say that. But usually when I put a FREE sign on something, no one takes it. I've found the best way is to put a sign on it that says $50. Someone is guaranteed to steal it that way :rofl2:

so tirerack told me just now the RE11's are backordered for 2-3months. :facepalm: and no longer available in 285/35/19 size. :ugh2:

:bowrofl: hahaha!!

that's japanese marketing. similar product, raise price, suddenly 'better' product. :tup:

Oh crap...

... so im thinking i will just run the DW's for now on my weds.

i do want to swap out the rears though from 275/35 to 285/35.

Called the Z Clinic in Austin for an estimate to install the front lip. Guy says......$180. :wtf:

waaa?! :ugh2: it's already test fitted and painted, correct?

when i put my ings on, removing the rivets (factory diffuser) took bulk of the time. :icon17: in/out 30min max.

I'm gonna need just rears soon and I don't want to change to the smaller size.
Crap, crap, crap!

Yup! I just don't trust myself to screw into the bumper and not fudge up something else.

DIY! If you've already waited this long... I think I can find time next Sat morning. We're only gone Sun and Mon.

I don't have tools to DIY. :o

:ugh2: yah, supersports is back ordered too.

S04's are available in 285/35/19 and also the DW's.


it's really not that hard to do. just slap the pieces on with mounting tape first, then drill 2-3 holes per piece on your set, and screw in.

:tup: .... but are you a qualified ASE master tech? :ugh: (per brake thread) ;) jk :icon17: im definitely not.

:facepalm:

:wtf2: :icon17:

Are you around next weekend, Tracie?

I don't know why, but I'm excited about this poster! :p

since yours is FRP, you can probably even just get one of these reamers to drill the hole, and screw driver and even PLIERS to hold the nut in place :icon17: while screwing down using washers. :tup:

Yup, should be.

:icon18:

:tup:

That's definitely a nice car. Does the girl come with the car?








:stirthepot:

Oh, and Kenchan, I'm no longer hungry. :tup: Just had me some lunch! :yum:

Eh, she's aight. :p

I need one of those! Ken, what should I use to drill the holes? I am assuming a regular drill bit will probably crack the FRP.

these ghetto talk reminds me of me fixing a ding while at my wife's friend's house using a stirring spoon.

:icon17:

:tup: watchu have? :yum:

i think you can use a step drill bit and you should be fine. for my Ings (CF) i just used my 18v milwaukee and a drill bit for metal.

Excellent :tup: I have a good metal step bit that should work nicely. Thank you, sir :tiphat:

Yeah, she's about a 6.5, but it's better than not having one at all. :ugh2:






Sometimes.

Mini-chimi's and salsa. :yum:

btw, those reamers are great to have. :tup: i have one from my RC car days.

for f-day, a gift from me to me would be a 18v right angle drill. :p i have the corded one and it works fine, but i like not having a cord. :D

np! good luck. :tup: a round file is also nice to bring. i luvs tools. :tup:

that woodstock one would probably better (manual)

:yum:

I need to reinvest in a Dremel for R/C. :thumbsdown:

All of these expenses and I haven't even touched dirt yet. :( :excited:

I like not having a cord, too, but I hate dealing with batteries. My buddy says he got a cordless drill that has lifetime warranty on batteries. When it goes bad, you report it online, print out a shipping label and then send you a new one within a week, typically. That's pretty sweet, but my DeWalt corded 10 amp drill does just fine for me at home. It'll twist your arm off if you're not careful.

I have a right angle adapter bit, as well as a flexible extension that work great in many situations :tup:

I was gonna say... I have plenty of files, but none that are drill attachment. Most of them are hand-me-downs from when my grandparents moved into an Assisted Living facility. A lot of those tools are older than I am :icon17:

I could make excellent use of a Dremel ... and I don't own one :shakes head:

ahhh... the joys of a new hobby :icon17:

i use a cheepo corded rotary tool i bought years ago at harbor freight. works great. i dont like the cordless one for dremeling because i dont use it too often, and chances are the battery needs a recharge when i want to use it. :ugh2:

it's not so much the tool, but the bits that make all the difference imho for dremeling.

Found a cordless one on Amazon (with rechargeable battery) for $40, not too bad.

I had a $5 GC for Amazon too, from some survey I took for my cable company, but I don't think I saved the code. :facepalm:

sweet... I can get one of those asap :tup: that's why I really don't like batteries, also. I am not always using my tools, and they sometimes sit for weeks with no use depending on my schedule. I have good quality extension cords, though I have to make sure they're of sufficient gauge to handle my load (that's what she said!), which can get pretty pricey.
