Cleaned out the map sensor and brake booster pressure sensor to regain some lost performance...didnt realize how dirty that map sensor can get, thing was covered in oil when i pulled it out

Sitting in a shop waiting for the mechanic to take a look at my tire... slow leaks suck. And I don't want any issues before I go on my trip

No....

Need an emergency response. Is this plug location safe to drive for 500 miles?

Well that absolutely blows. What a waste of brand new tires. Especially for the hassle you went through to get them.

I'd be cautious with a plug that close. It should technically be fine though as long as you're not drifting through intersections.

So 500 miles highway and easy on the right corners?

njobe89 · 05-25-2016, 07:28 AM

mishuko · 05-25-2016, 08:37 AM

It's on the inside wall. Bahhhh lol

njobe89 · 05-25-2016, 08:37 AM

yeah it should be fine... you just can't drive it like you stole type of deal.

always get the hazard thingy. it's no questions asked... so if somehow someway you got nails in both tires on the sidewalls they would have to give you two brand new tires

mishuko · 05-25-2016, 08:45 AM

See there's so much lingering doubt because it's 50 50 yes and no. **** I'm going to get a re050a from the dealer hope they can do it today

You call Discount Tire? They should be able to check inventory at all their shops in town. I actually got lucky and fellow Z owner that worked there found and sold me a set of used rears when one of my RE-11s separated.

it's not a 50/50... it's a yeah you can do it just drive carefully. check if it's leaking for air now. if it's not then you're good to go.
