yah, kinda like some nerd with a 10step process to boot up a computer or something. :icon17: ;)

.. haha, i suppose we all are. :icon17:

Plus he's a good guy and "it be fun to help the helpful."

You'll also want to drop your transmission and swap out your final drive gear while you've got the car up. :ugh2: :p

:rofl2:

I'll put it on the list.

if i was to get one today, one of these might be a candidate:

GearWrench 85071 1/2-Inch Drive Electronic Torque Wrench 25 - 250 ft lb - Torque Wrench Digital - Amazon.com

CDI Torque 2503CF3HA Drive High Accuracy Computorq 3 Electronic Torque Wrench, 1/2-Inch - - Amazon.com

Yeah, gotta do that Clutch Kit, Flywheel, HD CSC , and Trans Mount swap.

dang, cooltoys' got a busy weekend ahead of him. :ugh:

Hey man, if you're going to do something, do it right, yaknow? Wouldn't want him to regret forgetting a step when he is changing wheels.

:iagree:

cooltoy get up real early. you're going to need it. lol

:bowrofl:

Good thing I have a four day long weekend coming up.

Wheels should be delivered between 9 and noon tomorrow.

:tup:

which tires did you go with again?

Michelin PSS.

:tup: cool.


i recently got RE11's. i just prefer the rectangular sidewall of bridgestone tires vs the PSS and DW..both kinda roundish.

I remember you saying that. I guess i'll see if I like it or not. I can always change to different tire.

it's a personal preference thing. you might like it. :tup:

Pulled down the boxes that my father in law gave me and found these:

That floor jack will fit under your car?

Hockey pucks please. That should be easy for you.

Just.

I am not sure a puck would fit along with it. There is maybe 1/2 inch clearance by the front wheel. Maybe I'll raise it some with the scissor jack and then slide it under?

drive onto 2x4s instead

Good call.

actually now that I think about, the scissor jack was made to allow you to change a tire anyway. Aslong as you do go one at a time and don't lift the car any more than you need to get the wheel off the ground you should be fine with just he scissor jack. It's not like you're getting under the car or anything. I just took all my wheels off to inspect something tonight and I just jacked up one section at a time without bothering to use jack stands. I don't think it's introducing any significant amount of risk aslong as you don't do anything stupid.

I'll admit it, if I am just messing with the wheels or coilovers, I don't stands. I usually do them one corner at a time. With my suspension, I can get enough clearance to remove the wheel and still not be able to slide a stand under my car, even going in through the wheel well.

Although, it would suck if the jack failed while a wheel was off. I might not get hurt, but the car probably would.

Party is on hold. One rim came damaged.

NOOoooooo!!!!!

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Shipping damaged?

It's OK. They will get me a new one.

Somewhat of a preview.

Stupid UPS.

I knew it was going to be damaged as soon as he offloaded them. It is not much, some dents on the chrome lip, but I paid for new, I will have new.

wow, that sucks, cooltoy. sorry to see. :(

did the store use heavy duty corrugated cardboard doubled up? ive never had such issues
buying wheels from tirerack. :ugh:

I can't say the packaging was as good as it could have been. Single layer of cardboard.

It's no big deal, they'll take care of me (I hope). Not the worst thing to have happened to me in my life.

That SUCKS!!!

yah, honestly that packaging looks pretty crappy... :ugh:
but oh well, hope your replacement comes in real quick. :tup:

Me too. The tire place is making a claim already.

I got the driver to acknowledge the damage right on delivery and he signed a statement for me. Tire store said that that wil speed up the process tremendously.

I'm kind of surprised that these didn't arrive in boxes

Me too.
