Oh no worries man.

Both. With the Probe, Shamu will be exactly what I always wanted it to be. A fun street/track car. I want to be able to take it out on nice days and drive and learn how to drive it well through different events on the track.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Shamu got some new shoes today. Crappy first picture. Wheels look amazing in person. I also broke a bunch of stuff trying to get the lug nuts off. Don't know why they decided to be a b**** this time. I torqued them the same as all the other times.

 

[PrinceValorum]

They wouldn't have been my first pick, but they look pretty good in person. Still can't believe you broke the breaker and the extension, Hulk.

 

[Lewis7789]

I thought the same thing when I van picked them out. But with them on the car they look amazing.

sexytime en mi pantalones!!!

harbor freight time to get a new breaker!

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Haha thank you sir. I don't know yet whether I even need to roll the rears. I am going to take it out for some driving tomorrow after work.

 

[jri4]

For sure let me know how it goes, seeing as how I will be going with the same tires... Although I might sit just a bit lower, I'd like to know if I can go ahead and put tires on before our April 1st meet...

Edit: You confident in no more snow this winter? Or just the fact that you can quickly/easily swap back in needed?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Confident that I can switch back when I want to and also that I can buy and put Evan's snow tires for the P5 on the probe if I need to. I don't want Shamu to see another winter ever again.

Breaking breaker bars is easy to do. ******* hurts like hell when you do it tho. I'm on my 2nd 23" bar. Broke my first one on an axle nut for the Civic.

 

[ajkulish]

those wheels look incredible man

Update first page with sexy new wheels pic.

I'm on my 2nd one as well. Good time to have a Craftsman and be able to trade it in for a good one (or any other brand that lets you do that).

Agreed! (2thumbs)

 

[ajkulish]

ive never broken a breaker bar, but ive broken 2 3/4 inch drive sockets. a 1 and 1/2c inch and a 1 3/8 inch socket. its hard to break your breaker bar if its a 28 inch iron pipe that you slip onto the rachet hahaha

 

[Lewis7789]

ps, Ivan- I've got a tub of anti-sieze on top of my toolbox for the lug bolts and hub. Help yourself.

 

[THE Phen]

I'm on number 3 or so. I broke a 15" with my old VW (circa 2000-2001). I then stepped up to the 23". I just stopped counting.
