they're the Toyo Proxes 4 i'm sure you've heard of em around on the thread
they're stock 195/50/16 size all season with very nice grip in wet and dry just seem a little soft on the sidewalls compared to the other tires i've had on the car in the past.

I have the same tires and they don't grip worth a damn man dry or wet. In wet conditions it makes my car feel like a death trap! I hate them! The only reason why I don't just up and get new ones is because of thr tread life that they still have on them. (less then 3k miles on them)

you really think so?
i've autocrossed the oemers, and the 2 sets of kumho asx's and done some "spirited" driving in these shoes
out of them, these are definately better especially in wet stockers did absolutely nothing in the rain and after about 5k miles on the asx, they were pretty much blades on ice

Well I can't compare to the stockers ad I purchased my car used with over 120k on the clock so you know it didn't have the stockers on it.
 
Your Accident

Hey man I am really sorry to hear about your ride and accident. By the way, very nice hand me down! Haha! I still owe just over $15k on my car and I bought it brand new in May 2003. Yeah, I got screwed when I bought it.
 
Why don't you just convert the car into an autoX car since your only into for parts.

i don't need to buy it back or anything its sitting right in my garage
its just i don't have the money to fix it up, or the skill or knowledge for that matter
if it were simply buying a new radiator support, radiator, ac condenser, bumper, hood etc get the necesary pieces painted and put em on, it won't be that bad but there is a little bit of frame crunchage...
so i can't do it myself and i definately don't have the dough to get it fixed by a shop cuz one shop already quoted me 7k (bike)

It has been my experience that that is when these things happen most, when I'm being safe. Kinda makes me wanna lean towards crazy so nothing happens.

the one time im not driving like a psycho and i get t-boned by some moron in an old probe (pissed) so i figured i'll always just drive quick enough to TRY to stay out of the was of idiot drivers

i imagine instead of the orange/red glow it gives off a blue glow eh?
 
that sounds sweet, that would go with my head unit better too. plus the stock guages are so dang dark. where'd u get the blue ones ebay?
 
im not sure yet, i'm contemplating if i should get another p5 and transfer all my parts to that one.... oooh damn what should i do....
that would take a good week or so

Let me know if you want to sell the driver's side doors. I need a couple. That could be some extra $$$ in your pocket if you decide to get another one and transfer parts. Id rather give someone the money that could use it than give it to some salvage yard.

Don't mean to rush you, but I'm buying doors next week regardless....
