Poor intake manifold got chipped

that manifold has been through a lot and will be retired to the scrap metal pile soon enough once i get my other one finished.

Got new shoes for the car today.

so it took much longer then it ever should have to get the tires mounted, the 3 tires that they could not get off the rims in one piece now look a bit different.

yea they had to cut 3 of them to remove the sidewall from the tire so that they could remove them from the rim...

also had the car aligned and corner balanced after the new tires were installed.

the toe was out 2.5deg on drivers side and 2deg on passenger side after i played with the height again.

Glad you figured out the misfire. Car's looking good.

You should find a different company to mount the tires. (Like RUN THE **** Away From them and accept no substitute)

They are using a machine that grabs the inside of the rim with 6 Spikes. Something that you would use on a steel winter rim, but not an alloy..

Totally Ghetto..

Touchless Install..

would if i could, but no touch less install any where near me.. plus im not too worried since there is not a mark on my rims from them, and they have done much more expensive rims then my Speed6 stockers on those machines..

only shop that had one in Fredericton is no longer around, and i refuse to drive 3 hours to get tires changed I do not have that much spare time during the week.

Glad you figured out the misfire. Car's looking good.

thanks

Do you take your dog with you?

Normally yes, but this time he stayed home with my folks so that we could go to the beaches and not leave him at the cottage.Large dogs are only allowed on the public beaches after Oct 1 on the island.
