nice blocks mmm

Oops. Looks like I'll be buying Pipes' GT4 wheels now.
Found all 4 of these wheels for $490 on ebay without tires. Probably going to get them in the spring so I have a full set again and then 3 as backups.

adr s-07r

How did that happen?

^ I too, am curious. I bet recent rain created divots in the dirt, which are killer...

Ouch! It'll buff out?

Well there's this dirt road in the state forest near my college. I went there during my spring semester this year and had a fun time going down this one stretch of road. The ruts weren't too bad last time, and there weren't as many rocks; nor was there water. The ruts definitely got worse over the summer. So I was doing around 40mph down it and all you could hear was thud, thud, thud, thud. . . boom. and it just started pulling hard to the left. (I actually have it on video) Thought my tire blew, but as I took the wheel off I realized the wheel was cracked over 3/4's of the way around lol

What did I learn from this? Got better judgement for good and bad trails.

*And the GT4 wheels are on the car. I like them.

PICS!

Run the course slowly first, that way you can spot these kinds of things.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to do that for now on!

Picture of the wheels on.

Nice!

soo much better!

Thanks you guys, they are starting to grow on me.
I might sell my other set to get new tires for these or just keep the other set, get a new wheel and use them until the tires are worn out. Not sure what I want to do yet

these wheels look mint on your ride mike, id def keep these

I'm definitely keeping these! haha
Just debating what I want to do with the other set, it'll most likely be cheaper to buy a new wheel and throw the tire from the broken wheel on it, so I'll keep them for the winter

Mmm, I do like those wheels. Weight?

Top picture = COTM entry. Do it.

I did it, not looking so well lmao

Other news, did AutoX for the first time this past weekend. Didn't do too bad for my first time out (with the ground being wet). My best time was 1:55, and the best time of the day, after it dried up, was 1:31 on the mile long course. I definitely want to do it again, but it's $125 for unlimited laps from 12pm-5pm, and I'm broke. So probably next year once the car is all set and done, and when I have some money.

Also, went through my spreadsheet and figured out that I've put about $4,100 into this car, and that's including the $1,200 I paid for her. Not too bad in my book.

wow....$125? Who organizes that event? SCCA?

125 seems like alot, but i guess if it is a small crowd and you can fit in alot of runs, you could get your moneys worth. Ive paid on average around $50 for an event where there is a set 3-4 runs.
