    THE Tire Thread

    I hope THIS isn't a repeat Fubar, I was wondering if you had the means of adding the specs of the (new?) Kumho Ecsta XS 345/30R19. They also have a number of 18's for which specs would be helpful too. Wasn't sure which ones to pick but they do have 265/35/18. Found them at TireRack. Anyone know...

    Tires

    I read the referenced thread but somehow missed it. Thank you. Separately, does anyone know how long these GY F1 tires last just from being out in the environment? I know that air, pollutants, sunlight all degrade the tire compounds such that in time, a tire, even if unused, needs to be...

    Battery Recommendation

    Re the post asking if anyone has any experience with Braille batteries, I have had one in my Porsche for a few months. It's the (larger) carbon model (recommended by Braille because I have an electron-thirsty convertible top) but it's still only 21 lbs...

    Tires

    I know that this question has been asked a bazillion times but I can't find the answer at the moment: the Scud tire is a 345/35/19. Will that fit the stock rim? Again, apologies for the repetition.

    This whole thing must be a hoax. No blue tape? No hands? Time to call CSI Placerville!

    Garage questions

    The floor is great, but that Ultima is particularly wonderful. Would really like to hear more about it. I've pined for one of those for a number of years. Separately, and germane to the flooring topic, I recently went 'low end' on flooring, getting a tile kit from Costco about a year ago. Much...

    Lowered my GT some more...pics.

    Very very nice. Really looks great. Amazing that the ride has held up. Do you have a speedbump locator on your GPS? :)

    Carbon Mirrors from Ewing

    Deutsches Institut für Normung. It is the standard size for car audio receivers. International standard ISO 7736 defines a standard size for car audio head units. The standard was originally established by the German standards body Deutsches Institut für Normung as DIN 75490, and is therefore...

    Acceleration put into perspective

    +1. Really well done. Further, I don't think the techs who design and run these machines get enough credit. Despite the fact that it has taken many years to evolve the technology to this point, they are true rocket scientists even if their rockets maintain an altitude of 6".

    Center Console With Engine Access Window

    Sadly, when I try to imagine your perspective, all I have to do is listen to my little OCD inside voice :)

    Center Console With Engine Access Window

    What EP means is how he would have to STERILIZE it so that it matches his garage... But really, that is very very cool. How tough is it to construct the frame/gasket/lexan? And I thought there were no more Shadowman subwoof enclosures? I really want to get rid of my stock subwoofer (albeit...

    Clearance for Driveway

    I can make it up the driveway by driving in at 45 degrees. But I have a drainage dip before the garage threshold and need 2x10'sx5' to make it inside. Huge bummer. It creates a psychological barrier to just jumping in and going for a ride. I just haven't been able to bring myself to do one of...

    Stablemate Question

    You too sir. Good to hear from you. Been a while (mea culpa). Oh and should add that virtually every mod that required more expertise than 'peel and stick' was done by Mr. Shadowman. Perfectly I might add.

    Stablemate Question

    I've tried to list the most basic and frequent mods that keep the car closest to stock but adding safety, comfort, performance and reliability. They are readily removed to return the car to complete stock (please note that this is my personal list): Transmission cooler Air plenum stiffener...

    stock airbox

    I'm too OCD to have that be part of my car. Or better yet, I'd order the new airbox and set it aside. If you're in the 'want an oem or want to get it back to oem' category, then having one at hand is worth it. I purchased my car with 200 miles on it but it had a crack in the windshield. So the...

    Aftermarket BHP max for the Ford GT

    Now that's funny! But it presumes that EP could have gotten the mod'ing parts in to his garage_without_a_door. But really (and I know there are a lot of Viper lovers on this forum) these two cars are not in the same league. One is a fine sports car. The other is very very raw. No amount of HP...
