n_maher Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I fear the local C&C will be pretty pedestrian but beggars can't be choosers. I might try to fins one closer to Boston too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Our Sunday one is typically pretty laid back and not super high end, but it is still fun. I left yesterday in a whole train of super noisy japanese cars, Acura NSX, Skyline R32, about a dozen Suburu BRZs, a couple of WRX STis. Drove me crazy as they were buzzing so loudly but not moving the whole way down the road as they wanted everyone to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I hear you. I actually had to unvent my sunroof because those buzzy little BRZs were all round me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 As I am apparently the very last stop on the UPS driver's route. Phase 2 has been delayed. Just going to seal and wax them tonight. Also need to figure out if the Audi lug nuts work on these as they come with nothing new. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Of course, I get to the last wheel and find the silver balance tabs stuck to the cardboard protector and no longer where they belong on the wheel. I guess I am going to have to find a shop to figure out where they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Motherfucker. Took one wheel to a Firestone in the neighborhood to rebalance the wheel and pick it up to find scrapes all the way around the lip. They are saying it was like that when I brought it. I am very close to killing the whole shitty shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Looks like the car is just low enough now that the low profile jack and adapter will not actually fit under the car. I am going to stab Brent when I see him for eating biscuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have filed a claim with corporate, Firestone, and am supposed to hear back in 3-5 days from my specialist. HRE will repowder coat the set for $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
