Nice progress! Loving your ride, mad clean! But ouch D: them potholes :/

 

@defcon: i would steal your custom VMRs too... if it weren't for your damn guns. only kidding.
@Grigio09: thanks man!
@TWENTYNINE: thanks! and forreal... i just started driving it lowered too... what luck. 3 days in from being lowered and smacked a damn pothole. i'm so glad rims are okay.

 

You got me worried now Getting coils today, mounting them in 2~3 weeks. Wheels going on end of next month. First time doing this too D: gotta be extra careful now lol.

 

WELL. found the pothole damage.......................................
and yeah. be careful. x) this is my first time driving lowered, so i'm bound to go through trial and error... but on this car... D:

 

ouch! not TOO bad though thankfully haha

 

dam that sucks man!

 

fvck. at least the rim isn't bent....? *cry*

 

heres the good part of my vs-xx xD i can always just relip them since its a 3pc.

 

thanks man. i needed that comment for my 1 piece rims.



jk. you lucky betch.
i have ways to fix it. but i'm too lazy to work on my car right now. ): i feel so unmotivated lol.

 

thats what you get for buying VOSSEN! <--- vossen hater.

 

Sexy ride! Sorry to hear that you're having a rough start.

 

they're avant garde, not vossen

 

come on bro don't slack on your car...

 

thats what you get for buying wheels that look like vossen then LOL

 

really liking the your ride, you coming out on the 23rd?

 

thanks man.i don't know yet. i might have to work. if anything, i'll try to change my shift with someone.

 

Sweet LMK I'm up in Ramona, ill swing by your neck of the woods take 8 and head out to the beach...

 

Did you replace that tire? I've never seen a tire slash by hitting a pothole.

 

woww so I had no knowledge whatsoever about load rating on the tires. called discount tire and tried to order a new tire (225/35/19) and they said the load rating doesn't support the car (Hankook V12, btw). they won't sell it to me or install it. buttttt they said they would for a 235/35/19... which means i can't buy 1 tire to replace the ripped one, but two, replacing both ripped and great-conditioned tire. well fvck.

 

i'm guessing the load rating on my tire was the problem...? replacing soon!!

 

That's weird. I know a shit ton of people who use that tire size, never seen this happen to them.

I don't know shit about load ratings either, lol.

 

^seriously, that's why i went with it... anyone know what i can do? D: this is on a 19x8.5 wheel btw.

 

Hmmm what tires do you have right now?

 

Oh nvm, Hankook V12 lol answered my own question. What was the tire pressure on it?

 

38 to try and make up for the lost weight i suppose. but with that, it won't be enough. D:

 

38...isn't that pretty LOW :/ don't u need like mid-40s?

 

yeah i guess so... the guys that did my alignment told me my ideal pressure was 40 or something... but i also didn't know about max tire pressure being 50. but anyway, im just gonna go with 235s.............................. boo

 

Believe it or not, but I have a gash like that in the right rear tire on my tsx....and I'm still on stock wheels! Idk how it happened, but I've put about 15k on the tires since I spotted it (had about 6-7k on the odo when I saw it), no problems so far. I didn't wanna spend $200+ to replace the tire, when it was essentially brand new..

 

^Sounds dangerous as fck. I wouldn't risk it considering that your tires are the only things making contact with the road, and keeping you on it.

And I believe our PSI is supposed to be at about 32-33, not 40. Lol. There should be a sticker on the drivers side when you open the door that has the suggested tire PSI on it.

 

no, around 38-40 is correct if you are running stretch tires ONLY

 

i always learn something new everyday.. thanks ed

 

plus i had camber on the rears, so they tried to make up the contact with the road through tire pressure instead of fishing out dough on camber kits and install.

 

Preparing for the worst. Lmao.

 

Lol hoping for the best bro

 

Wow...just drove it out and I curb rAshed and screwed up my side skirts...what a day. ):

 

 

Everytime I drive it something bad happens. Dx pics later. Too devastated

 

So not coming on Saturday then?

 

im guessing your havent learned the ways of the lowered car yet lol.

 

gg good sir
