PS High pressure line ruptured
PS low pressure line leaking
Turbo bolts keep backing themselves out. Too lazy to fix bolts because it's such a pain in the ass, especially when I can't get under my car because I don't have a jack low enough in York.
Probably going to just end up doing a gangstarish power steering setup and saying fuck gaskets and welding a full bead around the flange to the manifold and turbo. Will just keep doing temp fixes though til end of November so I can finish out some more drift events before the winter

I'm not even going to lie or try to sound like a dick or whatever.....but $10/tire?!?!?!?!?! Jesus!
Walmart is like $3.50/tire and you don't even have to buy from them. Just bring them rim/tire and toss your old tires out the back as you roll out of the parking lot at 30mph.
I'll do it for uhhhhh.......free? Maybe a bj? I dunno. I'm just far though.

The cheapest i've ever found for low profile_anything 50 series and below) tires to be mounted (not every machine can do this without fucking your rims up btw) was $20 per tire. Personally I wouldn't trust walmart with any automotive related services.

Walmart's machines are better than anywhere else I've gone. They are new for having an automotive section so all of their machines are relatively new and super stupid easy to use. That's where my friend brought his Forgelines all the time when he couldn't make it out to MA. I'd rather bring my wheels there than to a regular tire store. There machines are super old and 10 times more difficult to stretch tires on than the machines at a Walmart.
Remember, they scratch a rim, you get to throw a shit fit and have them pay to fix the damages.
$25/tire + disposal is insane for something that takes less than 20 seconds to do per wheel.

I may be coming over sometime soon. I am looking at getting some Sport Max 962's.
Front- 17x7 +38mm Offset
Rear- 17-9 +35mm Offset
I emailed Matt Petty about the lot and also about why only once a month this was his responce, guy look if you want more seat time give me some input so I can talk to him about it maybe we can work something out.
Jimmy I dont hold drift events every wed cause they wont make any money.Englishtown wants packed... so they make money Not like most drivers care but once a month is sometimes too much. I dont make shit from events never have never will running events is like being the captain of a sinking ship. You get blamed for all the bad and they never talk about all the good cruises you had under your belt. Not to mention the pay is shit. after you figure in the time i lose from work. im not there i dont get paid. i usually end up losing money. If its not a shitty event for you guys i dont get paid. Shitty event meaning you get 3 runs cause there are so many people there. Also that lot. dont expect to use it often. it is too loud due to its closeness to housing development and the complaints come in like water..
all i can tell you is to spend the money on making your car work better that you would pay for seat time and maximise your local events.. also you can go south they seem to have a more loyal fanbase and hold more events then up here. but they are waaaay more money.
