hey Matt where did you get your new wheel? Do they have more or do I need to find another source? I need one

saw mine on the roller and it looks bad enough to get replaced before the center falls out

MikeSTI · 2004-02-18, 02:00 PM

Well, SubyDude's the man for Rotas... a set of SDRs (Prodrive P7 replicas... like JC new rims) would fit and cost around $500 for 4.

I kept my lower control arm so I could bring it to the next meet. I dont think I really needed to replace it but did anyways the streach marks that the guy at Big-O showed me (now that its cleaned up) just look like scuff marks from the curb so it was problly something I could have lived with but still wanted replaced for peace of mind. So really when I think about it it's still not that bad of a deal its just the price for the BBS wheels are so much from the dealers atleast :?

MattR · 2004-02-18, 02:09 PM

Hahaha!

Damn Snow donkey's 2 ---- SECCS 0

PM Horshack on Nasioc, he still has 2 wheels avail.

Better safe than sorry... especially if you plan to track or AutoX the car... I'd hate to see what happens when a control arm fails because you clip a curb at Laguna Seca at 90mph! :shock:

Its okay. I plan on renting a jack-hammer this summer and teaching that curb a valuable lesson.

All I can say is personally I came out ahead. I wish I had a picture of the Donkey I hit because I won - The score's 2 - 1

Art cought him with his shoulder down and got him at a really bad angle
Matt got him trying to run away and I dont blame you they move so fast

but me on the other hand got him right between the eyes I had maybe 2 to 3 inches from either horn and it would have be over and I mean you wouldnt want the engine maybe the wing would have made it or the cat back
so all in all I think I came out way on top of things......all adds up to I have a purpose and Gods not done with me yet

JoelK · 2004-02-18, 03:06 PM

Ok, I gotta ask... when one says "snow donkeys," what exactly are they referring to?

MikeSTI · 2004-02-18, 03:40 PM

things that you might hit that you shouldn't hit while driving?

The Swedish Snow Donkey is a rare and magical creature. They tend to congregate around slippery and treacherous roadways and rally trails for reasons unknown. Drivers that see them are usually so enraptured with the Snow Donkey's beauty that they tend to loose their concentration and crash into something, like trees, curbs, and occationally the Snow Donkey itself.

The Snow Donkey (nix asinus)

STIwish · 2004-02-18, 07:12 PM

For some reason, that is rather entertaining

Dean · 2004-02-18, 07:17 PM

Does Debbie get credit for being rear ended by a Snow Donkey? Or does the fault have to lie with the driver, not the Donkey?

Well. technically, the driver that rear-ended her would have to have been distracted by a snow donkey, causing the total lapse in judgement which resulted in the crash....in short,

Snow Donkey's= 4
Seccs= 0

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-02-18, 07:30 PM

This talk of being rear-ended by donkeys...

... is making me snicker.

STIwish · 2004-02-18, 07:30 PM

I was thinking the same thing.

MattR · 2004-02-18, 07:31 PM

Here's some more

MattR · 2004-02-18, 07:34 PM
