Need 17" RA1s

[Pranav]

Need something to practice on, anyone got any old ones loose near Houston? Only need like 1-2 but I'll take a set...

[michaelmosty]

I have a set that have 3 weekends on them. Probably good for a good 2 days of practice. I can bring them to Cresson if wanted.

[Trublu]

Trade you some Pranav.......

I have 4 really old ones you can have....pick up in cs.

[Pranav]

Thanks guys, picking a couple up from Ross today.

Matt, I'll talk to Wade/Jeff and see if they're interested if not I'll find a way to grab em.

Had you gone by there to pickup the DOM tube yet?

Michael, yeah if it's not much hassle to bring it to Cresson I'll take 'em.

Finally should be back up to a few complete sets; flatspotted a bunch at MSRH for some reason...

Dan has a couple of extra tires. All free. All 17" Toyos. Some RR, many RA1. Available for pickup tomorrow (2/4/15) from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Dan's shop (1730 Stebbins Dr, Houston, TX 77043). First come first serve.

Many of the tires have 90% tread left (as in good tread all the way around except for the one corded spot - 'cause no ABS in CMC). For every good tire you pick up, you have to pick up two bad ones. Kidding (sort of)...

You can also watch us work on the new car. I know, exciting stuff...

Richard, I'm going to try swing by on my way out from work, I am at CityCentre just south of there that afternoon...

Got yours or Dans number?

[michaelmosty]

Holy cow, that is a ton of tires!!!
Pranav, I can definitely bring them to Cresson if you want them and can't find what you need in Dan's tire graveyard.

[Pranav]

Thanks I'll let you know.

I think between Ross and Dan I should be set.

I flat-corded 2 RRs and 1-2 RA1s at MSRH, I was lucky to have enough tire to finish the weekend.

[Fbody383]

Don't take all of Dan's... I could use a set.

[RichardP]

Holy cow, that is a ton of tires!!!

Dan blows quite a bit of money in a futile attempt to keep up with Mustangs...

Whats the skinny on the new car?

The Orange car wasn't that well built in the first place and it's got a lot of track miles on it now. We spend quite a bit of time finding and repairing fatigue cracks everywhere. The wiring is also a bit of a mess. Hopefully the new car will be more reliable and consistent...


Richard P.

[Pranav]

Out of curiosity, where all are you finding cracks?

I already welded up the front LCA pickup points on the subframe, and the rear panhard pickup points on both the body and the axle.

I had the trans brace mount done on the floor plan, but it wasn't enough/right, still getting cracks. Planning on pulling the trans and doing it right from above and below later this season.
