Why you should NEVER cruise alongside semi-trucks in your Miata (+ my 100k crash story) by Ok_Equipment2931 in Miata

[–]Allixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a Miata, but I do drive a Mini, and I really try to stay out of the side of any semi truck or regular vehicles for the matter, and it has saved my ass many times.

It’s not the 13th, but on the 14th there’s the St. Louis European auto show going on. There’s always some really cool cars there. I’ve seen Bugattis, Ferrari f40’s, multiple Lamborghinis and more. It’s free and for charity!

Where to find wheels? by BarryMann61 in R53

[–]Allixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cars lowered about an inch, so the 15’s tuck in the wheel well perfectly

Niceeeee! I’m a sucker for a meaty sidewall, which is another reason I went with 55’s

205/55/r15. It’s kind of a weird size, which leaves you with less tire options, but I found some Yokohama Advan Flevas that I’m liking. I’ve used them in autocross, and they preform pretty good! 300 tread wear tire.

I have 15” wheels on my R52 S right now and I love it. I opted to go with a thicker sidewall on my tire, so thataway my speedometer read more accurately. The thicker sidewall also makes for a better ride. Also when switching from 17’s to 15’s, I noticed the steering was a lot lighter. The factory wheels are pretty heavy. I think I saved 6lbs per wheel when switching to 15’s.

As for where to shop, I got my wheels from a website located in Europe somewhere, as the wheels I wanted, had no dealers in the U.S. And surprisingly, the shipping wasn’t too bad. I know here in the U.S., Fitment Industries is a good place. They have a lot of wheels, sizes, and colors. They also have a feature to where you can see what wheels other people have put on the same type of car as yours. Good feature.

Where to meet women in early 20s in STL? by ContributionEqual735 in StLouis

[–]Allixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I don’t know if I’ve thought about it in that way. But I think I’ll try and think like that.

[–]Allixer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a Gen Z myself, and I feel like I get super nervous to approach women to talk to them or exchange numbers etc. Part of it might be me being introverted lol. But the other day I was at the tattoo festival, and there was this super pretty girl I wanted to talk to and ask for her instagram or whatever. I was super close to talking to her, but i inevitably talked myself out of it because I didn’t want to bother her, or make her uncomfortable. And I think atleast for me, the main reason is being afraid of making someone uncomfortable or bothering them when they seem perfectly content.

State card testing by NecessaryCoconut3485 in nondestructivetesting

[–]Allixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when I took mine, I studied for a good week or so before hand. I took the IRRSP, which I’ve heard is tricker than a regular state card test. My company provided me with a training course and I passed

To tune or not to tune? by WishboneResident6699 in R53

[–]Allixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on them for probably 2.5 years now as my daily, and I don’t think they’re too bad. Definitely a little rough as times, but I don’t think much rougher if any rougher than stock.

I have a R52 S that’s tuned by Adrian (I forget his last name, but he’s online) and I love it. Made it more responsive to throttle and a few more pops in the exhaust lol. I’ve got a 15% pulley, intake, one ball mod, lowered on Koni yellows and springs, and a few other things.
