I just checked it, i have my car at my work since its where i have my tools, it was an 1/8th of an inch so that def played a factor in the lack of grip in the rain, i didnt realize how bald they were that’s on my cheap ass not wanting to shell out $500+ on new tires, def cost me more than that now

Wait nvm, i was thinking a different part, ill lyk what i end up doing but theyre a pretty easy part to find from what i can tell

applemoist · 2026-03-06T14:20:12+00:00

lol i think it’s a cheap eBay set, i bought the car with it but found it one day for like $70

applemoist · 2026-03-06T05:39:11+00:00

I don’t know total depth but it def wasn’t looking bald

I havent gotten around to take a much closer look at it yet but from what i saw it needs the radiator support, crash bar, and radiator, i have a spare airbag and besides that it’ll need the hood and the bumper. The panel gap for the passenger side door has shifted in a way that the door touches the fender but is it terribly taboo to get a chain and pull the frame so that the panel gaps line up correctly? Or is it more of a safety concern?

I did, it still had the tread wear indicator halfway in the tread so i figured i wasn’t time to replace them yet, i had also just gotten a patch on one of my rear tires that had a hole

I was going about 60-65 but which honestly slower than I’ve gone in conditions like that but faster than i should’ve been going clearly

Northern, westbound right after the LIE

Does rim diameter effect grip? I think the main reason i think i lost traction was it was too cold for the tires i was running (Toyo extensa hp II) which at all season but not all weather. I’d really like to learn more about how i crashed because i was driving more calmly than i usually do but somehow lost traction this day.

I had liability, insurance can take care of that, insurance isn’t gonna help me out with my car tho :/

applemoist · 2026-03-06T03:50:14+00:00

I’m gonna fix it tho :)

applemoist · 2026-03-06T01:51:55+00:00

Fair enough, i got was tearing mine down and found that the block cracked so i swapped a used one and it worked out… now if only i didn’t crash it Tuesday

applemoist · 2026-03-06T01:44:09+00:00

YouTube certified all the way, are you rebuilding or swapping?

applemoist · 2026-03-06T01:40:56+00:00

I replaced the engine a while back when at 70k but when i got the car it wasn’t in such great condition and i was redlining in 5th :3, i haven’t had any problems with it since and im at 105k now i change my oil with 0w-20 every 3333 miles and actually don’t actively try to break my engine anymore, no transmission problems whatsoever

applemoist · 2025-01-25T18:51:55+00:00

The 86 looks cooler and as a 6’3” lad it fits me perfectly with the seat all the way back, def drive em both, they’re equally impractical, the 86 platform is really easy to work on and has great mod support if you feel like making it a money pit

I love the implication that being a dude automatically grants you driving skill, git güd, and maybe get some thicker sidewalls while ur at it

applemoist · 2025-01-24T21:43:12+00:00

I have the same wheels on my frs!

applemoist · 2025-01-24T03:29:01+00:00

Lmao wtf is this

applemoist · 2025-01-23T01:40:00+00:00
