So, anyone have a good tire shop they can recommend in the TO? I need to remount one of my OEM summer tire because it is leaking. Need a place that can work on 18" rims without scratching it to hell.

Tires wow...let me find my tire thread for you... :)

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=130472 These guys gave me the best price for Brand New Dunlop's 3d's with rims...

Screw the tire shop, why are you tempting us with your avatar Leesha!! LOL :D:

HHHeeeelllooooo Nurse!!! :)

Leesha's rims are okay, go by AIM in Markham, its on Victoria and Denison, good prices, they carry a lot of the Brand Name rims and Tires too at competive prices. Thats where I got my winter wheels from, you ask Neo, my winters blow away Leesha's.

Dunlop Wintersport M3's FTW!!! again!

Graspics OWN! Mazdaspeed, Shamzdaspeed, I'm taking a different approach. Why are we even fighting, we should all be after one person here, NEO! Him and his 7.

Yeah Neo Mr. Doctor...

You still near to get your side aero flares on Leesha, looks empy on the side, maybe do what i did and paint the bottom half, looks a whole lot better. Any plans for the car this summer? New mods? New rims? Skirts?

NOt sure yet... Too far away to plan anything...

Too far away, well I think its time for BOOST. You should boost it, show Neo who's thr true velocity red.

Leesha that sunroof deflector has GOT TO GO!

threadjacking at its finest :lol2:

I would recommend a tire shop, but I don't live in the GTA.
If someone wants to drive all the way out to Aurora for a remount, then by all means, I can suggest a place.

Leesha,
Prep the patient. Oh wait, screw the patient. Lets prep you instead. :D: ;)

Dude, let's just prep em all at Howl at the Moon.

Where in TO anyway? Downtown? The GTA is a big place.

You wanna see thread hijacking, I think we need to have a meet tonight. Who's in? We can do Woodbrdige or sauga area.

Leesha, that is 16% all around?
the front passenger side in that pic looks lighter than the rest of the back.

i don't think its 16% all around, just the rear quarters and the back. I've got mettalic tint on mine, forgot what percent, buts its pretty nice, clear during the day, so cops cant hassle you, keeps uv out and at night its really dark, best of both worlds.

The guy at FxAuto told me to stay away from the metallic tint because it interferes with antenna?

He said I should either the regular film or the ceramic ones.

16% All around boyz...not the front...that is why it looks light. If the front was tinted then it would all be dark... Come on you guys should know this!! ;) MY antenna...is fine...I have metallic... :)

Like the aliens do humans??:lol2:

16% all around but not the front?? I'm confused, let me clarify.
you mean it's

16% back
16% rear passenger side
16% rear driver side
unknown tint% front driver side
unknown tint% front passenger side
no tint on windshield (obviously)

Is this correct?

No front licence plate Leesha?

No ... 16% all around front, sides, rear...and not the front.

No front plate and have a radar detector but not in my RX8... :)

Sweet lookin ride Leesha. I wish I was small enough to fit an 8. But I'm not. So I have to get a different car I.E. A mitsu Lancer Evo GSR.

Well Leesha`s got competition this year, qtwre just got the mazadaspeed front, on a nice stromy blue, and then there`s also Kris with his custom interior. Leesha, are you gonna be the shinka of Canada

What ever his is dark...Qtwre...Knows VR is the better color!! :) Kris ...whatever...He's Trini so he's cool!! :) And as for you...try beating my interior!! Mr. Sinka himself!!

Grif: Thanks... :kiss:http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w245/Leesha_023/0DriveRX8.jpg

thought we talking about tires shops??? lol

No front licence plate Leesha?

So as the story goes...no more free front plate for me....:icon_no2:

I was driving home from work today(1/2hr ago), just exited the hwy and a cruiser is 2 cars ahead of me, he does a u turn and totally eyes my car... I turn right and keep looking in my rearview mirror...

Before I spot him I take my plate out and put it on the window.:lol2:

Soon he is right behind me(which means he did another uturn to come in my direction again)...my car all nice and shiny...he pulls me over and said..."I noticed you didn't have a plate on your car"... So he goes & looks in the front comes back and I tell him its in my window...

He just so happens to be the same cop that gave me my first speeding ticket in 18yrs or so... He gives me a warn and says, "Because you car is so noticable if I see you without it on the next time I will ticket you"...lets me go.

Now I have my damn plate on...a quick job I did fastening it to my grill so we'll see how it stays there...:lol2:

My free plate days are over!!

I'm surprised he said nothing to you on your TINT!

You see! It's all a matter of time before the cops decide to hassle you for the front plate.

Lucky for you he let you off.
The cops in the Mississauga area are not so kind. They'll give you the ticket despite the fact it was pouring rain!! :mad:

Stupid front license plate law!

Well it is there but hidden in a way that it doesn't spoil the look of my front end...

Yeah Neo...stupid font plate law... Bet next time might be my tint flike Footman said from the same copper!! Shit now I should use my radar...heheh...then it might be my radar next time!! ;) I know he remembered me because when I told him he pulled me over before he said before I could finish that yeah he remembered.

See that's why you don't piss off cops because he would have given me a ticket then. I saw him in court and asked what the procedure was so he's cool.

Hopefully he will not pull me over every time he see's my car now!!! VR nice but stands out!! I swear this Baby is a cop magnet!!! Don't have anything illegal in your cars guys!! :)

For 20 years I never got pulled over. And now in less then 8months I get pulled over 3x!!

Let's see a pic of the new plated front end! I want to see how you did it since I'll probably have to do it too.

Just install it. No point in "hiding" it. That'll only cause the cops to pull you over for having the plate "hidden".

Red sports cars tend to be really noticable with cops.
As long as you don't look like you're a punk kid with a baseball hat sideways, 1 arm on the center top of the steering wheel, and leaning all the way back, you'll stay out of trouble.

I've had a few cops stop beside me and ask me a few questions about the car. Meanwhile, I'm really nervous about pulling away from the stop light because of the sound my exhaust makes. But they tend not to mind it. ;) :cool:

Temp job till I could figure something out...need a bracket or cover...not sure yet.

It's secured under the black part that sticks out... :)

That's a terrible picture! I see a glowing circle and a glowing rectangle.

But you get the picture!
It's the front license plate... Do you need a better angle or something??
Oh, I know, you're expecting something like Leesha's avatar. lol ;)

Heeelloooo nurse!! :D:

I ran with no front plate since last feb, got pulled in Sept, warning. Then lol, a month i got pulled four times in a span of two weeks, they finally started making notes and gave me a ticket as an incentive to get it on. Just gotta show in court with it on. But I tried everything, I even had a quote from a dealership saying it would run me 300+ for body work to get the front plate on, cause its custom since its an american car, wow, I LOVE STEALERSHIPS, but I carried it with me, so when I got questioned I pulled it out. Then I ordered the actual bracket, and played the "I just picked it up officer, its in my trunk." But they coppers started making notes, not its on, but I mounted it a bit lower so I dont got that buck tooth look, and have it rubbing on my paint job, besides I think its better to have it sice it acts as a barrier for both the ac condenser and keeps away too much junk from the CAI.

I was interested to see the fasteners and overall look.

qtwre, i'm meeting up with you dude if you get your Cobb this week.
