I drove 15.5 hrs with no radio on. The exhaust system helps

NikolaCop · 11-08-2014, 10:15 AM

I went 34 ish hours driving only listening to bugs splat on the window. Had to put some elbow into scraping those little guys off.

no, that doesn't "help". It gets annoying. Especially your exhaust.

I don't drive to the gym without the radio on. You people are nuts.

Of course.
Continental extreme winter contact in 205/55R16.

TDavis · 11-08-2014, 02:10 PM

What would you prefer going between the Blizzak WS70s or the Continental extreme winter contacts?

I've been deciding between those two.

crazywinston01 · 11-08-2014, 02:49 PM

I have hankook i*cept evo. Absolutely love them!! They cut the sht outta snow. I challenged them all season long last season. 13-14 season was tons worse then previous winters, so i really got the drive in on my second run with them. They all probably stack the same. Just saying good experience with those. I run 205/55/16

Blizzaks are good tires, but I prefer the Continentals because they are not directional, so I can rotate them properly and get maximum life out of them.

Last year it just humored me cause, Im taking this n body car up hills in 6 inches of snow or more, meanwhile pansies at work are bailing out owning a gad dam 4x4. My car was gettin' some tang.

i almost can't wait for some so i can see how the nokian's do but i don't want the snow.

Can't find a spot? Make your own.

TDavis · 11-09-2014, 10:21 AM

Already there. Parking right outside my room window on the second floor. As long as its dry and if it snows I'll park in the driveway. Can't park in the driveway for certain reasons during the weekdays.

Keyword right there.

My headlights kept fogging up in cool temperature, whether I needed more ventilation or not taking those out let my headlights breathe more and since then haven't fogged. Of course I fabricated some breather tubes so water will not get inside of the hole. But yeah can't take the lens off, if I could I'd paint that area flat black so it doesn't pop as much but no one even notices without looking hard surprisingly. Took the headlights out prior 2312 times to reseal them, bulb seals are good, so that could be the only consideration.

Not to mention that LED was a darker orange then the turn signal so it didn't flow well

.

TruGreenGAGT · 11-09-2014, 06:08 PM

Use white led

TDavis · 11-09-2014, 06:44 PM

My car is about flow. White turn signals when they're not on their amber switchback side flow with nothing. Especially when I have no other visible white light on the exterior besides my headlight beam, if my car was white sure but no, not into the switchback look. Not to mention will not solve the issue when the 194s stay white while the switchbacks are blinking amber, doesn't match.

But then again people would say the yellow fogs don't flow with anything but I just like the yellow fog light look and IMO headlight beams and fogs are excluded from the whole flow thing unless the fogs are like red/blue/green or some sht. Can't do anything about amber turn signals, thats the law. Wouldn't change the color if there was no law against it anyway.

But yeah, in the end the 194 did nothing anyway

, even if I did get white it wouldn't solve the issue that it doesn't reflect off much light from the reflector.
