  1. these wheels came with my winter tires and I can't use them

     

     

    they all look pretty good

     

    they were used on a 2003 Mustang GT

     

    16x6.5, 5x114.3mm

    can't see the offset marking in the stamping

    asking $150 for all 4

  2. 170k miles, 4.4L V8...28mpg on the highway black on black, power rear sunshade, heated seats and steering wheel, headlight washers

     

    needed o2 sensor, cam sensor, power headrests on both sides cables are broken WITH the driver side stuck up.

     

    it'll be getting maintenance and some other random stuff soon

  3. It has a date with a detailer in 2 weeks and needs it SORELY

    bought snow tires (anyone need a set of mint 16" Mustang fitment steel wheels with no tires? I have no use for them)

  4. Head unit came in my car I just bought but I opted to go to a stock setup (I must be boring). It was installed barely a month ago by previous owner

    they're about 180+ brand new so I think $100 is a fair price. thy seem to go for over 130 used

    thanks for looking

  5. the 1991 787B win was only possible because of other cars breaking.

    Although the 787B won it was NOT the fastest car there by any stretch of the imagination and they had no illusions of winning....the fastest 787B only qualified 12th in '91

     

    but at the end of the day, winning is winning

  6. I'm not sure what's more surprising, that Iowa allows gay marriage or that Mississippi and West Virginia don't allow you to cousin-marry...

    there are only three states where you can gay-marry your cousin

  7. I was thinking along those lines, but I've never liked driving toe out, I've always set up toe at 0. I can't see the Miata needing that much camber in the rear, but I haven't really read up on what works in these cars. I'm sure I'll be playing with a couple different settings, since I have easy access to an alignment rack. Alignment is kind of personal preference anyway so long as you're not doing something stupid.

     

    toe for sure is personal but camber is not......a tire pyrometer is the best way to find a perfect camber setting....you use a probe pyrometer to measure the temps at both tire shoulders and the middle.....if it s even all the way across the surface, your camber is perfect and the tire/grip is being maximized...if you have high inner shoulder temps, then you have too much camber. if the outer is high, then you need more camber because you're overworking the outer shoulder

     

     

    Your car definetly looks well composed, maybe I can drive yours since you seemed interested in trying the Miata.

     

    I have no problem......I like sharing drives with good drivers.....i m doin SCCA oct15th

  8. 225 is perfect for a miata

     

    decent camber and some little bit of toe-out for the front (increases dartiness and willingness to turn in

    with really miniminal toe-in (power-on stability) and a bit of camber out back

     

    my alignment specs are

    Front

    -2.0deg camber, 0 total toe-in (minimum setting on camber plates)

    Rear

    -1.6deg camber, 1/8" total toe-in

    if I kick my plates in the front in, I get -3.5deg camber and a bit of toe-out....toe-out because the tie-rods in my car are in front of the kingpin axis.

     

    My car is very neutral and I can get power-on oversteer if I mash the pedal. I can also get oversteer depending on how much trail-braking I use, which I use to my advantage

     

     

    (5) is tie-rods in the E36 front sus
