    finally found the wheels and tires i was looking for. got down to lebanon ohio to pick them up and they were 4 rear wheels instead of a 255/40-275/40 stagger. I bought them anyways. Takes a 5mm spacer to clear in the front, but fuck it looks like sex now.

    lastly found an sve stage 2 exhaust, since I already installed the h pipe i went with just the mufflers. sounds great but the drone is unbearable... so i'll be making another exhaust change soon.

  2. As of now the frontrunner is Pirelli P Zero Nero GT at Discount Tire for $152/piece.

     

     

    These seem to be a newcomer but are quite well reviewed, placing near the top in the max performance summer (aka: still daily) category on tire rack https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=MP

     

     

    Look further down the pack at that tire when it was called the Pzero nero it has 5 million miles reported vs 180k and the reviews aren't as good. It wouldnt be the first time a tire manufacturer changed the name on a tire claimed there is new compounds and left the tread design and everything else the same. just something to think about.

  3. i always considered "cheap" summer tires to start at the level of sumitomo htrz3- and then move up from there. theyre good poverty summer tires. I have a hard time trusting anything lionhart/laufluellen/ other random chinese tires.
  4. Tim's Auto. It's a drive to Pataskala. He beat the dealer price by half for our Odyssey 100k service. Since I found him, I stopped turning wrenches. Small, local shop that I trust, which says a ton. Tell him I sent you.

     

    thanks man, I think I lined up a friend to do it, but if they cant work anything out then I'll give him a ring.

  5. Man, I did that job (have the huge Honda-specific crank-bolt socket and everything) and it wasn’t a tough job at all. Is he at all mechanically-inclined?

     

    Yes but more caveman stuff like 2.3 turbo fords you can do a timing belt in like 40 mins. I could handle it but I'm way too busy with the biz and life.

  6. Looked around for a bit to find what we wanted. Picked up this 2016 gt auto with 18k Tuesday night. Going to do some basic mods intake/exhaust/lowered/pp pack wheels and tires. It's a refined machine, I love it, even with the automatic..most importantly shes as happy as a clam. I've already ordered the resonator delete. It's just too quiet.

  7. only day off tomorrow, was going to take the boat out, but 15mph constant qinds plus gusts doesn't sound fun.. so going to hit buckeye from the bank for a few hours after i get the kids on the bus. crappie and saugeye hopefully
  8. couple days at buckeye... erie was too iffy to make the trip up. crappie are not where they should be given the water temps. Saugeye are near current and bait if you can find it. Water was up to 65* in the coves today and 61 on the main lake. Multiple tournaments every weekend so the fish are getting alot of pressure. tuesday night bass tournies, crappie and bass this weekend, bass and saugeye next weekend.

     

    anyone wants to fish, my schedules weird with the business but reach out and we'll get together somehow
