[JITB]

You ever come to a point where u want to chill out on the car.. and just do some other shit..

ive spent soo much more money on tires, and getting tires mounted. than i have on any other stuff for my car... i just feel like im wasting money for nothing. But i cant afford to keep throwing money away on tires.... I feel like going back to stock , and just driving...

[Elbow]

Nope, never been there. Although most my "car money" doesn't go INTO my car lol.

how does that work!

teach me that method!

tires can put a huge dent in the wallet. I got frustrated with my old S10 and sold it hella cheap cause I was so tired of dealing with it.

i feel that!

Not really modifying it much and spending money on entry fees for events and renting other peoples cars.

[bluuuurr]

sometimes i look around at my small ass tv, my ps2, my slow ass stone-aged computer, basically my overall lack of other personal amusement besides cars and wonder wtf I've been thinking over the years and that I wish I hadn't chucked so much money into cars. lol.. I don't even have a cool/fast car right now.. I have a half ass put together project that I can't seem to muster up the extra dough or time to finish with a mortgage and another car payment. *pulls hair out* I guess it all works out in the end though.. lol

[40th GT]

I've felt that before, and still kinda feelin it.
I think my tires are expensive enough, so I can't imagine how bad it is for you.

But then if it weren't for our hobbies, I guess we'd be bored as fuck lol.

[FAM0U5]

i cant go there gone to far... to look back.

[Ziptied]

Oh yes, several times have I been there. I always come back to it though.

im prob gonna put it back to stock height, and sell the wheels.. and ride!

ill prob tint the windows, and finish the audio.. But i cant afford to drive the car at the height with the camber wear.... thats the problem.. ill be back in school in spring so that will take up my time...

[Nerdsrock22]

I'm so happy this isn't just me. Every couple months or so I get in this mood where I want to sell everything and buy a pick-up. Problem for me isn't tires, its the car payment and insurance.

[SiRed94]

I have pretty much gotten there with cars completely. I am just like "Fuck it, what's the point?" I feel like all of the stuff I have done to cars over the years was a tremendous waste of money. Yeah, it was fun and I like getting props, but really, neither of those outweighs the costs to me anymore. I am ready to start exerting effort on making money instead of spending it.

[87 Turbo II]

why are you going through tires so damn fast?

[JITB]

why are you going through tires so damn fast?

Im thinking its camber wear, but its just extreme. And the car being so old. it doesnt hold an alignment for too long, due to all the worn suspension parts. And they are so expensive to replace.

[EL42]

jeez,i knew it was bad but i didn't know it was this bad. well if and when you do go back to "stock" before hand get videos of the car the way you had it.

[Andy_013]

I'm it that point now, I don't want to change anything in on the civic. I don't really care if my wheels are "play out" because they work just fine. The car is just my daily driver, so I don't care if most of the parts are couple years old.

[87 Turbo II]

Yeah, this is why I chose to remain an enthusiast, without CRAZY lowered cars, retarded high camber angles, or thin sidewalls. You know what you can do to reduce that camber wear....

back to stock height?

[87 Turbo II]

back to stock height?

doesn't have to be stock height, but a more moderate drop. I bet you could sell whatever you used to lower to that height to get a modest well developed 1-2 inch kit.

whenever u find a 1-2 inch kit let me know!!!

but that was my plan...but the car has a sky high stance...we will see what happens!

yep, ive got a hatch thats been sitting in my parents back yard for 4 years . recently just starting to complete it just to put up for sale.

[EL42]

a compromise in suspension does sound like the answer.

[secondgencamaro]

I assume you have coil-overs. Just pick it up high enough to where you can get a decent alignment and get one with a warranty until you can replace your worn out suspension pieces. Also, with the warranty, you can slam it out for meets and just get everything lined up again when you pick it back up. I personally don't care for the style that you're going with for your car, but I certainly don't like stock.

no coils.. i havent been able to get my hands on a set...if i could find a set i would have been had them.. i got an alignment with the height.. but the camber cant be corrected..."its too extreme" quoted (kauffman tire)

[EL42]

"its too extreme" quoted (kauffman tire)

i hate kauffman tire. "we can't do this" "we don't do that" jus sayin.....at least the one in stone mountain

What is your car dropped on now? There has got to be a way to get a milder drop until you find some coil-overs and replace the worn out suspension pieces.

Like I said before: I'm not one for big wheels and the VIP thing, but in the end your car is your car and you want it be different from somebody else's car. That makes you a car person and I hate to see somebody giving up on their hobby.

cut springs now. i was gonna try and do heat on another set of springs, but not as low. Until i can stumble upon some used coils. the only spring still available for the 9 is the tein, and the drop is 1 inch.. and that does nothing for me...everything else is discountinued. or hard to get... i aint gonna quit, maybe take a break!
