what ever you do, dont go to tires plus for an alignment. I went there andmy tires wore so unevenly that my fronts wore down in 22k miles on easy driving.
Edit: thats how long the tires lasted altogether, before and after alignment. The wear was terrible after the alignment, in 7k miles, i was down to cords on the inside.

Its family only. sorry![]()
Oh i see how it is teng, i thought we was family.
Jp, its ok, but you can still mount tires fairly cheap right?
Teng, if you really wanted the exhaust soon, file a Better Business Bureau complaint.
man teng, your life is passing by and no damn exhaust! thats BS
I PM's them asking for an update. I mean, the last time I talked to them, they "recieved" the container and will be doing a "inventory" on it. That was last Wednesday. I called them Friday and they said they're still going through it. Its getting gay, man. I want a J's exhaust, so I don't know what to do. Its the only exhaust I'll be happy with. I want a loud, light, with a dolphin tip exhaust. And, J's has it all...Originally Posted by JDMbabe
All in all, I want a dolphin tip (tip that points downward)
They pissed me off last time I went there. I normally buy all of my tires from Sharpsburg Tire. It's a ma and pa store and their prices are usually within $10 of the big chain style stores. I had just bought a set of tires for my Wifes car a month earlier and I needed two loose tires mounted and balanced on a set of loose rims that I had for the Mustang. They charged me $35 just to mount and balance the damn things. So needless to say I will never buy another set of tires from them again. But they do have the cheapest alignments around.Originally Posted by 05IONREDLINE

Um, excuse sir, but thats pretty cheap!Originally Posted by pixyspoxey
Here at Discount Tire, its a buck for every inch of rim size to mount a tire, plus an addition 15 bucks per wheel for a balance!
4 tires mounted and balance on a 16 inch wheel will cost you $125ish, and thats excluding valve stems, tires, and "tire waste"
awesome price. i went to discount to see david and got two tires mounted and balanced. Total came out to be $79.00. But, i know my car will be taking very good care off since david is working on it. He basically gave it a wash too.Originally Posted by pixyspoxey
Yea, I took care of it, took more time on yours then I do any other customer.Originally Posted by 01dc2_jdm
thats why i am spending the extra money to come see you dave.

Wow, guess I'm used to getting it done alot cheaper. Usually $20 for both. The $35 was strickly to mount and balance. I already put new stems and didn't have any old tires to throw away.Originally Posted by Homer Simpson
It's been years since I've had to have loose tires mounted. I believe last time was when i was in the Military and had to change over from snow tires to my street tires. I could swear i only paid $25 or so bucks for everything then. Of course it was at Elmendorf AFB Service station so that might have had something to do with it.
I ended up joining the car club here at work due to it. We have our own mounting and balancing machine so I no longer need to deal with outside sources.

Yup, awesome car. Heard some awesome stories about that car, some that would make your jaw drop.Originally Posted by MeFryRice
But awesome car to work on. Clear coat on it was hard as hell so not all defects came out
I thought my legend drove nice, boy was I wrong, that NSX was smooth and "perfect".
I've driven a couple and fell in love with it as soon as I planted my butt in the driver's seat. One day I will have one sitting next to an exige in my garage, just need to get a house first.Originally Posted by smoknlegend
Good stuff, Joe! Who's all coming out Friday? Still wanna sit in your new Bride seat, Steve!

I'll be there weather permitting!
I'll be there as well - don't look at the front bumper though, I nailed the hell out of a cat Saturday night.
Dont tell me you cracked the paint?Originally Posted by MeFryRice
This is the only picture I have on my computer right now but it's cracked the paint on the whole right side of the bumper and demounted my grille. I've already talked to the body shop, I just have to drop it off to get it resprayed.Originally Posted by smoknlegend
Nailed the cat doing ~60 or so.![]()
