A new meet thread...

Honestly...I can't say that I like the look of those wheels on a cougar IMO. Maybe it needs more of a lower stance or something...I have no idea. Either way, congrats on getting the car working!

it needs FSVT wheels. i just saw tony at old world pizza and the car is very nice looking. super clean. one thing i will say is the front end is unusually high. it must have newer suspension in it or something. either way, that's one cool daily driver!

There's no way I'm dropping the cougar :laugh: I'm gonna put my SVT springs and struts in it next spring though so that should help it ride a little better, the ones on it now are original as far as I can tell.

The paint on it looks good and most of the body is decent but it still needs some tlc. Good enough for a beater though.

you need the front end up so it can glide over the snow! then again, as soon as it gets built up under there you wont have any traction :D

What are these "Blizzaks" that everyone speaks of. I dont know anything about them.:shrug: Enlighten me?

I really REALLY need new tires for winter. But then, the tires I have did pretty well in the snow we got. Espescially for one being completely bald.:shocked::laugh::laugh:

Just go for something like this then:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=Bridgestone&model=Blizzak+LM-25

But unless you have seperate wheels for winter I wouldn't recommend snow tires, they don't hold up so well in summer months from what I hear. If you just want a good tire year round just buy some nice all seasons.

Edit: You guys better watch out for this guy up there too, sometimes being able to reach the speed limit isn't a good thing :help:

I compare the wet dry to my GY eagle F1s, and they are not nearly as good, of course, because theyre winter tires. These are not Blizzaks that grip on ice like studded tires, they are compromise tires. They do their job OK in all but deep snow. They are excellent in winter on packed roads and mixed conditions. Also, in most winter storm conditions but the worst MN can dish out, they allow for speed limit or faster driving...At least in a WRX.

We just got a whole crap ton of the Blizzak ws60s in at work (Sears) and they look pretty sweet. Granted, they aren't studded, but they look like they would grip pretty good. Nice blocks in the center and siped like a mofo...I'd get em.

Hmm. Well I have 205/60/R15's on now. They dont have that size. But it doesnt matter about the winter tires. I will either sell the car before summer or just get summer tires when the time comes.

God. I cant believe what that T-Green looks like.:nonono::cry::cry:

If it were me I would sue the city. They werent out sanding or anything.:nonono::nonono: Idiots.

Go with the WS-50's...$77 is a great price for new Blizzaks.

Now you just need to figure out how to pay for them !!!!! :crazy:
 
So is anybody actually interested in another meet? I was thinking maybe sometime after the first of the year? Life isnt gonna slow down for me until the first.:nonono:
