I got a pretty decent deal on them too. I paid 77 a piece. Just two for now. Gotta wait for more money to buy the other two. I have been told only to mount them in all four. But I think im gonna have to put these ones on the front anyways. I have limited time before we get pounded up here.
 
Nice - I cannot wait to get mine mounted up. When there is some snow on the frozen lake - I'm going to see if I can do some drifting :laugh:

Hmmm I remember my cousin telling me about the car he and his buddies rolled out on a lake...

But have fun :laugh: watch out for ice cracks, those are deadly!
 
Those tires are awesome. I have them mounted on E1's and they grip amazing.

I never thought a tire could bite down so good on ice until these.

Meh - we have done 80mph sideways slides in a Taurus before - faster in my lifted pickup. My lake is really good for drifting. I'll be sure to get some pictures - I'm goign to be careful though... Too bad I do not have an ebrake...

I think I just need the cables - brand new rear ceramic pads did nothing. When I first got it, I had very very very light brake pressure with it fuly extended. I think it just needs cables.

You might be able to adjust it some where the two lines meet under the car? :shrug: worth a shot.
 
actually it sounds like your ebrake lever is messed up. the pinch welds break and then the thing spreads instead of pulling the cable, it just pulls around the cable. they can get stuck that way too. maybe this weekend kyle i'll come pull your center console off and fix it for you ;)
 
good good! get them mounted up today! we are expecting snow (according to the radio) tommorrow.

GET THOSE WINTERS ON PEOPLE, I DONT WANT YOUR CARS LOOKING LIKE MINE! :cry:

Going to throw mine in the trunk on the way to work tomorrow and I should be able to get in to my normal shop at around 4:30. have to have something good on the front for when I am on the north shore next week, with the snow they get.
 
:shrug: They are getting put on in the morning. I will have to save up for the other two.

If we get snow im gonna be mad.:mad:

I hate this weather. It was nice and warmer today. Only it was rainy..
 
Just foggy here...and then it was sunny before the sun went down. And then again on Saturday it was just like the meet we had. Dark and crappy in Duluth and when I hit Cotton it was sunny and nice.
 
I forgot to mention...

On saturady me and a friend from another forum are gonna hit up this place. Not 100% sure yet as we arent sure if they are open on saturday because of the holiday. But I will be calling in the morning and seeing if they will be.

If anyone is interested let me know. It would be fun to get a bunch of people together. :cool:
 
I love my BLIZZAKS!!! They make a world of difference. But I wouldn't run on fronts only for too long. I did that for a day and the fronts dug in and grabbed real good but the rears liked to drift out around corners. But then again I had Kumho Ecsta's on the rears.

Thats why everyone should have a winter beater. (mine is a 94 Ford Probe.)

that was my daily driver. i have a play car... that doesnt see the snow, 'cept under a cover.

i agree though with the fronts/rears. i wouldt not want to run for long with just the fronts... although, it could be fun for a little bit until you go around a corner and the back end comes out and into the ditch you go!

Hehe - maybe. If it is that simple, that would rule.
