    Have heard of 4 MTRs tearing in the last -5 months between here and TTORA.

    Goodyear side wals just suck. They don't flex well either.

    Although I will admit I hat Goodyear. My last set was horrible. Neve going back.

    Ahem...

    I changed my spark plugs last night. The ones we took out were gaped to .065 and .076. I had a rough idle and on the way to work this morning it idled perfect at every red light and stop with the new plugs in.

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    Finally fixed my hyper blink from the fog light mod!! .. Man I hated that.
    921s wouldn't cut it so I added a 6 ohm led resistor to each side and that did the trick
    cost me $8, but its actually priceless!!
