hahahah noway...

Yeah but it would be alot better if I'm in Vancouver Canada coz, u can't really work on anything yourself here, all I got is a parkin spot , no garage nothing. Plus labour to work on cars is pretty expensive here too. Well I gotta be here sometimes to make $$$ for my mods, so I guess is ok.

Congrats again Hameed. By the way, the L-Tuned 18" (OZ) rim does fit over the 14" StopTechs - I tried it last night. So I now have a spare, finally.

Thanks Paul, I will eventually have to get one. Especially after I move to the new place as it is a new subdivision and I am sure I will get a flat there from nails or some other debris from new home construction.

Well, it is tighter than your 19s.

Still, it has plenty of clearance. The only thing is the wheel weights. I had to move mine to the back of the wheel. It almost does not touch but I just wanted to be safe.

Nope. Not yet. Came home from SoCal to find a plumbing leak. I've been too busy dealing with that. Once I find some time for a writeup, I will do that.

Neo, Congrats. And it's about time. You were the one that got me hooked. Hope you worked out your plumbing problems with minimum expense.

It won't be too bad but since there was sheetrock damage on the ceiling, we're trying to take advantage of it and install some recessed lighting. When life hands you lemons, ... Just means more $.

I guess the HREs will just have to wait a little longer.
