Okay just made my appointment to get my passenger side painted. I'll be dropping it off on the 24th. He'll have it 2 weeks so it will be back to tip top shape for RRC next month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

QUOTE(JRust @ Apr 23 2015, 10:39 AM) Yeah the 914 community is the best! I've got parts coming in this week galore. Kinda last minute but what would WCR be like without the last minute fixes. I'll get some pics up as I did get that back corner pushed back close to the right place. Still not perfect by any means. I think it is still destined for some shop time & a Cellete (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . My door gap on the passenger side is a little bigger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I do have it on the lift but with the longitude stiffening kit on it. It shouldn't flex I wouldn't think with the top on. I'll do what I can do for now. Then makes some decisions after Rick & all the guys smarter than me get a look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . sorry didn't notice clearly but that trailing arm didn't look to have been reinforced...maybe a good thing if not in your case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ,get that car back on the black stuff soon,good luck. |

Regarding the rain, given my driving patterns I can see weather that is clear and 90s in KFalls, heavy rain and 65 in Weed, CA (yes, there is a place named that), and then back over 100 and clear in Redding, all within a couple of hours. So rain happens. And so does hydro planing. I can't change the weather or my choice of vehicle. My question: What is a good choice for tires for occasional rain? Too wide, and they will float on the puddles. Too narrow, and they look, well, like the skinny 165s that they are. I'm thinking 195s as a happy medium for my Fuchs 2.0 and narrow body. |

QUOTE(warpig @ Aug 7 2015, 03:15 AM) I was driving to Route 66. So in that case given the choice between bailing because it is raining outside. Or driving it to enjoy my time with my fellow Teeners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I'll make the trip 9 times out of 10. I will however not drive in a Monsoon again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

You should be able to go wider than that if they fit under your fenders or if you're flared like Jamie, just go with a tire that's rated for all weather or check with the tire suppliers for superior wet traction then go carefully, avoid big puddles of standing water, etc. Even some really wide tires do quite well in the rain if you choose carefully and drive the same. May have been the rain mixed with other slickery substances that got Jamie along with a few other factors- it happens, just watch out and drive on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Driving in the 'wet' should be no problem. Driving 'FAST' in the wet is more problematic.

Just got a picture from my painter! He just finished with the clear. Not sure when I'm picking it up yet. Just hoping the match is close enough it isn't obvious the one side was done. Won't know until later this week. Still good to see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
