newb
i picked up a 95 green/grey svx yesterday for $4k
thought it was a pretty good deal so i got it 97k looks good, feels tight body has a lot of small scratches that i can buff out mostly and there're two small dents in the pass door http://home.triad.rr.com/mattpierce/svx planning on just driving it i'll end up modifying something though i've got a 86 grand national too :cool: |
Since you are new you can get away with having your front driver and rear passenger tires on backwards.......for now :D
|
heh...just noticed that
i'll have to change them when i get off |

welcome to the madhouse!
Kelli this svx fever is catching rapidly, is there a cure yet? |
If your wheels are on backwards, make sure your tires are on the right way too, If they're directional. (after you get off) :rolleyes: :p

Directional
Yep. mine are directional.
They always seem to be going the same direction as the car and me. ;) :rolleyes: |
backward wheels?
Is there a big issue of having the wheels..... 'backwards' other than the odd look..

The REAL problem only comes into play if your tyres are "directional" In this case, if they are on backwards, the sipes will not handle the rain properly, so they will grip really badly in the wet. They probably also won't brake properly. In theory, handling could be pretty hairy, mostly at high speed in the wet. Not all tyres are directional, but most modern high-performance ones are. Look at the side of your tyre[tire] If there is an arrow on it, and the arrow is going against the rotation of the tire, then your wheels are on wrong, switch them, have them all the same. Joe:) |
my wheels are good
ahhhh!!!!! The idea of ventilated brakes is good, but it doest seem to work. I remember when i did the 120k service the tech mentioned something about a wheel being backwards but i just checked some pictures of the car and it seems they are all correct..
