han Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 As stated in the title, I would like to buy a used tire. Possibly 2. Bridgestone RE-92 215/45/17 and possibly with about 17,000 miles of use? That is a long shot but worth a try. Dont know the thread depth that is needed yet but hoping someone somewhere near, has one. or 2. ALSO! After I look at my damage tomorrow in daylight, I am also just looking for left front strut left front lower control arm. left front hub and bearing. ******EDIT: (05/28/08) I am looking for a used left front strut at this time. Got a new cell phone so 303-*** if you have a used left front strut, or both front struts for a pair... Or should i try and get coilovers? /EDIT******** ***edit again (05/28/08) I am also looking for a used cheap verizon wireless cell phone. IT is not for me. But i am looking for one. Pretty much must be operable and nothing wrong with it... /edit *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenc544 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have a damaged wheel with ~18,000 miles RE92 you can have. The wheel/tire holds air and I drove ~3000 miles on it before realizing it was damaged. It's yours if you want to come pick it up, I just want it out of my garage.

bskey Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 $h!t Han, I guess that's why people upgrade from stock struts... and those springs seem to have over compressed... what a$$hat did you buy those POS's from? Glad you got coilovers on! life in spin cycle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 My miles were mostly highway so the tires probably had more thread than other 18000 miles tires. Glad it worked out for you. Damn, how hard did you hit that curb. I know the stock strut is not that great but I didn't think it would bend like that easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 I hit it pretty goodly. After driving a NA '07 for a week, I am so glad to be driving my lego again. I missed the boost. and the stick shit. and the turbo. and my dark tints. and the turbo. And the amazing thing is, (to me it is amazing from what i seen when people hit curbs with toyota's) my lower control arm wasn't bent or anything else wasn't bent. Only the strut. Usually with toyota's, the first thing to bend is the lower control arm. Like on corolla, camry, sienna... ANd only sometimes, is the strut bent as well. And sometimes the hub and bearing is fukered up too. My co-workers and I were quite amazed that only my strut bent out of shape. short story down below all the mumbo jumbo. I could type up a lie about how i hit the curb... like, I was racing a supercharge corvette, and i was ahead of him a good length, but he started catching up quickly. I shifted to 3rd, and he caught up to me, then suddenly, shome arsehat comes out of nowhere, almost hitting the vette, which swerved into me, and my reaction was to avoid getting hit by the vette, so i swerved to the left, into the curb in the middle of the street... BUT!! it wasn't as exciting as that. It was in a parking lot of a super target, at around 10 pm, and i was on the verge of going crazy looking for my brother who had run away for 2 days with his cell phone turned off. After driving for almost 6 hours, looking for him, Target was my last stop before going to the police. I had given up hope in seeing my brother alive again. The parking lot was nearly empty, so I was going around 35 mph through the parking lot. Once I saw my brother's car, I read the license plate number which matched his, I didn't even think or look, or care what was between me and my brother's car. I immediately turned towards his car and then BAMMm!!!! scraape... hissssss.... I didn't even think of what i just did. I got out and ran to my brothers car and looked inside, afraid to see what was inside. He laid in the back seat. I was so scared he commited suicide. I banged on the window and he got up. Right then, I was so pissed off I took out my phone, and instead of calling my worried mom, I threw it against the ground and it shattered to about 20 pieces. and then blah blah blah. SHORT STORY::: Hit a curb in a target parking lot. Got mad. threw phone to the ground... That is how i bent my strut, and how my phone broke.

han Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 oh yeah. Since I broke my car, and i broke my phone, and my brother broke his phone too, I took my brother's keys, and drove like a mad man running away from the cops back home to my mom. Top speed so far in my brother's 2007 impreza 2.5i SE... 115 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
