Hard Top OFF!
Took the hard top off early this week. Drove top-down three times.
Then the BIG rains hit. Hopefully next week will be better. |

Not sure if I am putting the new top on or not. If I keep this thing it will only be driven on nice days. The boring old Accord is available for cold and/or rainy days. Tires for the 16X7's are not cheap at all and I haven't had any extra money for a long time. That could/should change very soon. Working on it..........................This Honda is borrrriiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggg. Pat |

The ones I am looking at, some top of the line Michelin, the name is not coming to mind, are about $150.00 each. Thanks, Pat |

What size 'shoes' does your turbo wear, depending which wheels you hang onto, I guess? cd 99BBB (205/45/r16) |

The wheels are 16X7's, I am keeping the SSR's if I keep the car. I can either go with the size you have or go with 215's. The current tires are 215/40/1, and I was thinking about taking the profile to 45 with either 205's or 215's.. Pat |

Some mfr's make one but not the other and such. Don't forget to consider my Yokohama Prada Spec2's ! I highly recommend them but I don't remember the cost off the top of my head. I am a cheap bas_ard so, they can't be too high dollar. They are holding up splendidly and they've been on for street and track use. Chris 99BBB |

They have the hated Sumitomo's for that beckoning price of $55.00 each. Man I hate the Sumitomo HTR's. I can't recommend against them enough. The tires I have been looking at are the Michelin Pilots, at $138.00 each. They are pretty...........If the Prada Spec2's are at least $30.00 cheaper per tire, however, I will probably go with them. Looks like I need to squeeze $650.00-ish together soon for tires and an alignment, then re-insure the thing. Maybe then I can clean it up and drive it to Houston. Pat |
