Also, I imagine that would be an awkward conversation.. "Umm, I like you and all, but I really don't want to run a front plate, and you live in SF... soo... yeah...."

Lucky for her I don't actaully mind running a front plate. Less heat is always better.

I guess I took living in a no-front-pate-state for granted in the past!

That's exactly how I got my fix it ticket. I was parked in front of Ghiradelli Square.. ugh..

The irritating thing for me is I almost always have the front plate on. I've got almost 40K miles on my car and I bet 3K of them were without a front plate and I get the ticket twice PARKED both times.

Random but forgot to post this a while back as I know some where interested @NorCalGirl @omegared19
Some countries don't get a spare and instead have storage space trunk foam in the well so you trunk floor doesn't cave in. Cheapest price was 80 plus 15 for shipping. If we had a bunch of people interested we may be able to ship to one address and save a bit that way.

I personally am maybe taking a trip to TAP plastics and Walmart to see what I can't come up with myself. Lol

Why don't you want your spare tire?

If I get a flat I'm calling a tow truck.

finch1750 · 08-21-2013, 11:35 PM

BigFatFlip · 08-22-2013, 12:49 AM

Hah, I was wishing for a full size spare like the ausie cars

BlaineWasHere · 08-22-2013, 01:00 AM

It must be the law there.

Only early production Aussie cars got full spare. Now they have this with a "flat tire repair kit". I think only South Africa still gets full size spares.

I managed to fix my grimmspeed mount. Hopefully it lasts!

Check out my post about my experience with the Raceseng cam plate prototype that I tested to resolve the oil leak from the factory plate: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45097

Agree. Someplaces where we (I) may venture out to (I.e. Mines Rd) don't have reception to call AAA (experienced!) so having a spare is plenty enough for me to get out of that valley. But I love the idea of an uncaved trunk and save weight for track and city-driving purposes. Let me know what u come with. If by chance someone calls a tow-truck, ask politely for a flat bed. RWD.
