Most likely will be getting some cheap cheap steelies if I cannot find a set of rims.

Also, I've used Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice & Snow II on my AE86 before and they grip the snow very good...

I think we're all in the same boat about wearing out the Primacy's HAHA...

Another tire to consider.

Anyone else in for a group buy?

My car sleeps in a heated garage under a car cover when it gets cold. And my ae comes out for winter duty

Hm...makes me want to just garage mine and drive the MR-S again for the snow seasons...

[narfy]

lol i can arrange to put steelies and winter tires on cars... i just gotta double check the fit of some rims on my car and i can put something together... pricing should be competitive depending on brand and what rims i can get...

if i remember, i'll go test fit some wheels on my car... just to make sure they clear the brakes and stuff...

ps... i'm glad i got two winter vehicle options and i don't have to drive my car in teh winter... unless i want to...

I'm assuming you work for Toyota? If so some pricing will be good for steelies and winter tires so we can compare

Guys; should we go with Mavericks Sports Bar in Vancouver?
There's also the two I mentioned...

Pearl Castle in Richmond
Style: Taiwanese/BBT
Price Range: $6-$12

or

Shark Club also in Richmond...
Style: Sports bar grill
Price Range: $10-$15

Also open to other suggestions!

Sorry to hear man...Did you catch the person doing that?? Is it just dented or is the paint chipped as well?

The bad luck is probably because it's a black "raven"...

[Derrickchai39]

Yeah the paint is chipped. White is showing. I'll post pictures later maybe, I've just had the shittiest weekend. Trying to go around for price quotes now

[Mr.Jay]

ouch sorry to hear Derrick what are you thinknig of trading it in for?

I've had terrible luck with my car as well but its all due to the dealership and not the car itself.

I'm down for any of those places or Matsuyama like I suggested earlier.

Also down for groupbuy on winter tires... I will most likely use my stockies as winter wheels and get me nice 2ndary set of wheels (NT03+ are the goal right now)

Hmm...do you know if there's gunna be enough room for us at Matsuyama? Do we need to reserve a head of time? I've actually never been there before.

Sorry to hear that, its the same boat with me. This car has a lot of trouble, I love it but it seems to attract a lot of bad luck. Specifically douchebag trucks.. I've had to use my deductible too =(

Have you heard of AK autoworks? Heard that they do decent jobs on cars specifically like ours. They specialize on performance cars let's just say.

EDIT: Heard through the grapevine BMW owns them.. a friend of mine got a BMW as a courtesy car.

[sapphire]

I also might be down for the group buy for winter tires, but depends on the price. I want a quote first =/

I will check them out thank you!!

AS for the winter tires, i am down for a group buy.
Its hard to assume the winter here in Vancouver, lol.

[Ravenlokk]

I'm also interested in a winter tire GB as well!
