Celebrating the car's 15 birthday today. I left work relatively early today (6pm) to take her for a spin. Finished the drive off by laying down some celebratory rubber. Check out my instagram for more of the action.

Congrats on the anniversary, Jake! That's definitely the way to celebrate! :nod:

Proof of tire wear required. Congrats on the car anniversary.

Yup, definitely took care of business. This was my first time doing a burnout on these tires, too (BFG Rival S in 315/30/18). It's pretty crazy how they grip when they warm up. The tires spin so easily when they're cold, but about halfway through the burnout, the car was pulling forward. It barely spun in second. Definitely a fantastic tire.

I'm digging those elevens.

:clap:

Aghhh yes I remember that car when it was stock . Happy anniversary (I know i missed it) can't believe it's been so long . I remember when those stock wheels went on a green lt1!

awesome dude. gotta keep on enjoying the car like that


I've started looking into better tires and those BFG Rivals are one of three on my list. The others are NT05s and Falkns. (All 200 treadwear) Keep on testing those Rivals out and come winter/spring I might reach out to you for a full review. Many people at USCA NJMP this past weekend told me that I could have done WAY better if I had better tires than my Nitto 555s.

Rivals are great, but beware they will not take regular driving well. 200TW in name only is the constant feedback i have heard. Expensive hoops to kill. Need more wheels!

edit: missed what thread this actually was. Jake you might want to lay off those burnouts! :lol:

By the way, these are the Rival S, which are even softer than the originals. Scott is right, these are pretty much road going slicks. They need heat in them to work and they wear out like tread is going out of style.

I love them and will get the same tire when they are worn.

Also, I'm taking two days off of work to get some work done on the car. A client of mine bought a car wash/oil change place in Ringwood and has two lifts. I'm going to borrow the lift for the day to trace down a weird rattle coming from the back of the car. Also going to try and fit the fixed back seats once, and for all.

Been stagnant for too long. Time for change. I bought a 6.0 iron block and LS3 heads. More details to follow.
