LSX454 swapped 95 BASS burb.
- Thread starter shady
- Start date
Little lower, little cooler, bigger sounds.
I have found, as stated by someone before, that I can very quickly get in trouble with my rear brakes locked out.
When the rear grabs good and starts pushing the front tires, I don't realize it right away and try pushing the brakes harder... Which does nothing lol.
And twice now it's gotten me farther sideways and in precarious position before I realize it and release brake and gas to get ahold of it.
One time almost ended very badly.....

This run could have been much better I think.
But I was scared lol.
Kept thinking a cop was gonna pop around a corner, and it was 6:15 am in the dark on a stretch of highway known for deer crossing.
So, surprisingly, with the time it got, I was NOT floored. It was more like a fluctuating 85-95%
I think I can get low 13.'s

And ... I think I created a fan club.
Dropped my oldest off at a friend's.
His buddy started crawling around the burb checking it out.
So I decided to give him a show. Lol.
Unfortunately, he did the vid on snap chat and didn't save it.
Oh well lol.

So doing all this rim painting, center cap BS, bought a set of spacers so I didn't have to cut my A arms, bought another set because those were 1/4" too thick, and finally..... Ready to put them on.
Just to do burnouts with tires I had....
And after getting about $200 deep into this to put on "CHEAP"
tires.... I see one of them has cracks all in the tread and it's 6years old
I do NOT intend on doing a long azz crazy burnout on that tire after all the fender work I did lol.
NOPE.
But I'm determined now.
So gonna buy a tire I guess.
I have one that was the spare in the van. It's still 5 years old, but no cracking. It has half tread missing in an angle pattern, like it was a badly aligned front.... May I'll throw that and the other that was intended for the rear, up front. The ones I had on the front are only 3 years old.
The ones I'd slated for the rear look like they are slightly wider even though they're the same size numbers.
That extra width up front might kill it.
The dry one was on front and rubbed HARD on any bump.
I got 1/4" thinner spacers to clear them. Which would be enough.
Putting that top tire up front even with the thinner spacer may still rub just as hard though.

About to eat the $200.
And sell all of it (spacers, 16's, and center caps) on CL to see what I can recoup of it.
Just go back to the 20"s and be done .
Maybe after I burn the next set off of those, I'll just get 255's instead of 285 like what's been on it.

I stuck the 5 yr old spare on for now.
I want to drive it and see if the new spacers actually work.
And probably do a burnout
Can't decide... Center cap, or no cap....
I'll probably do both for a bit

I vote for center cap.
Caps all the way.
