    Damn Power Steering Pump was a no show today, I'm really pissed! I got shit to do this weekend and the car has been out of commission for over a week now. If the part doesn't come tomorrow I'm screwed cuz of the holiday... I need this bitch on the road asap, fuck me for being a cheapskate and not buying the damn pump outright from a parts store, but I feared not getting the right pump and they didnt have any familiar brands and I couldnt afford $200 like that...

    Just cleaned the wheels, after further inspection one tire is flat (did I mention that already?) so I'm definitely going to have to replace that. But the tires are old (2007) so I dont know if I feel safe rollin' down these shitty New England roads with those.

    and here's the Corolla, I need to wash her.

    I'm excited to get them on the car, and cBass I looked at your kit for sale, tempting. I didnt try filling up the tire yet, I have a compressor I should do that. I looked at the tire more closely and it definitely has plug on it. I'll get on that tomorrow and see if it holds air.

    Also what kind of bolts do I need to get to secure these to the car? The stock ones wont work I'm assuming.

    Yeah, you'll need "tuner" lug nuts, they are longer, skinnier, and have a tapered surface. They are very easy to get on Ebay or wherever

    If I could afford em If get these $1000 lug nuts...

    I'm actually just perusing ebay now and out of curiosity is there a particular kind I need to get? these one's say not compatible with 2000 Corolla, should I be worried about that or are they thinking for stock rims?

    Thanks for the help so far everyone.

    Corolla forum? :dafuq:

    I thought this was "TRD," forums :please:
    Added: Jul 2, 2013 at 10:44 PM
    You have an extremely rare piece of TRD history right there. I'm a little concerned though about the "flat tire," unless you can actually find the hole in the tire i would inspect the rim itself as well.

    The rim is fine other than some minor curb rash, the tire has a plug and the tire is old theres cracks everywhere on the tire they mustve been sitting forever.

    Just get new tires bro, those on the rims are the wrong size anyway. Add on the fact that they are 6 years old, just get some 205/40 or 195/40 if you can find them.

    Ok then explain that... We have no idea what that was from. Gokus been on a deleting phase if it's not COMPLETELY on topic. :rolleyes:

    And besides, his tires are a 50 sidewall like he said, so those aren't the original ones that came on the rims.

    Obviously, ignore the $1000 ones lol. It seems that lots of Ebay sellers put cheap items at $9xx.xx to get around some Ebay rule. Expect to spend $40 or less.

    And pretty much any of those that say Toyota or Lexus or Honda will fit. 12x1.5mm is the right size. And you can see that they have the tapered seating area.
