Year One snowflakes?

If so I've been using them for 10 plus yrs. No issues with fitment. Even running c5 brakes up front

**joesurfer** · 12-31-2020, 02:15 PM

yup, just making sure the fitment works. Didn't know they had them for 4th gens for that long. I must be living under a rock!

***SMWS6TA*** · 12-31-2020, 09:02 PM

you're limited to a 275 tire on rear and I have a 255 on the front. if they were 1/2" more we could put on a 295.

**joesurfer** · 01-01-2021, 06:28 AM

Yeah I plan on using my existing stock tires. They are the 275 40's

I hate USPS.....

No updates for tracking, then magically it shows up after disappearing for 10 days. My MC was mailed out from Tick on the 28th and has finally showed up out for delivery. hopefully today.

First ride of 2021 is in the books. Weather was sunny and decent yesterday so we fired up the Trans Am and went for a drive.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-12-2021, 09:00 AM

Still to cold to install the MC......

Knee pain sucks.

**TransAmTerry** · 01-12-2021, 04:02 PM

I put the T/A away last Nov., covered it and haven't touched it since. Went to the garage to get something out of it and realized the battery was completely dead. so I charged it up and to day the temp outside was up over 45 deg. so I took it out for a drive !!! Felt SO good !! I still have the Auto-X tires on it so I have to avoid temps below 40 deg. I shoulda put my all-seasons back on but got lazy - oh well.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-13-2021, 10:15 AM

I'm able to run "summer" tires almost all year living down here. But lately this "cold" has creep down here so I'm glad it's on jack stands at the moment.

I have to say I'm regretting selling my stock wheels off my bird when I got my Yr1 Snowflakes.

My daughters vert could use a good pair. They've become hard to find. She wants mine, I told her ok, just have to get me replacement wheels.

I would love to get a set like my drag wheels. She

at the costs

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-16-2021, 10:43 AM

MC is physically back in (Major PITA!!!!!!). Just need to finish hooking all the other stuff up.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-16-2021, 05:55 PM

I'm in an abusive relationship......I give and give and give but all I get back in return is resentment, anguish, despair and sometimes loathing...

I me what f'ing else does she want?

My f'ing car refuses to start. No fuel to the rails. I hear the pump, I check before the filter and after and there's fuel. I even tried blowing out the line.......

And this is the thanks I get for a new mc, service the transmission fluid, replaced its seal and yes even threw on the brand new rear sway bar that's been sitting since September.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-17-2021, 02:05 PM

Fuel filter clogged.

But that's not the good news.....now she wants a new slave cylinder too.

Bleed MC and barely have pressure.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-18-2021, 11:05 AM

Transmission pulled. Slave blew it's load like a 40yr virgin getting it the first time.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-19-2021, 09:26 PM

Pulled clutch, wasn't soaked and surprisingly looked good. I even confirmed with SPEC about what to do. I did have a inconvenience 1 of the bolts decided to scare my soul out of me by not backing out without severe force. Like please God what ever I did for you to spite me please give me a chance and not break in this flywheel, tight. Took about 20 mins to get it out. I had to borrow a thread chaser and clean up the threads and get a new bolt.

A few years back, I had a blowout of one of my summer tires because I was lazy, and drove the car when it was 10 degrees outside.

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-24-2021, 02:39 PM

It lives!!!

After a fun filled day of tearing the slave out for a 2nd time because the 1st one had a defect and cracked while bleeding.

So much fun!!!!!!

***SMWS6TA*** · 01-25-2021, 12:23 PM

Thought I would share...

Here's what started all the fun

Then when I tried bleeding the salve it decides to do this.

"New" part.....got it replaced and all is good now.

**joesurfer** · 01-25-2021, 02:09 PM

Would this look like a blown shock to you all?

Almost done....my daughter is going to go nuts.

The car's official name is RWBY but after the accident when I had to repair the body.

Here's how it was dropped off, you can see why I called it Skittles.

***SMWS6TA*** · 02-02-2021, 12:54 PM

Pics from the accident. She was hit from behind and pushed into another car.

The woman that hit her tried saying she didn't hit her hard enough to cause all that damage. I sent this pic to her adjuster and had a check settlement quickly. A "gentle" tap was what she claimed.
