DeathTrap's Blue ZHP Sedan

[DeathTrap]

Greeting gents...

I hate this car...sometimes.

I have a crack in my wheel that slowly leaks air in my driver's side rear tire. Ugh...I added some JB Weld to hopefully reduce the leakage while I either buy new wheels or find a replacement set.

There is a local guy selling 2 rear Style 135s and is asking $100. I would have to reuse my current rubbers, but if they are straight, true and crack-less then I would kill two birds with one stone since my opposite side 135 is slightly bent.

There is another guy selling 4 front 18x8.5 Style 67s that are finished in white. I think it would be a very nice contrast with the blue color, at least in my head. He is asking $600. New tires, but they are 225/45. I don't want to go that small with my tires.

My third option is to pray that the JB Weld holds up while I find some lightweight 17s to daily with. I have a fetish for big meaty tires. 245/45/17 would give me a lot of options, plus a square setup, but then I would have to buy new tires.

I really don't want to spend much money at this point in time, so option 1 is looking promising.

Other than that, I have performed the 02 Pilot mod and halved my oil consumption rate. My CCV is most likely dead. I would love to buy G.A.S. CCV, versus new wheels, but I have yet to see any reviews on that.

I also got my airbag recall completed.

My exhaust hanger that connects to the trans rusted out and started rattling, so I deleted it. Speaking of exhaust, there's another local guy selling a Corsa exhaust for $500.

I'm close to 170k and still on the original suspension. lol Can you all believe that?? That's gotta be taken care of really soon. One of the M3forum members has my Vincebar. Hopefully I can pick that up soon and that's when I'll do my rear end refresh at minimum.

$$$ is going to be spent and slow progress shall be made. I signed up for this so I have to get it done.

Full header-back high flow stainless exhaust for 330, Zhp etc.
A little tarnished, but in good condition.
Separates into 3 parts for shipping if preferred.

Edit: He is asking $580. He may take $500.

I work across the street at Scholle IPN and eat lunch at Panasonic with my friend everyday. Saw your car in the parking lot the other day. Love the color!

Rear 135s for $100 is definitely worth it. If that falls through, why not get the wheels repaired? I had two of the same cracks in one of my rear 135s and the other was bent. Got them both fixed and the welds help up for the life of the wheel

Thank you! I believe you're the Imola I saw turning down 54 one day. Very clean machine you have there.

That was going to be option number 4 if it didn't come out to be too costly. I know Discount Tire's bent rim repair estimate was around $140.

The JB Weld looks to be holding up. This morning I was at about 30 psi. I checked it a few minutes ago and I'm still around 30 psi. Temporary success!
