Our next Local Pittsburgh Meet is supposed to be This Saturday November 4th.


Is Anyone interested?

Should we change locations? The waterfront is nice but we meet there a lot so a change would be in order.

I was thinking it might be cool to meet at

Vincents Pizza, Penn Hills
Southside area somewhere?
South Hills area?

Other idea's?

This will most likely be the last meet of the year.

Regards,

that was a nice little meet last night.. dont mind sharing the turf the the cobalt SS's.. the more the merrier in my opinion.. they were claiming 275 to the wheels.. does that sound right?

Either way, im glad some people made it out last night, even though it was cold..

Wish I had my car last night...Have it tonight though if anyone is going out anywhere.

Yeah I'd be willing to bet some are in the 270 whp range...Stock I'm pretty sure they are around 230, and then they upgrade and can tune just as we do, so I wouldn't doubt it.

Hey guys. I went to Sears on saturday to get my tires changed and they managed to put 2-3 deep gouges in all 4 wheels. So now I am looking for a place that does wheel reapir. Does anyone know who can do this around here? I've been searching but haven't came up with much.

Shouldnt have left sears!!!! shouldve pointed that out, and said im not leaving till i get somehitng in writing stating that you will fix this mistake you made.. might be to late now, but in that case.. On the flip side, im not real sure of who fixes wheels around here, each time i have a bad rim i just replace it...

Oh no, I sure did point it out to them! I looked at the wheels before I even went in to pay. As I expected they tried to deny it by saying they were rock chips. I said bull****, the same damage is on all 4 wheels and it is too extensive, and then they did admit it was their fault. I talked to the mgr and they are paying for the repairs. I just have to find someone who can fix them. These are my winter wheels so I really dont want to spend money out of my pocket to replace them and I doubt sears whould pay the cost of replacing them all.

Dan,


Alloy wheel repair

412 583 7298

This guy does A LOT of the wheel repair around here. Mostly dealerships etc. This was the guy Flynn's was going to use but I decided I'm just going to get another used set of wheels anyway. I do NOT know how good he is but I assume since he does so much business he's not incompetent.


If he won't deal with you directly, which he may not shoot me a PM and maybe he can it through the mechanic I go to's his shop. The mechanic I go to is the best around IMO.

Maybe you can just give sears his number and tel lthem to "STFU" and pay the guy directly. He'll probably need a place with tools to get the wheels off.



FOR ALL:

Who around here is DECENT with wheels/tires and does a great balance. We should get a good list of shops in the area that do good work.

Dan,

Shoot me a PM about the extra set you have. I need to start storing "guy stuff" like car parts in the basement before all her practical stuff take all the room.

Cheers.
