Sorry, never really introduced myself. The name is Srikanth, its easier for some to just call me Sri. Yes, I'm Indian.

 

my car
glad i caught you looking though!

 

whats the best way to rotate the tires for awd? move the rears forward, then throw the front right on the back left and the front left on the back right?

I need to do this soon. Its been way to long since they have been rotated.

 

Taking the wife and little dude to Tex Mex per your recommendation Marc, it better be good . I read your post and thought why not take my wife out tonight and have some drinks. Problem is one of has to drive, so I guess she can have at it since I totally pissed her off with my last minute double header Autox weekend.

So Happy Cinco De Mayo bishes......

 

didnt you rotate them a lot out front of dans house? hahaha sorry i had to do it! so whats poppin my homies

 

Depends on the tire, I go from front to back cause I have directional tires.

Hola Senors'

 

you will enjoy their margeritas. I would join you but we just put Luke down and Karen don't feel like moving being that she could into labor go at any moment

 

Front to back then change sides. So basically the rear passenger goes to the front drives etc. Unless they're directional then you just put the front back and the rear forward. I've never rotated tires on AWD personally. There isn't much of a torque bias that would unevenly wear a tire like in RWD or FWD. I could be wrong in my thinking but mine have worn evenly on all my AWD cars.

EDIT: Apparently it is still necessary on AWD. I guess my step father was wrong. You learn something new everyday.

 

Definitely necessary no matter the drivetrain. The front wheels are still the ones being scrubbed off when you make a turn. The rears just putter along during a turn and also travel a shorter distance.

 

 

Ummm bad move on my part, that place was to much of a mad scene to take my son into. We tried to park and there was people everywhere, plus they were bangin people for $4 to park, parking guy told us it crazy inside and probably not the spot for a little dude. So we back tracked to El Serape by my house, which is always good but too much $. That was a little crowed but not over the top like Tex Mex.

Maybe one time in the summer we could all meet up for some Margarita's if there are some people who live around here or I will just meet you there Marc!

 

i know you already figured this out but just to say that my tires definitely showed a difference in wear from from to rear. my alignment is just fine too.

 

It's cause youre a little heavy. I bet your left front tire was almost bald.

 

I guess I can't know everything. That knocks my awesomeness down a peg.

 

X intercooler - check. I'm picking it Friday night.
IC pipes - pick any out? I like AMS' stuff it's really nice, but it's gonna take some $$$. But I'm liking the price of the T1R IC Pipe Set, that's reachable. And it ships from Canukistan.
TBE - any plans? Mo' $$$ for this but yeah I wish I could get it right now, wouldn't mind the Magnaflow custom built exhaust.
some sort of intake (panel filter or full CAI) - FULL CAI after I get the small battery kit, possibly AMS small battery kit or the battery Chuzilla is running with some mounting kit.

I like Pillar pods too, only I wish I could get a Nav System that could just display it all in the NAV screen just like some other beastly cars out there do. Have it all clean.
