Game i've been going to Arandas Tires & Rims in Wicker Park for years. You can watch while they mount/fix etc your wheel. Just tell them you are gonna leave a fat tip and they will take care of you

lol can I lie about the tip? Do you remember how much they charge for mounting/balancing and TPMS?

Preferably in the west to southwest suburbs.

I've used fluid to swap out my tires for winter/summer the past couple of years, no problems. Tell them I sent you.

Fluid Motor Union in Plainfield? I'll give them a call. Thanks Gary.

edit - Gave them a call and they gave me a pretty great quote. Will probably drop my wheels off there tomorrow.

damn still throwing Fuel codes and the dealer keeps saying the LPFP is good. i have dropped down to 2-3 gallons of E85 on a full tank.
also had a sputter at 150mph racing a V series caddy think it might be time to just bite the bullet and by a LPFP and just say f it

mithiral67 · 05-06-2013, 04:15 PM

log 93 vs. your mix and see the difference on the High and low fuel pumps

09BMW335i · 05-06-2013, 04:20 PM

numbers are a little low...did the log and showed to Terry. advised to try and drop the open loop number Going to try it again this week and see what happens.

mithiral67 · 05-06-2013, 05:18 PM

Have you gotten any paint work done with them? They did a good job with my wheels and quoted me $250 to paint a bumper rather than $300 and a long ride to A&L.

GearGuy2009 · 05-07-2013, 07:12 AM

Its back!!

Just a few more things and itll be all ready to tear up the streets
