Ayenocs' awesome civic

usakicksass · 09-03-2007, 05:58 PM

Before I joined the group here I used to go to ayenocs pics of his mods and how he did it. Where did he get all those fresh ideas. From his list under "ride of the month may" I am trying to do some imitating on my Si.
When I got my '07 Si I went with the mich. Pilot Exalto Summer tires. They are "ZP's"(zero pressure) . After a puncture its heavy sidewalls maintains tire integrity for 50 miles or more until you can get it fixed. However there is no way to know if I've had a puncture besides checking the pressure every 50 miles. Whats up with this?
Anyway, one of the advantages they said was not having to carry a spare. The spare tire, jack etc. in my trunk weighed 34lbs. So I took them out. If I travel over 50 miles I'll throw them back in.
Nice day here in Vancouver,Wa. Wish I had a jet ski, next year.

After stating this why would you take out the spare and stuff???

More acceleration with less weight.
My usual day is 3 mile drive to work and drive home. Maybe a 10 mile cruise at night when the traffic has thinned out. With a couple burnouts.
I bicycle too and I wouldn't dream of going out without my pump and spare.
If I drive over 50 miles I wouldn't dream of going out without my spare.
