    Looking for a worn out set of tires someone wants out of their garage. Just need a set to put on my stock wheels to roll the car around while I work on it. My LGT took a crap again and loss like it may get parted. Just don't want my Rota's sitting outside while I decide. All the really need to do is hold air.

    I have 3 if you want to come get them. 2 are different sizes but sounds like that shouldn't matter.

    Problem came back with a vengeance after 7 weeks of trouble free driving. I'm tired. Gonna swap my drivetrain into a bug eye and make a 2.5 hybrid out of my engine. Swapping trans and rear diff too.

    Just hope its not contagious and your bugeye chassis catches the disease to.

    Shouldn't be a problem. I'm not using any of the electronics from the LGT. Jason. I will keep the tires in mind. Just kind of hoping for a full set so I only have to make one trip.

    Could just try discount tire. Doubt they would give them to you though as it's prob considered some sort of liability as someone prob did something stupid somewhere regarding this runing it for normal people

    I probably have enough donut spares to get it done, but just wanted an old set to put on some old wheels. I have a local tire shop where I can probably get some too.

    If you are in the west metro, Jeff the Alignment Guy usually has used tires laying around and will gladly give them away.
    His shop is in Golden Valley

    So were my parents, disappointed them too ;) Seriously, it did get Terry through 7 weeks which is something, and it's definitely possible that now there's something else wrong. Just sounds like Terry's ready to move on. So when's the bonfire party for the LGT body (or at least the harness)??

    I was hopeful too. Problem came back and it doesn't care if the neutral switch is there or not.

    You need to get off this emotional roller coaster.

    I'm off. The drive train will be swapped into and 02 Bugeye to make a 2.5 hybrid.
