Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 tires mounted/balanced @ PTP in Fort Worth today! Goodbye howl-monster OEM Advans :) I got 10,500 miles out of the stock tires, hoping to get 20k out of these.

I hear the weather there is nice today. There's a dude shoveling his car out for 1 1/2 hours outside the window, he may still be out there or dead.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

What is your daily commute? I haven't broke 15k miles on mine yet.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

31 miles round-trip. I do a ton of driving though, took it to MN in July, and drive it almost every day. I'm willing to bet since I bought the car in June I could count the number of days the car hasn't been driven at all on one hand.

In my quest to make this car less of a pile of shit with it's 1980's Honda interior quality equivalent I went to JoAnn Fabrics today and got a sheet of adhesive felt for $2. I cut various size pieces and placed it at all six glovebox door connection points and at four connection points for the plastic panel that sits under the glovebox. I removed the air cylinder from the glovebox door last week and am hoping this felt will take care of the remaining dash rattles from that area.

Someone needs a new sig, use this! LOL.

Good plan man, LMK how it works for ya!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Cobb exhaust + Hankook tires + dash rattles fixes have REALLY quieted the car down during highway cruising! Even above 4k RPM the loudest thing I hear now is wind noise.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Hahaha thats hilarious. Be glad you arent in MN where the doors would probably vibrate like a cheap sex hotels bed due to the cold plastic.

Yup, that's a pretty big gaper.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Today I also put more felt all over my glovebox and after nearly 100 miles it hasn't rattled even once! How thrilling...I should sell this idea to Mitsu.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Awesome, I thought it was only old cars that rattled.
I wonder if they would give u a discount on the evo 11?
Are u bringing it up for the cruise?

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Nope. Rmondoh, Planoevo, and myself are flying up. They're probably riding with Spaz and I'll be riding with my dad again.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Tell him not to throw rocks at me this time.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

I'm sure I'll be chasing down rattles myself. Drove my GSX today and it's the first thing I thing I think of besides how loud the exhaust is. I want both of these cars to be relatively quiet, although the dynamat in the GSX helps a bunch. Might be a good idea for the homorod. :D

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

I've been wanting to add some felt in a few spots in my car as well. The cold makes these cars sound like a 1996 Grand Am going down the road with all the plastic sqeaks and other rattles haha

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
 

Have your wife take you to Michael's or JoAnn Fabric or something...that's what I did!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

P.S. congrats on post #16,000 :D
