My indy's new tires.

Post by indygurl »

Here are some pics of the car after the tires got put on and i had them put the rims on right. its weird how one little thing can make it look so much better. also put the center caps back on.

EDIT: BTW she shifted smooth it was amazing. But the fun part is having the FE7 suspension and the fact that I felt every little bump with these new tires aired up. Hit a stick in the driveway and could feel it.

Ah she looks great! I missed out on buying an Indy for a great price once, and I've regretted it ever since. Glad you're saving this one!

Did you wax it? Looks four times better. I'd bet you need new shocks a struts, but that may not change much on the ride. Sounds like I should buy FE5 springs.

Sure like to here about progress. Really there should be just one topic though.

Well I add stuff to my members rides thing but its so far at the bottom that noone can even see it. I have lots of pics that I will be posting tomorrow that we took of the girls today. But all I did when the tires were done was wiped her down. would have waxed her if it wasn't for the 50 mph winds. But the girls got cleaned today. Brought them to the front yard and took some good pics.

Hey, this is offtopic. But when you wax the Indy use Meguires Cleaner wax (I think thats what it is called), looks way better than turtle wax, I couldn't believe how much better my GTU looked, much shinier and deeper color than I ever saw it before (I was just using the cheap turtle wax stuff)

car looks good though, but damn you need a new hood lol

FE5 is not a Beretta RPO code btw... It's not even an RPO for springs at that, lol...

We just use a quick turtle wax spray. used to have mothers but the last of it got used first time i cleaned her. haha. interior cleaned up good but part of the driver side has to come up so i can fit the wet vac in. we had a huge thunder storm the other day and the car still had a slight leak on the driver side door. had about 2" of water on my floor. the wheels are used got them cheap but they are still good to get me going til i can get money. once i start working it will be alot easier for me to do what i want with this car. need to upgrade the suspension because it is so rusted. redo brakes all around, brake lines, new exhaust because the one on it has holes and no cat, get rid of the stupid tip. lots of work ahead.

Huh? what are you talking about? FE5 from what? lol

FE5 is an RPO for Cobalt SS shocks/struts, also Bonneville GXP, Cadillac CTS, and could be other things too. But not a Beretta, I've never heard that RPO associated with an L-body (Beretta/Corsia)...
