Upgraded from one Crappy Ride to Another

[SHO_SHANE]

Cool ride, don't see many of those on the road anymore. Though I would've kept the stock wheels until funds allowed something nicer.

Thanks, I'm in a spot right now so the 20's were my best bet. I'd like to go to some nice 17's when the money starts flowing again.

[SHO_SHANE]

LOL Shane you always post and you always get picked on.

Dam Bob I cant believe your still running around this dump. I've seen your riding, good stuff.

[bluecollar]

Pretty much what has already been said....

Nice ride, lose those wigga-tastic wheels. Take a pic, throw on craigslist, sell to some balla wit a caprice. Use cash to buy something decent, maybe even have a bit left over.

[Shaggin Wagon]

Well Shane , I would have done the same. Put them on so at least you can drive the car safely, then sell them or trade for some wheels you do like.

For the people that are being encouraging thank you for the kind words. For the other assholes that are cutting it down and think they were being cute with their stupid ass tags well fuck you. I'm very lucky to have a great friend to GIVE ME a brand new set of wheels and tires FOR FREE. NO its not really the style I want to go with on the car but I see no reason why they cant roll on the car for awhile until I get in a better place with work.

As far as the 9in rearend is concerned, I wasn't asking if the car had one under it. I was telling yall weather its stock or someone put it in the car that the car has a Ford 9in under it.

Just stop posting cut downs because you think your funny. I never rag on someone's car just because I don't like it. All your doing by ragging on the car and the owner is showing how small of a person you are.

If you want to help, maybe your a falcon guy and know some things I should look out for then please let me know. I'd love the help, this is only my 3rd falcon so I don't know everything about them. Learning as I go. :-)

Sorry, didn't mean to make Hulk smash. Car is cool. I really think that's an 8", externally it is similar to a 9". Finding an OEM one for a Falcon is near impossible since it would have come on one of the high performance models which are really rare.

I would start looking for a nice set of wheels. Thank your friend and give them back to him, lol.

Do u know the difference between an 8" and a 9"?

She does!

[SonicblueGT03]

Two quick ways to tell what rear end you have. First, look at the back of the diff and check for the "hump" (there for ring gear clearance). The 9" will have it, and the 8" will be smooth and round, with no hump. Second, look at the front side and check the two bottom, center bolts that hold the carrier to the housing. If you can get a socket on them, it's an 8", if it requires you to use a wrench, it's a 9". Also, you can look for a fill plug on the back of the housing, if it's there, it's an 8".

I would have done the same thing, I just wouldn't make a thread about it.

That being said, I would panhandle on the corner until I could afford some plastidip to paint those wheels black. It wouldn't make them cooler, just less "in your face, period totally incorrect".

Hope you get back on your feet soon.

Wrong forum for thin skin.

Shane quit being so sensitive! No room for woman shit here. Its the board you know these guys are gonna fuck with you. So deal with it or get a box of Tampax

[Country cracker]

Dig the car but would be embarrassed to be seen in it with those wheels. Why not post them up on CL for sale or trade. I'm sure "some" would just kill for them. In the end it is your car and you do what you want with it. WOMEN!
