Random question for AI. I bought new tired for the cop car today since the fiat won't be fixed by next week and I'm planning a road trip. Should I mount them on the gold STi BBS wheels I have and toss the poo poo tires and wheels back on and sell it when I get back or just put them on the cop steelies and hope I can get $500 more when I sell it?

How goofy would a cop car be on STi wheels? The will be too tall I'm sure to put on the STi ever, and the outback can't use that bolt pattern or it would be a no brainier.

I'd wonder if the centre bore was even vaguely compatible. If it works I'd love to see it.

I just dropped enough money to buy another beater on kitty teeth. Worth it though.

Hrm I didn't think about that. I assume it would be ok since I put the other set of 18's with the star specs from the STi on there for autocrossing.

I'm a little surprised, since the GD STI wheels are a 56.1mm centre bore and Vics are 70.3mm. I think you'd have to hog out the wheel.

If the 18s are aftermarket... generic aftermarket wheels usually have a 70-something centre bore, in which case that should probably work and you should put hub centering rings in when you use them on the STI :)

e: I guess unless the aftermarket wheels are lug centric blah blah

drat it won't work without spacers then. I was going to go get one from the storage unit and test fit but I guessit won't help.

You guys getting excited about the tech specs of that generator, here's another mind blowing fact - two decades ago (when I was sort of involved in that industry) those things generated around $30,000 worth of electricity every hour. Back before Y2K when everyone was flipping their poo poo over the possibility of software generated blackouts, I just sat back and laughed. As if the power company would let that kind of coin slip through their hands over a software glitch.

I used to design maintenance equipment for things like that, where they talk about downtime not in days or weeks but millions of dollars. Just to drive the point home. One of our customers did a test retrofit replacing a GE turbine with a Siemens turbine, and the project budget was 83 million bucks. Siemens had to promise that the gain in efficiency would pay the 83 mil back in 2 years. They paid it back in 8 months. And that was the improvement plus downtime over the GE turbine. Pretty mind boggling.

Re-read this, I made a few glitches and have edited it like 3 times. Sorry.

Neat, my grandfather was involved in y2k fixes in a lot of nuclear facilities around the country before he retired. The budget of these type of things is mind blowing.
