I bet I could ruin those in one session....
Airflow is the solution to boiling fluid issues. That and not using the brakes so much.

I got mine on eBay for $50 shipped. It came from Hong Kong I think, but I got it in a week. All the ones I could find were around $150 and were 4000 maH, this one was cheap and it is 4400 maH. maH stands for milliamp-hours with a higher number having a longer life between charges. I have a very power hungry P4 2.4 gig laptop with a video card and 17" display and my new battery lasts for 2 hours. That's longer than the original battery lasted by a long shot. Here is the eBay seller:

I think a bunch of the CincyDSM guys that live in KY (but don't own DSM's anymore) are meeting at my house tomorrow. Not sure what time though. Once I know I'll post it up.

which winter tire for ohio and where to mount?

hey guys, i have been reading about some winter tires. based on my search, there are about 5 people are using. i was wondering what you guys are running in our area because that makes a big difference. i have dunlop z rated on right now and last year on the big snow day i tapped a lady from behind which was totally preventable. i was only driving 20 mph and slid 25 yds into her tail. ticked me off. minor damage but now days doesnt take much. I don't wanna spend gobs because i really dont think we have horrible winters but its an evo and deserve good tires for that particular season. i am looking at hankook w300, alot of people like them. good traction when its dry but sticks excellent in rough snow. they are $111 through discounttiredirect.com and i can get them put on for a total of $526 for the tired, mounting, and balancing. the other issue is who to trust with my car. i don't want some retard to take it out for a joy ride. what do you guys think?

I have Sumitomo HTR's. They are a good all season tire for the price. Imo, blizzaks aren't really necessary.

I also run the blizacks. Only reason is I was able to get those and a set of stock wheels for 800...
