Hm .. What kinda DIC do you have, UMfan? On the unfancy one, there's just a "Check tire pressure" section that lights up when the pressure in one or more tires is at a significantly different pressure than the others.

I don't know what other kind of DIC's there are, I just know mine. Are there photos/descriptions that tell about the different ones?

I figured that having a GTP with the HUD would give me pretty much all the bells and whistles when it came to DIC options.

Wonder if Canadian GTP has this option on the dash of his 2002 GTP.

In that case, I have no idea.

Yep, that is mine.

Looks like no "low pressure" light for me.

That sucks Bobby. Start taking the bus. Don't drive that thing around on a doughnut. If you are going to do that you might as well get 3 more.

BOBBBBBYYYYY what are you doing!!!!!! Do you wanna destroy your differential? Get that friggin spare off that front tire and put it on the rear where it belongs.

This goes for everyone else out there. If you have to run the donut spare put it on the rear and use the good rear tire up front. The difference in tire speeds will tear our fragile differentials to heck and beyond. It' basically almost as bad as doing burnouts on a continous basis. The lucky part is your not pounding it with HP like you do when you do burnouts.

You know, sometimes it's the simple things that slip our minds, thanks for the reminder Herc. That wasn't anything I was thinking about.
I think I'm going to go buy a used tire at lunch today.

Technically at first, carbon fiber isn't high gloss. It's .. carbon fiber, that's all I can think of to describe it, but that stuff can have dangerously sharp edges .. They coat it when they use it for hoods and stuff. I'm sure it protects it more, though in my opinion it should just rot off, but uh .. I'll be off now. lol

Oh yeah, that was the same car that was spraypainting his wheels black. Now that's a sad sight.

Didja find a tire, Bobby?

I think Bobby should save his differential by putting a matching donut on the other front wheel. It would give his GP that "dragster" feel to it by lowering the front. wink

Ha funny you said that. A buddy of mine back in high school (yes I remember back that far) used donut spares to lower his VW bug. Now that was a sight.
