Hey, just wanted to know if you guys knew of any hardware stores that sell ABS... ive looked on the internet at like homedepot... couldnt find any plain piping...


thanks for your time, and if we needed to make a sticky about different tire selections, this one should be included... as well as a million other things...

i think you have to go in your home depot-lowes-or any major hardware stores to get some. ebay ahs they also cheap and precut so i say ebay

menards only has pvc and abs in 1"

lame

Okay, ABS is really hard to find if you dont look in the right places. I searched every hardware store for more than a day and came up with nothing. Then i called several plumbing supply stores and also came up with nothing. Then the final plumbing supply store i called said, "ABS? they only use that stuff in mobile homes and RV's, try calling a mobile home supply store". So i did, and they had A POOP TON of 2" id ABS piping. I went, bought 3 feet and it cost me like $3.00 (US Funds). So, i would check with a local RV and mobile home supply company. I am almost positive they will have what you are looking for. Hope this helps!

THANK YOU MIKE!

that was a huge tip...

ill look for some tommorow...

but the ebay ones look SOO nice... eh... prolly photoshoped[:'(]

once again thanks for the help, and if anyone knows of anywhere else that has it, please, do tell...

the "popular aution site" ones are nice, because they are turned on a lathe for trueness. But they come at a price. For three dollars i have made six full sets of drift tires (thats 24 total tires). All i ad to do to make mine real nice and pretty was: Mount the tires on the rim, chuck the wheel through the axle hole on my dremel, turn the dremel on, and smooth out the sidewalls and surface with a piece of sandpaper while the dremel spins. It was really quite easy and the results are very nice looking tires, you can see mine in this thread (all of my cars have the ABS tires cut by me).

In my opinion they look just as good. You can do it.

no the ones on ebay are sweet i got 2 sets for like 9 bucks usd with shipping they are the shizit on my ntc3

guess what i have in my basement [>:] a nice big lathe to cut and sand... lol

now i just have to call a mobile home place

ps. how DID you make that muffler? it looks sweet!

There is a right up in that thread with the pics on how i made the muffler.

That is awesome that you have a lathe, you should cut some tires in custom widths (cause the "popular auction site guys only make ones that are 26mm) like 30mm. That would be freakin sweet. Then you could take over that guys market and make some money $$$
