Hey Sal, are you bringing your car to the Reptile Roundup? There is a track event in Gainesville on Nov 6/7 and many are going to a car show at Fantasy of Flight on the 8th. There is a Cobra Corral area being setup.

I have a bottle of nitrogen in my garage, I use it to fill shocks on my buckshot sand car, but its used in tires also. Will not leak thru sidewalls as much as just air. Goodyear slicks are really bad. Big O tires in central calif use Nitrogen and will refill your tires for about 5 bucks I think. Also pressure will not change as much when tires heat up. Use in all my performance tires.

If there's any liquid R-134 left in the tire after you shoot it in (all doesn't flash to gas), say your tires reach 100 deg during driving, the pressure could go as high as 87 psi.. Say you drive aggressively (120 deg tire temp), your pressure goes up to 170 psi. In most cases the pressure increase won't be as dramatic. Point is folks, it's very dangerous. Use a can of fix-a-flat or "plug 'n patch" it where she sits, that's what i do..

BTW.. the thing that pulls freon outta systems.. recovery machine, got two of 'em.. It's what helps pay fer the toyz
