I have a leak in my LR somewhere. Can't find it for the life of me

rebelyell22 · 02-09-2016, 08:20 PM

Not the valve stem or the bead. Hope there's an invisible screw somewhere and the wheel isn't cracked.

Jack the air pressure up and spray it with soap water all over, big bubbles will reveal the leak.

I did. Still couldn't find it. It's like 1 psi a day

and you checked the valve stem needle?
Did you completely take the wheel off the car and check? I'd find it hard to believe you've got a cracked rim unless you did something that may have caused it.

Getting sick of this cold weather lol

Also holy shit the new 1LE is stupid fast. 3 seconds faster around Willow Springs than a standards SS, and the standard SS is supposed to be faster than the 5th gen 1LE. Or as fast as the 5th gen. Holy moly

Yeah but doesn't do much good if you can't comfortably sit in a 6th Gen..like me.

Good point. I think I would definitely fit in the 6th gen but I know I wouldn't like the smaller interior. I think the 5th gen interior is already a little cramped lol

I sat in a 6th Gen 2LT at the Portland Auto Show back on the 29th and even with the seat all the way down and back I still couldn't fit comfortably in it..I'm 6'2 and about..250ish lbs. My head was above the upper sill on the window, my knees were up into the steering wheel..just wasn't nice.
My girlfriend is 5'6 and about 125lbs or so and she didn't like it much either. We both like the 5th Gen and I comfortably fit in the 5th Gen, but they just went too small with 6.

I honestly think GM intentionally designed the car with an "upper limit" of about 5'11.

I'm 5'10" and about 150-160. I thought the BRZ interior was small so I would imagine the 6th gen interior would feel about the same. The 5th gen interior dimensions are very similar to the old Accord I had, so roughly the same feel inside in terms of space. Anything smaller just felt cramped.

Still need to sit in a 6th gen obviously. But I'm not sure I would upgrade to it. I think I'd rather get a C6 or C7 for the next car.

I'm 6'2" and I fit just fine in the 6th gen, of course I only weigh 135. Soooooo that would be a big factor I'm assuming.

I'm guessing "Skinny jeans" on you look like "loose fit" jeans on everyone else.
