275/35ZR18. I get back in town tomorrow. Not sure when I will get them on but will post up pics.

slash128

Not the greatest pics, I will try to get some outside later. The rears rub a little over bumps and pulling into driveways, but expected it. They are flush with the fender. Color definitely doesn't match, but I had planned on painting black anyway. Though it is a nice color.

Just waiting to paint until Fazda has a chance to try them on. Can't really lower the car due to my driveway being very steep and it drags already when I back out...

I have been following Brettus thread. It's looking good! I'm just jealous

slash128

Stripped the front wheels. The deep blue was nice, it was actually growing on me, but it just didn't look right against the phantom blue of the car. This is a royal pain! They will be painted black once I get them all clean.

Did you wind up getting yours powder coated? Did you have any concern about baking affecting the integrity of the wheels?

No way all the guys in the plastidip thread say it's so easy

Slash8 if you are considering powder coating just talk to them about it, make sure they are experienced and aware of the issues when baking aluminum wheels. Often they just say, "well we have done a ton of wheels and never had an issue". For the most part it is pretty safe but i would suggest using a place that primarily does wheels. But paint is better.

Heh I am thinking about plasti dipping my turbo!

Thanks for the advice

I didn't take them. I called a couple places and the place that had the most experience was roughly 2hours away. I decided to buy more parts instead of take them in. now Im just waiting for all the rain to stop so I can raise my car back up. it's dumped lol I hate it. I can't go anywhere without scrubbing something. I don't understand the hellalow guys...

Slash , I when I had issues with misfires on the stock coils , I increased the dwell time above 5000rpm by 5% ...... Fixed the problem instantly ......

slash128

Ok thx, that will be a quick and easy test before swapping out coils and plugs. Now just need the snow to melt

Finally got around to replacing the rest of my omp lines with ss/Teflon. Good thing to as they were completely clogged.

slash128

Also a home brew omp shield. It's ugly but should do the job.

Nice where did you buy the iconol to do that?

slash128

This is actually stainless from an inferno shield I pulled apart, but you could get the inconel version of the same inferno shield:

I like those lines slash, who makes them?

slash128

Thanks I made them I just picked up the line in bulk along with the crimp clamps and used the original banjo fittings. I got 12 feet of the line from a local hydraulics shop, but only used about 10 feet. Altogether it cost about $35. I crimped the clamps with channel locks.

Why cant you guys be on this side of the state. We need more turbo 8's over here. Looking good either way!

slash128

Lol, thank you! I actually find myself over on the west side pretty regularly. When the weather gets better maybe I can make it to a meet of something...

Winter is not so bad, lots of time to take care,of little odds and ends
