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

 

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.

 

looks good. would look much better with a drop. good decision on changing the wheel color. following brett's thread? VD is showing some promising numbers for him

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

 

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.

 

looking good

 

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...

Do you happen to recall the gap?

 

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 ......

 

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.

 

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

 

Nice where did you buy the iconol to do that?

 

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

Inferno Shield

 

I like those lines slash, who makes them?

 

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.

 

Good to know for future reference. Thanks

 

Looking great!!!

 

Thx man!

 

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

 

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

 

Well if your ever near Auburn. Hit me up.
