    im trying to decide on tire size and spacer size. thinking 25mm spacer and 205/50 tire. not going to be 100% flush... maybe i'll go with a 30mm spacer....

    that happened to me in colorado with my ek.
    it filled the front air dam and i didnt realize it un till i had been driveing on the freeway at like 50 for about 20 min and it didnt warm up. it was also hella bumpy and that i couldnt figure out either it was like driveing on square tires turnd out my winter steelies where packed with snow too. so i feel your pain
    but its still funny

    ok, motor decided to give out today.

    4age coming out on sunday, SC motor going in next weekend. i ordered an Exedy Stage 2 clutch (3 puck, sprung, like my s13) to go in as well.

    tires are going to have to wait for tax returns for the VS-XX.

    time for boost. :D

    Awesome to here the SC motor is going in, I can't wait until the day I can buy one and swap it into my AW:) . Do you know why the 4age decided to stop working, or what part of it stopped working?

    i think its a blown head gasket due to that coolant leak that i had. it got air into the system and from where the lower radiator hose eventually gets to the thermostat. its a problem area because its higher than the rest of the lower radiator hose, then the thermostat blocks it until you bleed the coolant out. (that $27 petcock i got was for that bleeder, but it stripped out when i installed it :()

    anyway, coolant loss (over 2 gallons in a 5.5 gallon system) will eventually cause the motor to blow. i knew this, but honestly didnt care about that motor.

    i got the motor from a guy in Columbus, Ohio. i found him (or rather he found me) off www.club4ag.com :thumbup:

    they are now mounted. (after figuring out how to use the machines... it was my first time). one of them balanced without any weights i double checked with the teacher making sure i didnt fuck up on something.

    they will be mounted on the car for sure tomorrow. i decided the kosei's will go out back. i want the azenis up front, and im much too lazy to move all my tires around.
