whats makes the coupe lighter...........i do like the coupe since it seems to be more of a car look....but i think i would prefer the coupe being a convertible....plus the hatch seems to have some aftermarket tail lights as the coupe does not |

its there for fire safety......it could help i guess to protect paint from heat damage but it mainly there to sufficate a fire incase u get an engin fire....the plastic clips that hold it to hood will melt when a fire starts and the fiberglass or whatever its made of falls on engin sufficating fire..........at least thats whats its supost to do..........i dont have one on mine either..... |

ok 17x8 45 +5 offset=hellaflush.....so +5 for frnt and back?........i want a nice clean hellaflush look on the back....even if it it means diff rim size then front.........however unless it will look good i dont want it to be that noticable.......not sure if 18s in back and 17 in frnt would look good......or 17 in back 16 in front......or just straight 16s all over......or just straight 17s all over.....of course with the right offsets....dont get me wrong cuz i also want the front to be flushed as well....and keep in mind i wana keep what little power my car has not make it any slower....this stuff is tuff cuz i dont wanna make a choice and then regret wastin my money on it |

wow almost forgot i had this post on here.........just learned somewhat bout offset and spacers on another post......so what im really looking for is good show as well as performance......plans: flushed and have performance on street, and at the drags....would like to take it to x races some day....drift is out of questoin since its frnt wheel drive.....drag however i think itll all have to do away with street rims and tires, slicks in frnt small what nots in back |

my thoughts are to try and do this without useing spacers.........possible with 16x7 50 or 45.........or 17x8 45...........what would be better performance wise.......or is what im askin basicly tring to start fire with water.....they dont mix is the 50/45 the series of the tire or your offset?? 16x7wheels w/ 205 or 215/45/16 tires with lets say 5+offset should give you the look. keep in mind though the lower your offset and the wider the rim the more chance you have to rub on something. A Tein S-tech spring drop or 1.5-2in drop should be safe IMO. sry yes the 50/45 is series...not offset..........................ok so 16x7 45 with 5+ offset would be better performance wise then 17x8 45 and ? offset.........also how flush would the 5+ offset make it?......... |

if the the pwr stering valve is not nessisary then ill pass on that unless i can get it from you for a low price.........the knock sensor i dont know how much they run so i dont know what to base it off of......my hopes were to get these parts under 50$....or all three for 50$....but let me know whut you can do...your knock sensor is it original? chiped? cracked? brittle? |
