what were the problems with putting on spacers?
--------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

Changing studs was a very easy task. Only timeconsuming. You had to use plenty of WD-40 to soak the studs and then punch them out with a hammer (gently of course)

Okay, didn't know that. Had some trouble with the back end (removed the hand brake pads) but is was doable. Only solution for you then was going with a high offset (48 or up) and use the H&R DRM series spacers. Which justs bolts on.

But OZ Ultraleggeras are also beauties and to add spice to them I have started painting calipers... orange. So you suggest that in order to be able to carry the cargo I should drive to you with my wife's van, not the GT4?

Unlucky with the TE37's mate. I was going to buy a set with a 42 offset (I think it was +42 or maybe +46
 ) but then got lucky when I found a set with a +38 offset! The OZ's look awsome so I guess it was a blessing in disguise for you!

Small update: 3" downpipe and Apexi AVC-R were installed. It's lovely to launch the GT4 without boost-cut on the 1st gear.
Shopping list for next stage is ready: - new gasket - forged pistons and rods - light flywheel - Stage 2 clutch - ARP header bolts - 255 lph fuel pump and pressure regulator already sit in my garage I will see how much it will improve the power (with increased boost, of course). If not enough, I will need to go with better turbocharger. -------------------- '94 ST202 - tuned, highly apprieciated, but sold.

No more power with boost at 22 psi? I know that 16 psi is max for stock 3S-GTE and that's what I'm running on now.
