Hopefully someone can chime in.

Thanks for the info

Dave had 10's on his car at one point, but I can't remember the offset he had.

As a matter of fact, I found his post about it:

So, with that offset, you will probably have to run spacers to bring the offset down because the backspacing might be too great at +45mm, at least that what I gather from his post. You might need a roll and pull of the fenders then because the spacers are gonna make you poke more.

Offset talk gives me a headache cuz I don't understand it lol. I messaged Dave to see what he thinks.

Thanks for the link.

No prob Alex. Dave should get you going in the right direction.

Don't know how accurate it is http://kgm.tiwing.com/calcs/offsetcalc.htm

The wheels are sold. Oh well it was worth a shot!

Decided to change my color scheme.

This is silver artery which is gonna be the base for the top coat.

Gave her an oil change and wash inside out.


Tucked away the throttle cable. Thanks to ivory8g

AWW YEAH SON! the "ivory8g cable tuck" in full effect :)

[spdracr]

Haha yessir. Now I wish we could use a shorter cable so we don't need to have long ass thing hiding behind the engine!

Looks good, do you have the 6g72 TB on?

I said the same thing. I was like man can I cut this thing? LOL

[wetamup2k3g]

Ugh, I love that color on the valve cover. The pics aren't doing it justice, it's so vibrant!

Looking good Alex!

Thank u Greg. But that is the old valve cover. New one isn't on yet. Still gotta match radiator brackets and then install them all together. And then doing my other brembo sets and installing those so I don't have her sitting on jack stands.

Forgot to update this. That color was a base coat for my new color.

The final product!




I will match my brembos. Rad support brackets and my new power steering reservoir.

Haven't done much lately. I decided to make my own ground straps in hope to fix my misfiring issue.



I also ordered gas shocks for the hood. Got ones that uses hood hinge and fender bolt to mount so no drilling and no riveting. Ill post pics once I get them.

The ground straps helped tremendously!!! Voltage is solid and now the car pulls hard and smooth. My rom issue is gone and my revving issue is gone as well.

I installed 4 ground straps. One from the alternator the strut tower and one from the transmission to the stock grounding point like Brian suggested. I also added one from the back of the intake manifold to the firewall and one from the valve cover to the strut tower by the alternator. I did 2 pulls in 2nd and 3rd and I was able to redline each gear with no problem. No check engine light yet but I only took it around the corner. Thanks for the help guys.

What lengths were those? I'm sure I could use some of those

I bought 10' long 8ga wire and just measured how long I needed each one to be and cut it to that length. All 4 were about 5' roughly. 5/16 wore terminal is what I used for all of them except the alternator bolt I used a 3/8 terminal.
