Thanks bro, much appreciated. I just cut the front springs for now. I know someone is going to flame me outta existence, but it works for now. My sub box drops the rear for me :]

[joegalant]

yeah u will get flamed for that for sure lol ive seen it a few times but i know what its like trying to save a few bucks but i learned to just do everything right with the best possible products bc otherwise u end up having to redo it or wanting the better product but dude those rims look real good on it

[joegalant]

wow that was alot of buts lol

[DTP]

I know, but i did it right, and i will need new shocks soon, so i'll replace the whole strut assembly with lowering springs and struts. People can hate, but my did it on his Integra years ago and it still holds up well. And no, it's not riced out! Haha.

do you push a button so they fold or you do that manually?

well im going to have to do this mod now, my G had a boo boo

looks great

when i removed my mirror i notice the connector that the power mirror connected to had more wire then normal but only 3wires were being used....

Thanks bro!

There are power heated mirrors that work if you plug them in. You only need the 3.

Its a fad that needs to die. Save up until you can fix hail/full body respray in oem color all at once, 'tis what I'd do.

Yes, you are right Ford uses acorn seat lug nuts. So, any closed end acorn lugnut will work. I suggest Gorilla or McGard. McGard makes a fully stainless lugnut, or acorn drive lugnut.

[mrg7243]

Some constructive criticism, you need alot moar low before you can pull those wheels off id swap back to the 3g untill you drop it. It looks like a truck from the rear. Springs are not going to get the needed drop to pull of these wheels. And also get rid of the cobra center caps, I would rock no center caps before those. And not crazy about your headlight lids and being chrome. Just my 2 cents not trying to be a dick,

[Skyforger]

I'd get the 8Gb headlights or JDM heads, 225/45 tires would be your best bet with the Stang wheels. As for the Cobra centercaps, leave 'em.

IMO, you don't need to go any lower than that.

Yeah I know, you're right on with that one. The deal was killer, and I had to jump on it. Now I'll have the chance to black out my 3G wheels for AX/Winter. I like the center caps, however. I'll be getting something custom made in their place.

I'm looking to scoop up a second set of heads to black + projector retrofit. It's all in due time, my friend.

Plus you say you want to autox, then deff go for the coilovers becuase of the tunability of them.

Whats your price on a set of 8gb heads? I would gladly get you a set on one of my trips to the yard.

Dont get me wrong i do like the cobra and all its a cool emblem. But its a mitsubishi not a stang, if they were like Koukis center caps it would be fine but not the actual cobras. I say take them off I have not cetner caps right now on the GST's and you cant tell from 7+ feet away

Coils are definitely being tossed around. My main concern is longevity because of my driveway. My buddy's RSX bottoms out, and he's on coils. But not slammed.

They run for 20 each. So anything cheaper is welcomed!

I see what you mean. I may not have the caps long anyways. I just need to find blank ones I can wrap or put the triple diamond on.

Lord no! I switched from the 245/45s that they came with to a 215/50. Changed everything.

Hey I think you can buy replacement center caps for them, cause I was considering doing so when I was thinking of getting stang wheels. Try search for bullit center caps. Ones I was considering had target crosshairs on em for the design. I thought it was pretty cool plus they were silver. Other type I think was solid chrome, but I felt it would break up the wheel to much with the polished lip already overshadowing the silver finish (imo). Good choice in wheels...I think they just go well with silver 8g's

Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk 'cause I'm awesome...

235/40 R17 is an odd size...235/45 R17 is a lot easier to find, and cheaper...

Affordable tires in 235/40 are usually brands like Nankang, Federal, Sunny, Nexen and BCT. Start rolling into brands like General, Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, etc, and you'll be paying a lot more. IMO, go with a 235/45 tire. Should be smaller enough to not rub, and still be wide enough for the wheel. Even a 225/45 tire, and they're even more common, and a bit cheaper as well in good brands.

[DTP]

I ran the 225/45s on my 3G wheels. I would've ran them had I been able to find them.

I don't mind it, Dave, but not a whole lot. I'm more function, I need a car that's trackable with little modification (nothing more than usual, ex. spare tire, system, etc.)

I like low, but I need to be able to get down my gravel road. Another inch or so in the front, and one more on the rear and I'm good.

I'm guessing coils will be my best, but yet most costly investment. I still need sway bars, tie bars, and all new lower control arms and tie rods.

Taking all that in consideration, I would recommend as before, 225/45R17. Anything wider, especially on only a 8" wheel will actually look far too wide for an 8" wheel (235/40R17 for example).

What about using eibach springs dtp i believe those are like a 1.8 or 1.6 inch drop.

235 width tire? Too wide? If anything, it's the opposite. With an 8" wide wheel, the optimal width is usually 245 or 255.

I have 235/45 R17 tires with my 17x8 ROHs, and the sidewall is completely squared off by the rim. If anything, the tires I have (General Exclaim UHPs) they have rim guards, and they don't line up as flush as they should be.

245/255 = too wide for 8" wheel

Look at the Miata/Honda guys who track.

195 for 7"
205 for 8"
225 for 9"

[oakrdrs187]

Keep in mind the turning radius without rub. 225/45/17 is best also cheaper option with more selection. I would do 235/40 on 18's

yes, a 235 is too wide. A tire that is too wide is far worse for performance than a tire that is slightly skinny (a 225 on a 8-9" wheel). A 235 may be squared off well on a 8" wheel, depending on tire manufacturer, the optimum wheel size would be a 8.5". A 245 (9.65") and a 255 (10.04") are way wide on anything but a 8.5" to 9.5" wheel.

That doesn't even include how the wider sidewall will handle load distribution and excessive side load. Not to mention fender or suspension clearance issues, especially with a lower offset wheel on our cars. I know you know a good chunk about tires.

245 and 255 are too wide for 8 inch wheels except for autox where you want the largest amount of tire contacting the pavement. There are egos running 275/30/17s on their stock wheels for autox but a 255 on a 9.5 inch wheel for track etc...I've run almost all the tire sizes for 8 inch wide wheels and IMHO the best is a 225/45/17 wide runnitire like a dunlop star spec or a 235/40/17 narrow running tire like the nitro nt05.

[IVORY_G]

Ok what is the drop on the pro kits?I was just recalling from memory i knew they were somewhere around there.

IIRC its like 1.3"

[galantlvr34]

IIRC its like 1.3"

Oh that would be perfect for him then.

[valpen]

I was running 215/45-17 on a 7" BBS RK rim with Dunlop SPsport tires...

Since I joined TGC I've been reading up on what you guys have been writing on tires and measurements and I tried out a mix on my new set of tires...

Since may I've been running Kumho Ecsta Sport LE 215/45 on my front and 225/45 on my back tires with the same rim mentioned previously.
The difference on my tires of changing the tires size is only 1.3% metric and the sway can be +-5%. What I think about having a 7" and 225's on aint really a big deal. The tire does look a little balloony but overall comfort I do like this setting and am very pleased with this setup.

[DTP]

I'll be running 225/45s on all four when I can get ahold of a set of four.

Although I'd like to give 245s a shot. I think it'd be hot. Plus, they'd be good for AX.

It's teh secks. I really wanna tint.

I'll get one when i go... FI. I don't want an aggressive hood with a dainty 2.4l NA under it.

[99 galant]

yeah the monster hood would look great, and if you go with CF and a CF trunk, or just black and black it may look good as well, but I think i would stick with the roof only black

The stang wheels don't look bad either, I like the stance

[wetamup2k3g]

Since both the hood and the trunk are up next, i either plan on colormatching (and finding a trunk with a wing) or black if i have to buy new.

I think once i drop the car like i want, it'll be tits

Thanks! Mmmmm booobbbieeesss... **drool**


lol true

Yeah, it'd be outta place on my car. My belief is that you have to be able to back up the "look". Ex. ricers with wings, stickers, and body kits with a stock engine. Not my thing.

[IVORY_G]

Looks good! I'd leave just the roof black tho, & colormatch the trunk and hood. Much cleaner look IMO.

[Skyforger]

Not bad. Why are the headlights so hazy?

[DTP]

Because they were scratched up. I need to pick up a lens restoration kit. I initially broke out the sandpaper myself.

Nope, just have to modify the white shift thingy it goes over. I can't think of the name, but it's the long shaft that allows you to shift. Just need a dremel.

If you want, I have one. PM.

Actually, it's a 12" Kicker. I'm talking about the white thing hanging down

I believe it has to do with the trunk light, If I had to guess it converts positive current to negative while working with the trunk lid to come on and off as needed. Trunk light is negative triggered, it direct 12v side is tied in with the memory wire on the radio.

-I have 4 LED strips, and two neon tubes that i would like to wire into my car. The neons will pulse with the bass... etc. I got them from a friend, for free.

-I would also like to hard wire in the radar detector.

How would i go about wiring everything in? What should i use as my main power source? I already have a rocker switch and some wire.

Thanks!!

Go to the ignition wires off the key cyinder harness, you will have to drop the dash panel below steering column to gain access. There will be a bunch of thicker size wires, the one that is blue with yellow stripe is constant 12V and the black with white stripe is 12V when key is on, simply open these wires to tap into them or use splice connectors, then if you want connect your toggle switch in between.

What about a fuse? And how should i run the radar detector?

You can connect inline fuses if you wish, though I never have. Like this.

For your radar detector, you either need to find a hard-wire kit online
http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1303826081756&id=2403bcabbc8b2a140f13a08d242a351c

or use your 12v outlet adapter with one of these
http://ts2.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1336235657221&id=a47a9ce3de18ff890c5ffe04f9bb3b31
Notice the regular cigarette lighter socket fits into an adapter with 2 wires coming out of it.

Either way you go you will be left with 2 wires, on will obviously be ground and the other can be direct 12v or ignition switch 12v or with a switch in between, its up to you.
