Shits already for sale! At least I wait until I get my cars befor I list them for sale :P

Car is going to be sweet when it's all done though! Let me know if you need a hand wrenching once it warms up a bit!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

For sure. I'm probably pulling the ad though. Then they can focus on buying yours I'm sick of telling people I'm not sure I wanna sell it.

As far as wrenching goes. Ill definitely need a hand when I hook the BAP up. Hopefully we get nicer weather soon it's getting cramped in the garage.

Ads pulled from Craigslist. Now your can sell faster :p

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

WTF is going on?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Me and Brad both had have our cars on Craigslist. Lol. I put mine up before it was even at my house just to gain interest. Lol

I pulled my ad so know Brads will sell faster! Less competition.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Brad's already selling the spyder? LOL that was fast.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

So back on topic. I got some questions about tires. So far I've found a few that will fit my 16x7 rims.

1. 245/50/16 nitto ntt55r price $600-$650
2. 255/50/16 toyo TQ $600-$650 (might rub)
3. 225/50/16 hankook rs-3 $500
4. 225/50/16 Dunlop dz101 direzza 101 $450

What sucks is the trend is going to 17" for drag radials. So with that said for $200-$250 I can get into some Hoosier QTP's in a 225/50/16. Problem is not sure if we can run them in SA or SA/U class. So if anyone has chime in and let me know.

Trying to take into consideration weight. All above tire minus the QTP's have a weight between 24-27 lbs and the QTP's come in at 21or 22 lbs.

Another option is a good performing summer tire. In a 225/16/50. Ive looked at continental contipro extreme's and they weigh 21lbs.

So not sure what to do but obviously need to make a decision. So any input would be great or ad a tire I might have missed and ill look into it.

Picking up a mishimoto radiator w/ slim fans tomorrow, and working with Kevin from delta cams to see if HKS 280's or kelford 272's are good for me since I can't degree them as I want to run stock cam gears.

Ill be home all weekend doing stuff to the car as wife doesn't want me far from home since the daughter has surgery this morning.

Plans for the weekend are get the carpet dyed black, put interior together, clean up engine bay and start tucking some stuff. Need to delete the cruise cable box. Get all my gauges installed, clean up wheel wells (dirty), paint calipers, throw away rusted rotors.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The DZ101 offer little traction.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Get QTPs in 16s so I can use them.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I've read good things about the nittos just worried that the sidewalks may be to stiff? I put them in order of what "I" and have read would work best. I was just thinking that for a few hundred more I could get the Hoosiers. Just don't want to get classed out.

As far as the dz101. I thought a lot of the evo guys were running them over the star specs that's why they made the list.

Again not to many tires to choose from in 16".

Think I'm gonna dig up the old map rules from last yr and see what I can find.

You's funny! But can be arranged I guess.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Awesome! These are what I put on my car last summer for street tires lol. But the Dunlops hopefully are better than the riken raptors that were on the car lol. I haven't hardly gotten to drive my car so I can't comment on how they perform

I'll sell you my dz101's for $400 lol. Maybe 300 miles on them max. They are 225/50/16

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Sounds like Shane chimed in to early or else I probably would. The direzzas were on the bottom of the list but I do know that they are no the worst ones out there.

I probably would buy them though if you wanna package them up with the kosei's. ;)

As far as traction for you just tune with your 101's and rock the slicks on the street! Lol

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Lol idk if I could let go of the kosei's ;-) but I would mount and balance them for you lol. Yeah i figured they aren't the best when I bought them but I figured I'm not going to get traction on the street regardless of what tire I run so I didn't want to spend too much on tires

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The R-S3 may be in the same class as the Star Specs, but the DZ101 is two down two performance categories on tirerack, and only ranked middle of the pack there. Definitely nowhere near the same performance. Maybe you were thinking of the ZII?

The nt555r and TQ are both drag radials, the R-S3 is more of all around high end summer tire with stiff sidewall, popular in autocross. If this is a mostly drag car then I vote go with the drag radials.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I've been using this thread to determine what will work.

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/freq...tires-fit.html

So the nittos by that guide are 3.1% taller than stock and the TQ's are 4.7%. Both are colored in orange and says not recommended. Concerns? Or do I listen to the guide?

The only tire that I have found available in a recommended size is a 225/50/16 and those are all all seasons. So performance wise I've only found the QTP'S.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Ah I didn't see that the nittos and toyos were not the same size. I can't find any drag radials in that size.

Since this is AWD you should be fine with the R-S3, they are a very good tire and you can have some fun in the corners with them too.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

It's looking like either going with a high performance tire in a 225/50/16 or the QTP'S.

Is the 3% taller on the nitto 555R a bad thing though. Total height for the tire is 25.6 inches

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Not really a big deal, your gearing will be a little longer, and on the highway you'll be going a few mph faster than what the speedo says. Tire height is like .7" more or something, I have run tires that are 3-4% taller in the past.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Then ill go the nitto route since I know they will fit on my +40 offset. Much appreciated for the input.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Picked up a few things and ordered a few others.

Mishimoto with dual slim pullers and mishimoto overflow

Also picking something up tomorrow to she'd a few pounds. I will post pics once its installed.

Pretty much now just waiting on delta to contact me back about cams and a few people to finish a trades with and I should hopefully have everything I need and I can start putting it all together.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Very nice, that turbo inlet is giant, 4"?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

What turbo is that?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Sooper secret special! haha

It's 2.375" OD

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Turbo is definitely not über secret. Ill spill the beans once I'm tuned. Some of you already know, but if you do a little digging the info is out on the web.

Picked up some black fabric dye today so I'm gonna give my carpet a bath so I can start putting the interior back together. I'm using the nethod I found on tuners so its pretty straight foward but ill get some pics.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

It's a I'll do anything to win stock appearing turbo.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Got some stuff done a finished pulling all the black interior, and fog lights last night that I needed. Engine bay may be more chromed out than id like but over all I think it should look good.

Dyed my carpet black. Turned out really good and was cheap to do. It's drying over at Joel's house.

Also took the remote start from the 99.

Plan is to start putting the interior back together in the next few days and start cleaning the engine bay if we get nicer weather.

Still don't have my turbo and debating on kelford 272 or HKS 280 re grinds both from delta. That's pretty much the last thing I need to order. Then the engine can get put in.

Car may be SA/U now depending on how the rules shake out. Have to see once there posted so I'm waiting to buy tires till then

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

turbo looks like a turbolab extended tip 11 blade billet 20g =) wow thats a long name, now i know why turbo companies use number to repersent turbine and compressor wheels..

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

It's not a 20G :)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

found it =)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Let me know how those hood pins work out for you. Seeing as how my broke ass never got anything to put them to use.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Not sure if your serious. Lol. But yeah there is a description of it on there Facebook but is not actually what the turbo is.

Ill let ya know on the hood pins for sure. Should have pics up by the end of the week.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Looking good. Should start warming up next weekend. Rockfalls opens next month.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Hopefully the weather gets nicer. Really wanna get stuff done, im gonna tinker for a little bit tonight.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

So I passed on a cf hatch for now since its pointless to buy one and not do lexan since the glass is the heavy part.

So I did this for now.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Looks good. Did you use rattle cans or a paint gun?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Rattle cans. I have to redo it now though as I'm terrible at following directions. I ended up with a really rough finish. So after reading up how to accomplish a smoother more even finish I'm just gonna start over.

It says to
Light base making sure you can still see what your dipping(wait 20mins)
3-4 heavy coats spraying it on so the object your painting can no longer be seen (making sure you stay close to what your spraying)
Wait 20-30 mins between coats.

Good thing it peels off nice though and only wasted one can on what I did.

Also got some more parts in the mail.

AEM rail with gauge
Fuel lab filter
Aeromotive fpr
Lines
Walbro hp 255 mounted on 2G awd hanger (no broken lines)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Nice! I'm thinking about just doing the whole talon for now since it needs to be painted. Probably just get a kit from dipyourcar or something. Where did you get the plasti dip?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Ams aluminum pipes
http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps58005f12.jpg

Fuel shit none of it is need for my build but the price was right

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps529ab037.jpg

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The Home Depot!

I'm not sure if your have to use there gun but if you do talk to polishmafia as I think he had a gun may let you use it. I believe he did his whole galant.

Sidebar:

Seems like I've been down this path before and a lot of people are waiting for a partout. Not this time, I actually want to finish this one.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

i know james pretty well i talked to him for a bit, i posted what it was but i edited it and just put "found it =)" i figured you didnt say what it was for a reason so i i wont post it.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I know you don't have to use their gun but I was looking at the kits cause they come with a gun. for doing the whole car a gun would be really nice instead of trying to use rattle cans lol.

I want to see this thing done too! no parting out! lol
