thanks man, i got the pad from Josue6WGN on here. iirc they dont make them anymore, youll have to find them in the FS section...i could be wrong tho.

finally got the wheels back(yesterday), boy do they look good. havent had time to snap any pics other than one sh!tty cell phone pic. decided that im going to go with a gold similar to the BBS LMR1 wheels. then ill be getting some spacers to make her flush.

Gold will look good, this car reminds me a lot of my Red 02 P5 I had from October 01 until April of 2010.

i think the gold will look good as well. any pics of your old p5?

Alright. havent updated in a while, but a few things have happened. Head unit installed, with the brake bypass. ordered gold paint from grimspeed, got the wheels primered, painted the insides of the wheels today(duplicolor gold). ill let the pics do the rest of the talking. Cheers!

Met up with my buddies lexus and got her clean

More pics of when the wheels are finished, tires are still to be bought. spacers are on the list as well. not sure if ill need different lugs, been looking at the sickspeed lugs lately..possibly red hmmmmm

once i got my wheels(17x7 +45) on i was going to be getting ahold of you for them. not sure if ill need to get extended lugs or not. from what ive read and what i understand, +35 is flush with the body, but 8mm is as big of spacer i can use with out getting longer studs, so i would be at +37 with an 8mm spacer. i think i can deal with a 2mm difference.

im just worried about how much thread there will be for the lugs after the use of spacers..

Just a heads up...I'm on 17x7's with a+45 offset and my rear fenders rubbed and I had to get the fenders rolled. I'm on bfg g-forces, That might have been what did it tho. Car's lookin good though! Keep it up!

 

[itsjbeck]

what size tires are you running on it? and how was your experience with fender rolling? (if you did it yourself)

 

[82735]

225x45x17's I had my friend whos shop put them in roll them. But I hung out with him while he did it. Used a heat gun so there is no cracks in my paint. I was in an out in 45 cause we were bs'ing.

 

[itsjbeck]

i was looking at getting 205/40 idk if ill have any rubbing issues with that. rolling wouldnt hurt to have done anyways. ill have to call around and get prices for it as well. what suspension are you on?

 

[itsjbeck]

another issue i have is that there is a "cow bell" clunk sound coming from the back suspension. it only happens when i go over rough patches on the road or hit a bump. ive been searching around and am not sure of the source. ill try to get a video of it today.

on another note, anyone have sugestions on the best way to clean under the hood. tooth brush and elbow grease...chemicals that work best...places to stay away from etc..

TIA!! (cheers)

Regarding cleaning under the hood being very careful to cover up distributor and such use: P21's Total Autowash or Amazing Roll-Off Multi-purpose Cleaner, then to shine it up use Stoner's Trim Shine.
Use a Horse Hair brush for scrubbing those difficult parts. I may be doing mine this weekend too.

 

[us3r]

if u have 17" wheels go with 215/40/17 or 205/40/17

 

[82735]
