That's what I'm talking about! Can't wait to have her back on the road again.

I have the mock setup for the bolt on trap door system for the oil pan. I just need to make sure the design allows enough flow for the oil pump since nobody has any idea on how many gallons per minute our pump flows at certain low and high rpms.

I guess that means the community is still somewhat alive?

I dont think they would fit. I wouldnt go higher than 225s on them.

225 should probably bethe widest you would want to go on a 7" wide wheel unless you want to take a turn and have the increased chance of a blowout.

245's on a 7" wide wheel...don't do it

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

This may seem like a dumb question, but do the stock struts have to be replaced if I swap in tein springs? Its only a 1 inch drop, would it effect it that much?

Nope.

it's the spring rate that will cause any effect to ride comfort. If you're doing lowering springs get the regular protege struts not the ones for the MSP so you dont' have a hot rod style rake.

What's wrong with the hot rod style

nothin, I've been rockin it for 4 years now. I read it as he was replacing his struts since they were stock (over 10 years old) so he might know about the different spring perches. I fail at reading sometimes.

So its confirmed, I broke a shift fork. Unfortunately I also found out that the teeth on my third gear are looking pretty damaged. You cant see it well on the picture but they are definitely not right.

 

[theevilm]

Well if I decide to keep the stock struts, are there any springs in particular that you guys would recommend?

Yeah me too. Im getting a replacement 3rd from sam and ill be in touch with PAR regarding that gear. It looks a lot worst in person.

Before getting coilovers I really liked the Tein ones.
