didnt work on my 18inch x 7.5 with +42 offset, coz the spokes of the 18 went back in towards the inner lip

thx for Irawan / visage from exe-crew.com for helping me thru this installation...
______________________________________________________

SOLD MY 18inch racing hart

reason being: cannot fit with my new big brake upgrade. not enough clearance.... lucky the 17in with offset +40 can fit it perfect....

damn... i gotta look for the replacement.... miss my gold rims...


now the exhaust header...
i order from draxas and then modifed the primary pipe to 1 7/8inch, then getting smaller to 1 5/8inch, coz that the size that i am aiming for my exhaust port once im done with porting the head.... (thx to mazda3zoom for the head....)


once again, thx to mazda3zoom, ssinstaller, and visage

hell yeah, looks sweet man. Cant wait till you get that head done and get some pics up.

And i must add....it was SOOOO tempting not to install that brake kit on my car and "test it" for ya for those few days i had it at my shop.lol

And you said you miss your gold rims, why dont you just get the ones you have on there now powder coated gold? it would be cheaper then buying new rims right.
