Nothing but the one I sit on everyday. Got too many little issues to work out before blowing $100 on a dyno run to put numbers to how fast the car feels. Speaking of which, got another video uploading right now. I absolutely love the sound of this car with the new cam. Very throaty. Like Matt's sweet voice in my ear after he's been out boozing all night. It's grinding through Pinnacle right now and will be uploaded soon.

VC is still leaking, bastard. Gonna fix that tonight.

I hope I can get them mounted this week some time.

Nice vid, I like the wheel slip. I assume that our dashes are the same. She hit 80 pretty quick.

Heheheh. Told you they were big....

Yeah, pavement was a little wet and she slips like mad. Our dashes are the same. AFRs were at 10.5 at WOT in 4th, but I'd rather it be rich right now with my alternator issues than lean, so I'm not complaining.

you may have to trim up the rear fender lips some. to run the 225/40/18's i had to take a di-grinder and grinding bit and shave down the rear lip. i still get slight rubbage at full lock in front.
i run 215/45/16's on my integra and dont get any rub at all unless i hit a good size dip around a turn with the suspension preloaded
225/45/17's are going to be a bit big i think

Shouldn't be too bad though on his stock suspension. I run the same wheels and tires on Tein coilovers and only had to roll the rear fenders. I only bottom out when I have two adults in the back. That's going to change after tonight when I pull my 150-pound loaded sub box out tonight and sell it.

i ride on prokits w/ KYB agx's. with the 225/40/18 which is pretty damn close in size to a 225/45/17 i had to trim the rear lip and still rub a lil at full lock. you probably wont be able to run a rear camber kit due to the rear fender dependant on the offset and backspacing of your rim. but good thing that with the prokits my camber isnt off to effect tire wear virtually at all. i get about 25-30k out of a set of tires easy.

Thanks guys!

Off to the shop to replace a coolant hose on my buddy's RX7. We have to pull the tranny to do this. I'm really not looking forward to this job. Damn rotor heads.

so cool man, never had to merge right from an on ramp, Canadians merge left, atleast in Ottawa.

 
Rep Power: 291

^^^^. I've merged right onto the freeway once in TN. It was quite fun due to the fact I was driving a Northstar V8.

Good looking video Foos. Glad to hear you are ditching the subs....

Why does he get to use the shop and you are in the barn?

 
Rep Power: 0

LOL - because I don't like paying $6/hour for bay time if I don't have to. He doesn't have a garage. Plus the shop is only open from 11-6, Monday through Saturday. No thanks.

dang, mr. mechanic here.... u gonna work on cars when u get home to the states Clint? by that i mean professionally

Nah dude. Been there, done that as a second job when I was stationed in Texas. Fixing other people's poorly maintained POS's gets old in a hurry. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here.

When I retire from the military, I would like to open a small custom fabrication/tuning shop as a hobby. Basically use it as an excuse (and tax write-off) to buy bigger and more expensive toys. Plus continue to help folks out who love working on cars and making them go faster.

sounds like a plan there Chief...where you retiring to cause you don't look THAT old....
