yep built head, pretty much every thing done minus port n polish. but im goin with the alpha series manifold, and gt3076r hybrid with the tial housing. i dont feel the need for the 35r, tho paul almost had me talked into it.

rubbing is horrible on turns...i need thinner walls....the sidewalls are really soft on mine too....i had 225's when i first got the wheels and they looked too sunk in... now im on 235/45's...im thinking of getting 235/40 or 245/40/ my goal is making it look more agressive by getting wider tires and going lower. i plan on doing some fender work to get it done since im already rubbing as it is on turns.

and thanks bro. your car is sick too..hows that motor running?

good choice....gt30's and gt35's are about the same price tho....im afraid that im gonna want more power if i get a gt30 and spending anouther 1300 on a turbo upgrade is crazy. but i have been thinking about a gt30 too....and the alpha series manifold is so sick...pm me how much you got the manifold for. i may want one...i dont think ptuning would sell me just there manifold

NA is still running great. my only issue is that i burn oil alot every 3k miles... i have no leaks no smoke.. nothing. i use mobil 1 10w30 and every 1500 miles i gotta dump a quart or quart and a half in it FTL. i think its because i do about 45 miles of highway driving a day to and from work and im usually cruising at about 70-80 mph the whole time. lol so the oil is probably just breaking down and burning up quickly for that reason. seriously i have NO leaks the engine bay is spotless.

go figure..

i know what your saying with tire sizes. the 235 on the 8" wide with +38 offset is tucking for me just enough with the added camber i have up front but i scrap like a **** for being so low. i think the 225/45 will be just enough to cheat the height drop and sidewalls. ive already noticed where on the tire it rubs so (on the sidewall) so really a 225 should solve all my problems

o shi! i have the same exact issue except im using castrol gtx 10w 30...my motor burns oil too....and everything is perfect...no leaks...smoke or anything. i think your rite. its the constant highway driving and your probably pushing the beast a lot too...lol im never below 75mph when driving to work 25 miles 5 days a week. so i know why my motor is loosing oil. regardless i check it every two days just to stay on the safe side.

i will def let you kno how much but im buying the whole setup so that the only thing i have to fab is the exhaust and the ic piping, ive decided since my pops has a welder im gonna learn how to weld and then do that stuff on my own. and only if i showed you guys what my engine looks like after my builders tore it down, i changed my oil just before my 1600 mile trip from oklahoma to delaware, when i got home i should of checked my oil again so its partially my fault but anyways i spun all 4 main bearings, one of the bearings had to be pried apart.

wow bro! that sucks! my motor started knocking real bad which got me to build the pos....when we opened the motor it was dry on oil...2 weeks before the oil was perfect..but o well...i learned my lesson to check the oil more often...ive been really looking into the alpha series set up from dezod...and im leaning towards it too...there manifold is sick.
