Cudos to them...bought, shipped and received in a week or so.

I installed it yesterday... works premium. I had to drill out the shifter rod end though, my only gripe...the shaft on the SS was a little snug to fit on while installing the transaxle. I had enough in my hands doing the install solo.

More projects to go:

MaxHP chip install
new magnaflow SS muffler
new plastic bushings at shifter (did the drill-out procedure)
awaiting my 18 inch TTs...

Thanks for reading, I'll be here all week.

I know sometimes people aren't real big on the 18s, but they really improved the road feel and smoothness in my car. That may seem a little counterintuitive, but its the truth. My old wheels were 16" phonies that I was merged into a curb by a trucker with, so they were pretty bad when I replaced them. The only problem with 18s is the cost of the tires. I found some pretty good deals at Costco. When 1 was destroyed (nail in the shoulder of the tire), they gave me cash for the amount of tread that was left. They couldn't get anymore, I had to get one from America's tire. It was cool to get $100 toward the purchase price, though.

Rick,
Do you have an sound clips/videos of you exhaust? Once I finish this head gasket/timing belt/water pump job I'll be looking for a nice exhaust, one with great tone, but easy on the ears...I'm asking you because in my opinion the 16valve cars sound a little different, and was hoping you had an example.

Anytime you need tires send me an e-mail i have 18's and 19's in stock porsche sizes with 50% or better tread left.

FYI...I priced 18s all around, and found that INCLUDING shipping, duty, etc, Tirerack was the cheapest...ranging from $800-$1200 depending on brand.

Once my 18s arrive, I'll be ordering new tires from them.

What will you be doing with those nice 16's on there now?

alex

If you have Costco near you (not sure about Canada, I know they have at least 1 in Mexico), you might try them. I got all 4 for $680 US.

I believe Rick has those nice 16's for sale. Been tempted myself! Check the Canada forum...

crooster,
What wheels are those shown in your avatar and what size?

IIRC I think Crooster's are 16 inch BBS. Hey buy them, so he can buy mine!
