Random question - is American International Racing still in existence? The website looks like it was updated in 1993, sent them an e-mail but just curious whether I should expect to ever hear back

edit: nevermind, got a reply very fast and apparently they are still producing parts

Im looking to get an aftermarket wheel, the only thing is that all the wheel hubs I find are for 90-94 911s. Is the 89 wheel different than the rest or what? FYI Im looking at momo wheel adapters.

For Example

What brake fluid is everyone using these days? Street car, no real track days as of yet.

I'm running ATE Blue but its no longer available in the US. You can get ATE Type 200 (Gold). Its the same without the blue coloring.

Seems like ATE Gold is a tad better than Pentosin. I was also looking into Castrol SRF and Motul 600, but I believe as those are more track fluids, that they would require a flush every year or so.

I am very happy with SRF ... In all 3 cars ... But only needed if you are tracking
It's expensive but worth it for the anti fade ... Better than any dot fluid

I use SRF as well in my Road/Track Day C4. Fluid is twice the price of Porsche Dot 4. The C4 requires 2 litres.

SRF for me too. Have used it for a number of years in various cars both track and road.

A friend recommended it who was a tech for a Le Mans LMP2 (winning) team. If it can work in those extremes, then its got to be good for my humble use.

Im wondering if these wheels will fit my c4 coupe narrow body

fronts are 18x9 with an offset of 28mm
Rears are 18x10 with an offset of 42mm

From my calculations I think they will, but another opinion is greatly appreciated.

I really can't see those fitting bud. Check here:

Rears are OK, fronts are way off.
