really interested in the new tires. ive been eying those myself. let us know how they are.

Gbaby2089 Feb 22, 2010 04:52 PM

are you going to lower it?

apexanimal Feb 22, 2010 06:43 PM

no lowering... i would like to, but no go with the wife...

i'm not expecting these tires to be a miracle, but from everything i've research on them, they're pretty damn amazing... i just wish tirerack picked up falken so they could be compared directly...

Gbaby2089 Feb 22, 2010 10:02 PM

hmmm it'd look pretty good lowered, what color are the slips?

I like the white slips man! And for the caps, why not just paint them urself? I helped my friend paint this Drag center caps and they held up for years

535 shipped for the wheels/lugs
450 shipped for the tires


i'm thinking about painting them myself, but figured if someone wants the carbon caps it would work out...

not sure... if you get on wheeldude.com they have a list of what caps fit which wheels...

did some research and it looks like they're 2.66"/68mm in diameter...

no pics:

-piaa super silicone wipers (24/16) - love these wipers
-piaa intense white h4 headlight bulbs - waaaay whiter color and a bit brighter to boot



what's next:

-white rota caps are on the way... that'll clean up the wheel centers quite a bit...
-airbox-to-tb pipe... going to remove the crappy oem piece and fit a 2.5" pipe in it's place to smooth out the flow

apexanimal Mar 24, 2010 09:53 AM

talked to a friend who did some of the hardpipes on my ptgt, and he's making me a 2.5" 90* tight radius pipe to connect the airbox to the tb... he also teflon coats them to help ward off heat soak...

he's putting a prototype pipe together right now and he's going to send me some pics w/ measurements to make sure that it's going to work alright...

more to come.
