Yeah, and a few other things. I didn't like the chrome with the new paint job. I was thinking about painting the section around the windshield soon, seems you can't remove it to replace it without removing the windshield.

no the wheels i want are 15x7 which have a 40 offset and 15x7.5 which have a 32 offset, and i want to know if i can run the 15x7.5 with 32 offset without any problems?

You should not have any problems but there is variables.Like tire size,and how low the car is..You run a lower profile tire you should not have any problems 32 is not a very low offset...At worst you will have to roll the fenders which is super easy to do.

this sounds noobish, but the combustion chamber is in the block right?

combustion chamber = spot between pistons and valves where the fuel/air ignite thus causing combustion AKA cylinders...

[4g4dcruisin]

nice gotcha...may have a problem with my water pump. broke off a bolt for the water pump so its not exactly as tight as it can be, thus allowing air to be sucked in thru the pump...causing weird shit to happen.

[360eg6]

ouch. i hate broken bolts... and the water pump isn't exactly in a convenient location

[dcobeo7931]

finally back from the field i love all the pics of the cars....cant wait to start fixing my car up

[Bigdaddy3314080]

No but out of all the honda I have had only one didnt end up with a broken bolt at the pump. I have always used the rtv sealent dabbed it around the outside of the seal then run your finger across to make an even layer and bolt it back up. I would wait 12 to 24 hours to run it but I have also done it imediatily and never had an issue. But that is if you can remove the bolt that works just fine

It was a joke bro, you seen hitch hikers guide to the galaxy?

32 offset is still reasonably high, i don't think you'll have much drama. It could come down to the wheel's spoke design. If worse comes to worse, you could always run spacers.

dude that suck! i have that same issue, its especially happends when i get off the freeway! i was told, my block guard cause my b18c1 to overheat lack of cooling, which caused my head gasket to blow, coolant leak thur the coolant over flow reservior . my nephew ej had blow gasket and warped melted piston!

dirty car

had a hour of sun today... then it was back to rain

[EKwillister]

Mitsu, I think I saw you today. Lawrence expressway around midnight?

[Change]

I saw my old sedan yesterday at a meet. Was interesting too see. It was almost the same as I had sold it except for the engine swap and the wheels.

Sadly I broke my AW11 that night on some twisty back roads and had too pay an arm and a leg just too have it towed into town. I gotta go pick it up today its about an hour away with a broken steering rack.

32 offset is not lowoffset. you can run 25 without any problem. it doesnt matter how wide your rim is, it matters about the offset. of course depending on the tires, youd be able to make clearance.

Im running 15x7 +10 offset, doesnt bother me at all.
+10 front
+10 rear with 5mm spacer=+5 offset with camber kit maxxeddd

Well, im running negative camber. if you dont want to camber your wheels, dont run lowoffset wheels. in reality its like this. You either go low and slow, or fast and not low at all. so you sacrifce handling once you go slammed, and ride quality.

lowest profile you can run on 15 inch rim is 45 series, thinnest tire you can run on this wall height is 195
195-45-15
lowest profile for a 16 inch is 40 series, pretty sure 205
205-40-16
