It's herrafrush.So low it drags over pebbles.Sick.
You shouldn't have a problem finding 255/35's in 18". I'm almost positive that's what I ran with my RPF1's on the RX7 fronts.

I'm running 17s
So,this is as good as the pics will get for a while.On the way home yesterday the car started missing really badly and throwing a cylinder 2 missfire code.After doing what I could at home with limited tools/resources,swapping coils/plugs/etc around to isolate the problem,it looks like it may be the cylinder itself....I'll be bringing my compression tester home with me Sunday.

Sounds like your luck is very similar to mine, Chris... Hope it works out to be an insignificant fix, but that doesn't sound minor at all.

Yeh, sorry to hear that. And I could have sworn that they were 18's. They look very good!

Highly doubt there is an engine prob, most likely it's a coil, though u said you checked it...

I have some extra obd1 injectors, but unsure if they interchange. Let me kno if you want Ill be happy to help you diag.

Still no new pics of the wheels on the M3.I did fix the miss.Turns out the coil harness main connector wasn't locked into the chassis harness.It would just sort of rattle around and lose connections.The bad part is I've never unhooked that connector,so it's been like that as long as I've owned the car apparently.

A couple laps at VIR this past weekend.My first on-track footage with the GoPro.In fullscreen at 1080 it looks pretty good.

Finally got my Supra getrag v160 6spd installed! All new parts, the trans was purchased new and sold to me at cost from a forum moderator on clublexus. It has a Powerhouse Racing 3.5" Custom driveshaft, Clutchmasters Stage 4 from SPracing, OEM flywheel, Billet tripod pushings, stock 93-95 shorter throw shifter, 3.26 geared sc400 rear diff (TRD Lsd is ready to go in this but I installed it without initially),
























My stock w58 setup is for sale as well! 92k miles still on the stock clutch.
