nothing. technically FMIC, but that's only because they don't come with them stock. he's already got 2 12" electric fans, he's got the gauges installed and ready to hookup, and turbo timer sittin in his room. he's gonna go stock boost for a while and even use the clutch that came with it. He wants to make sure the motor is well and good before he starts modding it.

RYAN NEEDS TO GET SOME WIDER TIRES!!!

He isn't going to be able to hook up that well with the ones he has now.

BlueBOB · Sep 30th, 2003, 03:56 PM

He wasn't concerned with width when he bought them and i doubt he will after he gets the motor swapped in.

I talked to him about it Saturday night...he is worried about it now.
*shrug*

i'm not sure but i have a thought that his wheels are only 6.5 wide... i could be wrong though. It might just be that his current tires are just smaller than what he can put on the rim.

EDIT: according to www.enkei.com, his wheels are 7" wide. he should be able to put fairly decently wide tires on those wheels... whew

at most 225s

he needs some 275s in the rear and 245s in the front
