turn your pm's on yo, I'm running a 5mm spacer up front for really no reason and i do believe the rears are spaced out via adjustable upper and lower control arms.

400 for rashed rims, i wouldn't do it..you can find a clean set for around that much

Appreciated it man.

Spooled; how do I "activate" my PM? I'm in there looking around and it's something about "setting rules" or some s***; pretty confusing. LOL

So I think I have pretty well talked myself into going kat instead of swapping. What did you guys do for managment since we are obdII looks like options are limited. I know there are a few mail order tunes out there but I would almost rather be able to mess with it myself to learn more about it. I have 2 ka24de motors in my garage besides the one in my car now. I planned to put a kit together and slap it on the car at low boost. I am going to also start building a forged fully built motor to swap in when it is all put together then up the boost. What do you guys think sound like a decent idea or should I build motor first then do all the crap at once. I just think it would be easier to work bugs out when I know what I am starting with works.

Thanx dude, I appreciate the compliment. I just need to get like 10-15mm wider tires front and back and it would sit a lot better.
I am buying tires in the next couple weeks for the same wheels. What size you going to go with on front and rear.
LOL I still have the picture of your car at an angle as the background of my work comp. One of my favorite Koukis!

Thats a hell of a compliment dude, Thanx. As for the tires, im currently running 225/40 front and 235/40 rears, with plenty of room left to go even wider. Im thinking of going with at least 245 or 255 width tires for the rears, and putting my 235 width tires on the front. Spooled on the other hand is running 225 up front and 275 out back, and the rears sit pretty flush, but 275 width tires are too much meat for us NA guys. :chuckle: "Too much meat" :chuckle:

i love a lot of meat on the rear

as for management a lot of guys use s13 ecu's to tune with. I heard consult ports are the way to go like the Nistune, I wish this was available back then:

hmm.... will the s13 ecu plug and play? I wonder if I can find a write up on it. What are you tuned on? I looked at some of the nistune stuff seemed like the kind of thing I was looking for but they dont' seem to work (from what I have read) with the 97ecu.
