    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    I got a killer deal on some MK4 TT wheels with brand new Bridgestone Potenzas on them, and I'm hoping I'm not doing something dumb by getting them. They're the "chromed" version, and the sizes are 245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. Are these gonna rub?

    You could have heard a pin drop

    I know wikipedia isn't a great source, but this is the best I can do right now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-American_relations Look up Clara Morgane, Luba, and Audrey Tatou. Look up the first two when you're not at work :)

    Look what I got today!

    This is the truth. I crack my sunroof and then put a reflective cover behind the windshield. The dark tint on the windows helps tremendously, as it gets very hot here in NC in the summer.

    We wouldn't have the United States of America without the French. They have been an ally for many years, we should thank them.

    :wtf: Anyways, if you had checked the FAQ/tech tips section you would have seen this thread on the first page http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58308 It's heavy, probably around 110 pounds. Even without oil, it's about as heavy as the stock auto.

    Looking to change auto to manual.

    One of the wing brackets is different on the R154. I just completed my swap this weekend and it's still fresh in my mind. I'd recommend you buy the braided clutch line from driftmotion, it saved me a lot of time and headache. The N/A flywheel is different. Check the TSRM, it's got rivets in...

    better gas mileage?

    I know this. I calculate that she'd have to drive 80,000 maintenance free miles to make up for the premium she paid on that car (at $4 a gallon) to make up the difference on what she overpaid for that car. Simply laughable.

    better gas mileage?

    Did you see the article? She paid $7300 for a GEO METRO. A car that was $9000 back in 1995! She paid more than 5 times the KBB of the car!

    Dont know if i should put it back to gether or not

    That'd be terrible to waste the shell. If it's straight and the paint is good you might get someone to buy it as it sits.

    Thrust Washer, what happens when it goes out?

    It's not that difficult to understand, but there are a crapload of pieces and breaking one while trying to remove it or dropping something and getting all the parts out of order could be a horrible way to learn how tough it could be. I'm mechanically inclined and could probably do it, but in my...

    Tranny Swap Price

    I still say the safest bet is to take the bare minimum you think it will cost, and then double it. That's how all my projects end up turning out :)

    Thrust Washer, what happens when it goes out?

    Find a local shop that will work on manual transmissions. They know what they are doing and can get you up and running ASAP.
