Corbeau seat brackets.

Valve cover is powdercoated "silver vein" color, it's hard to notice with the crappy pics

Well, got the car back from MAP last night after fixing the shifting issue, and the car ran like shit.:( Well, I burned up the 5 month old gas on my drive back to St. Cloud, filled her up with fresh 92 oct, popped in some new plugs, and tada! Car runs like a champ :D even the Coil On Plug!!!

Only problem is now is that I can't seem to get any traction, even with a welded center diff. I didn't think these tires were this bad, I run Falken Ziex 912s, maybe one of you tire shop guys can chime in, do they really suck that bad?!?!?

I ran BFG G-Force t/a KDW n/t's before

Good to hear man!

no traction on awd? lol! nicely done! anyways, for tires; dont get the Falken 912s because those are leaning towards more of the "all season" tire. If you want traction for summer/rain use, I'd suggest these for you:

- BFGoodrich G-Force Sports
- BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2
- Falken RT615 (great summer tire)
- Falken 452

whats your tire size?

[goodhart]

Well its too late for the Falkens, I've had them for about 6 months now. I got a good price on them at the time so there's really nothing I can do about it now.

I ran the original BFG G-Force T/A KDW before, which is now the G-Force T/A KDW 2 now, and those things were great, especially in the rain.

The tires I am running on right now are 235/45 17 I believe, don't quote me on it though.
I plan on letting it warm up and trying again today, cause I'm sure the cold last night was the main reason for the tires spinning.

[goodhart]

Well I just took it for a drive. After the car wash however, I was getting a lot of backfiring under load. Pretty sure it was just the wiring harness to the COP that got wet.

After that though, it got kinda smoky on deceleration after boost, and only after boost. I think it might have just been some unburned fuel (cause the exhaust was popping pretty good) and a little bit of oil, which it has always done.

EDIT: I think I'm gonna do a compression test just to make sure.

Also took some pics, but they turned out like shit.

If you want some good summer tires the Sumitomo HTRZ II and III's are both great tires for the money. I've run both, and really liked both. The II's are cheaper but the III's are stickier.

[Halon]

I run the III's in 235/45, and I like them so far, although I'm running into issues with spinning them now too. I'm sure my crappy rear camber isn't helping the situation. Hopefully they work a little better once I get the camber worked out.

[goodhart]

OK, just drove it some more and my tires are 225/45 17's and they still suck even in the warm weather. :mad:

I really did not want to buy new tires.

Ditch that coil on plug and go back to a stock ignition system. I guarantee you'll be happier with the way the car runs.
