Buy an OEM Mitsu TOB to go along with that ACT clutch.

I was wondering about that. That's one of those things that you get varying opinions on.

Just curious why your bein a dick and have to ask such a stupid question? Anyone that has a shop is going to defend it! You would to and youd defend yourself if people talk shit!

That makes sense. The ACT kits for the Evo 8/9 came with an OEM Mitsu TOB at first too; seems like it takes a few years for the Chinese factories to catch up.

This is the RE30 in himetal bronze, a special order color. I'm going to get a price quote.

4g63tcrazy · 01-11-2010

Wow! I love that color!

rose0529 · 01-11-2010

Do it! Love those wheels on the X

sleepydsm · 01-11-2010

I think those would look good too!

Ronnie S · 01-12-2010

They were $3100 last time I checked. I found them as low as $2800. Depends on size too. I was checking out 18". What size are you planning to get?

I doubt I'll get that good of a price unless I get lucky and find some in stock somewhere.

I've read that an 18x9.5, 28 offset will fit 275/35's. I had previous thought that 22 offset and 265's was as far as you could go without rolling fenders...so I was surprised to hear otherwise.

**scheides** · 01-12-2010

Gotta be honest, not a fan of the bronze. Nice rims though! 275 is nice

I bet online somewhere you could probably get them for a deal off some forum special of a vendor. I've found that's the best way to new-wheel shop. Of course they'll all say "PM for pricing". I bet someone like MVP Motorsports could cut you a good deal.

I ordered the Volks today. Vivid Racing actually had a set on order and I should have them inside a month--of course I don't need them until late March or even April.

The Full-Race manifold came today. The welds are very nice. Think I should wrap them or have them hi-temp coated? I'm not sure how to go with that.

Constant_Project21 · 01-12-2010

Thats a good looking piece, it would almost be a shame to wrap it.

**goodhart** · 01-12-2010

Wow, that is a beautiful manifold.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 01-13-2010

I would say don't wrap it, but do get it ceramic coated inside and out. It'll help keep underhood temps down.

FattyBoomBatty · 01-13-2010

Nice. I say do a clear ceramic coating so you can show it off!
