3? what you gonna do with the 4th one?

 

they sell individual wheels on ebay all day.
nowhere near that price though, and not with tires.

rockstar #2 linked one earlier for $120 shipped.

a set of these in good shape with tires generally run $6-700 not including shipping.

 

but then you are going to have 4 tires in 3 different conditions.

 

the tires are 80%
its no different from replacing a flat/blowout.

I even intend on buying the same tire to have matching tread/compound..

when the first 3 wear down to nothing, I will replace all 4 and keep the one with a little life left as a spare. simple.

 

Or you can slap the mismatched set on your current for sale v1's and bump the price up to $300 with used tires...


I agree, whatever 2 look best, i'd keep then replace the front or rear with a matching set...that'll work. Congrats, man.

 

i see. Please dont plastdip them. The machined aluminum look very good under the sun.

 

^^^

fuck plastidip...
I know it serves a purpose and can look great...but oem finish over money over bitches.

 

I'm buying oem bc I like oem.

I'll let the kiddos keep the spray cans

 

but but but...
s2000's and miatas are kid's cars!

 

Yeah, only immature kids and old pricks drive S2000's.

 

I love the AP2 V2s with the face silver and the gaps painted black

 

That does look nice

 

Love that machined look...perfect balance between silver, chrome, gunmetal, broccoli, etc. My fav wheel finish.

 

In a way though, I don't like the black added...

 

^me neither

 

still my favorite shot my the AP2V2's on my car...aside from never selling my oem wheels, this picture is what keeps me hanging onto them to be able to swap back and forth.

Sell the advans lol.

 

fuk no...I love them both!

 

I like them as is. also, I think im gonna hit up the rep spoiler guy on ebay.

its time to spruce up the trunk lid.

 

Man I can't stop molding no matter how hard I try. Currently in the process of acquiring red leather pieces to complete my interior

 

I think it is much easier/faster/cheaper if you just get your own red interior than waiting for OEM pieces.

 

Go to a good upholstery shop.

 

I've been looking at redline goods. The only thing I need now are door inserts and the tunnel cover.

 

I have the ebay rep spoiler and let me tell you, it's a wonder they only charge $90 shipped. Paint match/quality were perfection.

 

its this guy right?

$90 for a painted spoiler. And it's good quality.

all of my wat.

 

Just searched my transaction history to be 100% sure but yes...oem.thing is the seller.

That looks good!

 

 

Profile view - I too love how the spoiler looks

 

cool shot, T.

 

Sunday is car washing day, decided to take the camera and snap a few pics:

 

bought the spoiler.. should be here in 3-5 weeks

oh well.. it was cheap.

 

also.. test fitted some 8.75" +35 with a 225 in the rear yesterday... NOPE lol
not without a roll and and camber.

it blows my mind that people run 11/10 staggered on these cars.

 

Yeah, it's friggin nuts, man...

Doing research on the timing chain tensioner...I think I'm going to do the Billman250 modified one and call it a day. I get that weird chainsaw sound when I first start the car first thing in the morning. It's annoying.

 

Are you sure that's the culprit? I get that sometimes when either the clutch isn't fully engaged or I don't depress the start button all the way. My tensioner was replaced a few months ago.

 

I am not positive, but I know the previous owner told me that he did not change the tensioner and I would rather not even take any chances. The Billman GenX one has lifetime warranty and is beefier and linear and increases tension on the chain as you go up in RPM/pressure internally. Was worth it to me...

I tried paying close attention to pressing the clutch all the way in and pressing the button fully too...but I still get it sometimes and it always makes me cringe!

 

at least your button works every time!

every now and then I have to press it twice.. (no idea) lol

 

Bad contact?

 

its possible.. its not enough for me to tear off the dash bezel to find out (yet), its not every time or even every other time..

just periodically it'll act like the first push isn't quite strong enough, then immediately cranks up afterwards.
