there has been wars faught over less important issues then whether or not to use synthetic in the engine. i do, but some dont, w/e, it wont harm anything cause it burn it anyways.
in my experience, i got hella good hookups with oil. just use what you can afford

Welcome..your car looks exactly like mine. haha.

 

really? post a pic so i can compare haha :P

 

 

 

don't waist your money on wheels just yet, you are better off spending the money on suspension.. I think you will find that swapping out the 4 lug brakes for 5 lug setup will be in the future.

suspension like shocks/struts springs and swaybars will interchange between the 5 and 4 lug cars but wheels will not

 

redline/amsoil/royal purple/mobil1 are ok to use

 

did you convert yours to s5 becuase mine is still a s4 and from the looks of it you have s5 lights? am i right?

 

so what do you think about this mod list because this is what i decided on for now since i dont have alot of money currently.

full all around tune up(spark plug, wires, fluids...)
new radiator(or second fan in front of radiator)
new suspension set up
and last but not least....new stickies.

so my engine started this recently...but when im sitting there and even while driving and i rev up to 3k i start to feel a pretty hard vibration, my friend either thinks its engine mounts or flywheel issues.

what do you guys think??

 

Does the vibration continue as you go up in RPM?

 

That looks like a good project!!!

 

yeah it stays consistent it doesnt worsen or get better until i drop below 3k then it goes away.

 

yes it is and im also buying my friends fc for 220 as a parts car. it has the 5 lug and lsd and mazdatrix driveshaft and aluminum radiator and incase i need it a whole new clutch system hahaha im also going to keep the engine and build it as a race motor and ill sell the shell when i take everything i need.

 

Hmm...try using that Mazdatrix driveshaft from the parts car. The vibrations could be coming from bad u-joints in the driveshaft.

 

yeah but what about the vibration while sitting in my driveway and i rev up to 3k?? would the drive shaft still cause that?

 

nope. wouldn't cause it if it the car isn't moving. Maybe a bad mount. Engine or tranny.

 

yeah im gonna replace them when i get started on my major work. right now i dont have insurance so i wont be driving her around too much ;]

 

ok so one of the reasons why i posted this topic was to get some suggestions for rims for my fc. i will be doing a five lug and now i would really appreciate it if i could get some suggestions as to what meshies or rims would look killer on an fc. thank you in advance
