I can never make my mind up on rims. I always like a new look. But I'll be done for now since I just spend 1400 on nitto tires . And I'm spending money more on doing my single turbo conversion here this month. Just waiting on more parts

yeah I know what you mean...I change my mind on a weekly basis when I try to decide which rims I'd like to buy. I just got my self a set of used old-school Volk Challenge F-Zeros for a great price, so they will do for now

What turbo are you going with for the single conversion?

That's a catch can for charcoal canister particles. The charcoal canister is a way to vent gas tank pressurized air into the intake track. I have to dump mine out every couple of months because it fills with charcoal. Some people vent the charcoal canister to the atmosphere and remove the solenoid and plug the stem on the UIM. Up to you and your local laws.
