jmurda...not all 3 spokes, i'll agree most look like trash...but the advan SRV3s look so good its rediculous. the swoop of the spokes, the fat polished lips...on the old school cars like an 86 the original advan super racings look good but i'd rather have some old work equip 02s for a car like that

Great actually. Working on fixing the little leaks that it has. Replaced the oil cooler lines, rebuilt the OMP, and now waiting till I have to change my oil again before I replace the oil pan gasket. But yeah she still runs great, and pulls like she should =P.

jdawg, yea i fgured but a lot of people overlook that stuff...you needed longer studs? mine fit just fine with the factory stuff, check out ebay i've seen caps on there a few times, yours will be hard though with the black caps and blue anodized lock nut in the middle...and that hubcap that's held in with the snap right...is your in backwards cuz mine has ADVAN etched into it and its gold...

I got a burnout kit

lol but ill look into the hubcaps.... No im using the stock studs but im waiting on my Muteki Long open end lug nuts... There otw and should be on by next tuesday.

How much were the caps running?

ahh...well...to keep it short, hitting the freeway on ramp getting up to speed, "stepping" not smashing, on the throttle 3rd gear, lost power at 4k rpm, engine bad vibration at idle, vacuum gauge fluttering bad, compression tested front rotor @ 85psi, rear rotor 20psi....

i think the motor was on its way out since i got it...rear plugs were always carbon/fuel fouled...wouldnt boost until FULLY warmed (seals not sealing up until warm?)...vacuum gauge needle was always slightly fluttering during boost...i never even really DROVE the car...it was 95% daily driven, with a couple spurts of spirited driving here and there...never saw the drift track...saw autox ONCE...yea these are the signs that i shouldve payed attn to the whole year that i drove it... the prev. owner got the engine from makado motors..."supposedly" had 60k on the jdm engine...had no paperwork to prove it...so the engine could have been older, or abused before it was swapped in...thats why im gonna have ben aka karack rebuild it so I KNOW, how many miles are exactly on my motor...
