Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

I've been driving the car a lot!
To do list:
- Empty catch can.
- Pop the new diff in and speed sensor.
- Order new wheels and tires.
- Get an alignment.
- Clean wide band O2 sensor or order a new one if cleaning it doesn't work.
- Put the hood back on.

What wheels and tires?
-
Nothing too crazy.
These for the front with a 10/15mm spacer running 245s

For the rear running 265s

I'm debating on the platinum (link for the front) or the hyper silver (link for the rears). What do you guys think?

What catch can are you using?
-
uh....gold?
They don't sell a gold rim in those sizes. Kinda mad but I can always paint them.
I just ordered the platinum becasue there was a sale on them and the hyper silver 17X9 was sold out. Here goes nothing!
Also got CAtuned 15mm spacers for the front, hub centric rings and I am about to order some g-Force Rival's. 245 and 255 both 40/17
What catch can are you using?
Misimoto

You're going to love the Rivals. I couldn't believe the difference they made on Brad's truck, night and day over the Nitto NT01's. Hook much better in a straight line too.
Great to hear!!
Now I hope I'm okay with the platinum look for a while...
@DrLeadFoot

So, when are you snapping halfshafts?
Did you end up getting the CAtuned ones? -
Not yet but I will in the future. I'm not looking to beat the crap outta this. Controlled fun. If that's possible
@DrLeadFoot

With 500+ Ft-Lbs and 265 rivals your halfshafts will not last long
In for placing a bet on how long
It's actually pretty cool to see twisted splines on a halfshaft. -
-
As long as you are not consistently launching, I wouldn't be 1 bit worried. Looks like you are more into roll racing anyways.
That's what I like to hear! I know how flimsy that rear end is so I don't want to push it with burnouts and banging gears.
@DrLeadFoot

If you want to do burnouts, buy a Camaro!
