Did it ever get weighed? How about fe?

[guitarterry]

please, there is a whole link on that car out already. This is for stuff u can actually buy. a custom built car is great. Most of us dont have a custom car shop. this thread is for us. The guys who do, go to his thread.

I would swear somebody has did this but i was wonder what the best package would be if you had all the parts available.

[guitarterry]

right frank, this is for parts, not custom cars built like stock cars

I'd say go get an xfi, or all the xfi stuff for transplant

YEA, MAN, DONE......Except I still haven't done the exaust....I wonder if 2" would be to big.....Not enough back pressure...??? Or I'll do what Hacksaw was thinking of and build a header (I have a flange plate allready) , Then run 3 individual pipes out the back with small mufflers WOW

I think that the performance advantage of an exhaust pipe comes not from back pressure, but from suction produced by the momentum of the exhaust gasses in a tuned pipe.

I have my 145/70R13 tires on 4.5" wide rims and everything looks and rides perfect according to the pocket auto reference guide 3 to 4.5" wide tires are fine to use with 135/50 and up tires and 135 tires have an assumed side wall of 85%, so that is a rather tall sidewall, so i would think 5" wide rims with 135 R13 tires would be fine, 5" wide is common on alot of 4 bolt by 100mm spacing on alot of Japanese cars with 13" rims, geo's often have 4.5" wide rims, same with the civic vx, crx hf, and a few other cars built for mileage.
i got my 145/70 R13 tires from a NEV dealer.
