The shop told me I didn't fit very well due to my awesome ebay header does not sit straight so a couple extra bends had to be made. Also at the back the exhaust sits really close to the sway bar and frame rail so the muffler had to sit off to the side just a bit. But overall I'm happy with it. It's hung nice and high and sounds really good. Super quiet inside the car. Haven't heard it outside but my friend says it sounds kinda like a fart can. Not good but I don't care, sounds good inside hahaha. They also put in an extra o2 bung so it's wideband ready when I get my aem.
Fixed the wiring issues. Got my front lip put on. Also started working on a flush mount spoiler I got off a Renault in the junkyard. Toe arms are here and ready to put on. I bought a vafc2 and wired it in yesterday. The clutch is now officially broken in and the car sits at 534 miles since the swap. The exhaust will hopefully be getting done next week. Making steady progress here lately. I'll upload some new pictures tomorrow.
I have seen a bunch of them online in 5 lug and better sizes. But it'd cost me a boat load of cash just for the same wheels in better sizes. I could probably pay someone to get mine right for the same amount as a 5 lug swap and a new set of wheels.
Ah that sucks man.
With the wheels. There are more options in sizing with the 5 stud versions. Although im not sure how common in the US they would be. Also this car is mint and makes me want a set of those wheels. badly.
Car broke down a few days ago. Went to start it when I got off work and lost power to everything. Figured out today that I lost connection between the fuse box and battery somewhere. So i put the battery back up front with some temp wiring and drove it home from my boss' s house. I'll need to trace my other power wire to figure out where the break is when I get time. Still runs great though. Hit vtec for the first time on my way home. Pulls hard. Way better than the old f series.
The blue car is my brothers. It's a pontiac perisienne on 24's. Not my cup of tea but whatever, he digs it. I do wish my front wheels were the same size as the rears. Not to much a fan of the stagger. They're only two piece so I can't change them but I got a really good deal on them and they kinda just fell into my lap. I haven't seen another set I'd like more on my car other than maybe some bbs Lm's or rs' s.
I'm sure the 5 lug swap is possible on the tegs. I was going to do it to my car but I like my current wheels to much.
Got my oil pressure sensor deal straightened out and am well on my way to getting the clutch broken in. Currently I have 190 miles on the car since the swap. Runs like a champ though I still need a knock sensor and an o2 but they're both on the way. Still need to get my exhaust done as well. Been running it open header and holy shit is it loud
They fit so wheel. Tire fitment looks mint aswell. I guess if you can find the wheel you want in specs you want easy it doesn't matter so much.
