  • Valve Cover Gasket Replaced + What spacers?

    Well after 204k my dad and I replaced the leaking valve cover gasket. I bought the car with 195k on her for 2,500 and I am not sure if it was replaced before. I imagine it must have been done, but don't see it in the records. It went well and I took a few pictures. Let me know what ya think!


    My question to you guys is...what spacers do you think I could get away with running on it?

    The AE AND yellow high looks terrible IMO.

        If you intend on having a fairing, Thule one needs to be replaced with a Yakima one imo...

        I think [*not an expert here*] you could run 15mm all round... Again, not an expert here...

                  Christ you got that car for 2500bones? If it was just a leaky VC Gasket then you got a score.

                  Definitely needs moar low.

                    What are the specs on the wheel/tire setup? If it's any thing near stock, your looking at about 10 front/rear.

                    Just go outside and measure it.

                      $2500??? WTF?!? I actually like the yellow lighting. I'd say go for coils first, then spacers. Looks good though! Still dumbfounded by the price.

                      EDIT: Welcome to the site!

                        I really like the lighting setup for some reason. Good effortzzz.

                          I see what your saying, the yellow looks good, but the Angel Eyes + Yellow clashes too much... I had a similar problem and disarmed my angels..


                          looks nice.....

                          without changing tires you could probably get away with 10mm all around... for iLL stance, stretch those bad boys and run 25mm spacers in the rear, 15-20 up front..!

                          I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought,
                          but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

                            I think once you lower it more w/ stretched tires...you should go 15mm.....possibly even 20mm.....
