but I kept the Milles, those are Atix-5's. Can't really see the wheel here, but even from this angle, you can tell they're not the Milles.

 

very clean car man. i really like the titanium edition.

 

manny, link no worky...and i think your tires are on backwards...cuz i use to have pzero neros and the lettering is suppose to be cursive on the OUTSIDE and printing on the INSIDE...

 

Oh yeah now I see it. Never realized how alike the headlights looked on those two cars

ok so disregard that whole comment in my last post. LOL wrong car, wrong wheels

So you have 3 sets of wheels now? or did you sell your TE's?

 

yup, you're right, it says clearly on the tire, EXTERIOR, damn idiots @ discount.

I'm not wearing Pzeros now. That pic was when I had them on my 4g, the tires I have on now are UHP's. I actually have 2 Pzeros for sale in that size, if you know of anyone interested.

My 4th gen is rollin on my TE's now. I have Milles, Atix 5's and the tracklites. The Atix 5's are out of production but the style is common as I've seen replicas everywhere, in fact the 3 has 1 relplica and you cannot tell, besides the fact that its much newer....less beat up.. from close of course.

 

and here's what those others look like.

 

nice setup...so what are the gains of lightweight 17s?

 

That has yet to be proven. I did get better MPG with them.

Butt dyno approves, but thre humblemaker will tell all. I’ve also been thinking of doing a couple of comparisons using my WB datalogging capabilities.. i.e. speed gain with respect to time, trying to keep conditions as even as possible.

 

Nice Ride. Very Clean.

 

Very nice! I have yet to install my Hotshot headers, but I have installed my SAFCII. Are you auto or 6spd?

 

Im auto . . . . . .

 

I was wondering when you were gonna post up.. Real nice budd, looks damn fine.

 

wow your car is ugly. JUST KIDDING! I cant say it enough i love your car and I cant get enough of it

 

i have same color TE
yours is so damn CLEAN.
what do you use on your car? washes/polishes, etc?

 

Snowstorm FTW... Will have more pics in the morning. Just 2 weeks ago, we were in the 70's
S-techs up front = snow plow

I couldn't make it up the hill (with the snow plow mark) So I had to aprk in my front yard FTL/W



Imagine if I had a front lip

 

Even though this thread was started for my 5th gen... Here are some snowy pics of my good'ol 4th gen.


Ya the Pebble Beige is somewhere under there.

 

Love the color. Car sits pretty darn even! S-Tech fronts and Progress rears???

 

That is correct. Very even drop.



Handling
Progress all around + Illuminas =
Looks
S-techs in front + Progress rear = with respect to LOOKS. BUT
Handling
Front (stechs) are bouncy as sin. .. But they look good

I'm looking into CO's currently (looks + handling, CO = CoilOvers), but CO's seem to have quite a bit of probs...May just go with Eibachs.





(only because Irish gives them props)

 

Yeah same here, CO's seem to be a lot less reliable and high maintenance. I would hate to send them out every year for a rebuild. Although the slammed look is lovely.

Something else you can try is shortened Koni's up front to allow more travel for your S-Techs, but that's more work than just bolting up. Keep me updated, I'd like to know what your final decision is, as I too am looking for a suspension upgrade.

 

wow not a dirty spot on it!

 

lmfao..... I can just imagine one struggling to get through the snow and just give up and park on their lawn..... lol

 

love the color! looks mint

 

New wheels, ya it's dirty now, but jsut so you cans ee the TW's.

 

NICE!

 

are they staggered? what made you decide to get 18s?

 

I have other 18's too (MMEV5's), but wanted a lighter set. They're not staggered. They're rears all around (8.5's) with 15mm spacers in the rear and 5mm up front. Very good stance, not staggered, (even though the spacers are), and it looks very flush all around). I've had these wheels forever, just hadn't switched tires (from EV5's to these).

I got a flat on my other wheels (Traklites 2.0) and 2 were bald, and 1 got a flat, so essentially I only had one good tire. So, I'm looking into getting some winter tires (See Tire wheel AS thread, Conti's Extreme). So, these went on in the meantime, since I've never had 'em on before.

That's kinda the story behind the story as to why these went on.

 

Looks really nice...post up some more pics with them on.

 

I need to wash it first.

 

Biter!

 

Any rubbing in the rear when going over large bumps/potholes? What is your suspension setup now?

 

Progress reear springs, S-Techs up front, Illuminas all around.

I only get rubbing over large bumps, and on the passenger side, and it's only because I need to recenter my rear beam.

But mine sit more flush than yours, BUT I had to because you copied me with your PLXR300.

 

Very shiny. I wish I could wash my car.

 

awesome look(s) haha i'm lovin the color

 

 

Man those NM plates are somewhat obnoxious. Did you use a bluebat vinyl on the tails? Looks good all around

 

Your car is a fine example of how the 5.5 gen should have come from the factory.

 

How many separate sets of wheels have you had on this car?

They all look great, besides the black ones....

 

WV2 + TEs = sex. Pure, orgasmic "Kama Sutra" type sex.

Nmex, you sprayed model paint into the signal portion, right?

 

Ya, I'm not much of a fan either, but I couldn't find anything lightweight that was affordable at the time.

Let's see... MMEV's/Traklites/Z33tracks/stocks. I still have them all too, I need to sell the MMEV's to an unsuspecting victim and the black ones and purchase some cooler ones(LW) now that I can afford it.

Thanks!

You sir, are correct.

Now that i think about it, I shoulda gone with 225-50's, fill the well out a touch more. But ya...


NM plates suck, I want to get one like the Gen coupe from NMSTateU, looks a touch better.
