I think it looks good with the 15mm's.
I have been thinking about this as well.
I was going to go a little at a time and see what I like the best.

 

I brought home a full load of kids from school yesterday. I decided to check the clearance.I am glad now that I did not go with 20mm spacers, I would have rubbed. Check out how close they are at full load.

 

WOW!!!! LOL
I am going to go either 10 or 15MM on mine.

You should see my inner liners after running the racing slicks!! They were 225/45/17's
Did not think it was going to be that bad. But it is not really bad though.

 

Look what I picked up today for $150.

 

93 or early 94?

 

Am I smelling a manual swap?

 

Ok I am a little lost...you bought a whole car for $150 or did you forget to put an extra 0 at the end.

If you bought it for $150 I think I am goign to cry

 

Start crying.

One Hundred and fifty dollars.

Its an 93 Auto N/A

 

Manual?
N/A cams?
Plans?

 

Is the car running and driving...There is a guy local selling a 94 Turbo for $1500 and it wont even drive necause it has a burnt exhaust valve. How did you get it so cheap? Even the darn N/A with blown head gaskets they want $1,000. You guy's have some cheap cars in your part of the world.

 

The guy blew a head gasket, bought a new head, pulled the old off, put the new on and did not know how to put it back together. Then he got a job back east so the car got left in CA. The parents just wanted it gone, I helped them. Its almost back together. Overall good car but I dont know if there are other problems until I get it running.
It will either be flipped for cash or a daily driver for my teenager or mom.

 

Added a new intake pipe, (a.k.a. Sconeman pipe) but from parts bought on ebay. Costs around $40 to do it yourself.

 

Looks good! I am working on making one myself.

 

I have replaced mine twice just from normal rubbing. It shoots holes in it really fast.

 

Yep it will do that.

 

hey boxpin? can you post the parts you got to make your intake? I want to do that as well. How do you make the provision for mounting the PTC?

 

I am really sorry, I bought the parts awhile ago and they sat in the garage. They have since cleared from ebay so I dont have any numbers for you. Here is what they are though. Just search ebay for the items

1. 3" aluminum J pipe
2. 3" 90 deg silicone hose
3. 76mm to 60mm silicone reducer hose.
4. 3 -3" band clamps

I cut the PTC out as close to the j pipe bend as possible, do your best to find a j pipe with a sharp bend, not a long drawn out bend. It was cut out with a body saw. I used a caliper to measure the inside of the seal then marked on the tube in the same position as the OEM. Then scribed and cut away.

Both ends of the J pipe had to be shortened

The band clamps are for the 3" sections of the pipe, I used the OEM for the turbo.

 

Oh well, the inevitable has come. DMV registration renewal showed up in the mail...SMOG CHECK REQUIRED.

I took it by a smog shop and asked what I needed to put back to stock. Crud, everything but the turbo....sigh.

 

Ha, I found another way and thats all I am going to say.

 

One last trip to the raceway next week. Picking up Methanol this afternoon. Ordered an 11lbs Garret wastegate actuator to help hold the boost at 18. Shooting for a 13.5 quarter.
