Nice Glenn, that would be great if you could. I remember seeing it at the tuning day and just then realizing that they're definitely smaller than a stock wheel. The Momo in the orange car is 350mm so I wouldn't have an issue with putting a 350mm into the green one. Thanks!

I'm trying to hold-off but don't know how long I can last... I was planning to throw my money at machine work and AN fittings, but man is this enticing. Hopefully the supply is still there when I'm ready.

I'm curious about the same dimensions: dish and outer diameter. Really considering blowing some money on this wheel... EDIT: is the rim material vinyl or leather?

Damn-damn-damn, that's a pretty good deal! Really wish you hadn't posted that.

Cool video, I like the owner's attitude. The 240 looked like a handful out there! I think he had plenty of brake, just not enough traction.

Gotcha, I misread your reply.

Why not just call them up and talk to John? You can even PM him since he's a member here.

Dang, I must have just missed you guys since I took a trip to SLO and back to SF on Saturday. Looks like a good time.

Check out the pics on the Betamotorsports site.

Looking forward to it!

They're very simple to work on, but definitely not a good car to have for the mechanically dis-interested.

Talk to John Coffey: Beta Motorsports, LLC Products Don't know if ST did a 7/8" one though.

Good job! You never know, maybe it'll help the next guy. It's always nice to hear the solution, even if it's from a silly mistake. Besides, the worst that can happen is that we taunt you a wee little bit.

E31, E88, N42, P90 have square exhaust ports. N47, P79 have round exhaust ports (liners). Thus, exhaust manifolds interchange between the N47 and P79, but not the rest. Again, buy an N47 head. It's the cheapest and easiest route.

I agree with Chas, an N47 shouldn't be too hard to find and will be cheap. The P79 will drop compression too much, but is otherwise interchangeable.

I've seen your car Bryan, it's in great shape! I'd have a very difficult time cutting into such nice fenders.

Nice work on the Z, and a nice wagon to boot!

Some good advice has been presented already but to add a few points: - WOT during cranking should enable "flood clear" mode, not allowing the injectors to open, thus no fuel being sucked into the cylinders - I've never used a crows foot wrench for valve adjustment. Plain open-end wrenches work just fine.

I feel lucky that I've seen one with my own eyes!

Coolant output, correct? The input was in your above photos, unless you mean input into the radiator.

That's interesting to know about the custom offsets. I got the wheels second-hand. The PO removed them from his car which he got from a lady that had gotten the wheels 10 years prior, or so. I think the wheels date back to about 2001, or maybe 2003. I'm not quite sure. To your issue, a shorter tire would put it further from the fender vertically, but I don't imagine there would be much of a horizontal change. I think if you rub now, you'll rub with the 45-series 225s. It'll just take a slightly bigger bump to do so. I was planning on getting RS-3s for my next set of tires, but now I'm feeling a bit cautious. Gotta go measure clearances...

Nice photos Phil. Something like that will definitely distribute coolant flow better than a single or dual exit.

I agree Jeff, I think it's a combo of a slight positive offset (maybe +6mm?) and slightly narrower tires (although both are spec'd 225mm). I'll have to take a wheel off and check the offset sometime.

Thanks! I was thinking of picking these guys up, but I need to measure my air horns first and call Pierce to ensure fitment: Weber DCOE Air Filter<br><font color="red">99427.312G</font>

My 16X7 Panasports (not exactly sure on offset) with 225/50-16 fit without any rubbing. However, tires listed as the same size can differ quite a bit between manufacturers, so it helps to know what tire is being used. Jeff's Hankooks look pretty wide for 225s. I believe the S-Drives are wide for their size too. Mine have 10-year-old rubber on them that will soon get replaced.
