- Thu Dec 26, 2013 4:14 am #340543 I just ordered some new tires from discount tire and will get em installed tomorrow. Got some fallen 912 205/50's. I got tons of clearance in the front fender.. Lol I loved them on the 15's. Image

I was going to try 225/50/R16's in the front but that maybe cutting it too close.
Lol

- Thu Dec 26, 2013 5:05 am #340554 h series built motors are just as expensive if not more. never personally built a f though. but i would think they would be fairly expensive as well.

- Thu Dec 26, 2013 1:58 pm #340562 I was just looking at the price of the motor itself. Complete motor/tranny/ecu runs from $1500_$2000 for blue top h22a. I would love a b18c or c5 bit all the ones I seen was $3-5k

Just picked up 2 new Falken 612 205/50's for the front at Discount Tire. They even filled up all the tires with Nitrogen. Gotta love em. The 2 new front tires fixed the off-centered steering wheel issue, got rid of the gap, less road noise, and car rides 10x smoother/quieter. I am keeping the new Toyo 205/45's in the rear until they wear down and will go with some 205/50s.

Waiting on some led bulbs before the new tails go in. And damn, forgot to take pics of the pedals install. Next time.. lol

I honestly think the 205/50/R16 tires fit an eg sedan perfectly. Not too small and not too big. I am thinking of 225/50's for the front next time. We'll see.
