all right...got the car running and all fixed up pretty much and is able to drive legally:D but i want to clean up the engine internals by cleaning the intake, fuel injectors, replacing the spark plugs, and wires, and adding a cold air intake...the question is that what kind of wires should i get???MSD 8.5mm, NGK 8mm, OBX 10.3mm, MAGNECOR 8.5mm ???whats your choice and why???
also with rims, i wanna get some over the winter and put them on in the spring, i was thinking of 18"x7.5s or maybe 17"x7, also what size of tire can i go in width (215)???. what offset are the gen 5 ludes and there bolt pattern is 5x100 or 5x114.3???thanks |

I hope your not choosing tires by their tread pattern....

|
|

| i think your going to run into some problems with your offset even unlowered.. |

hahahah ...no im not really...there all pretty much the same, just cant decide on the look.
the 1st one is: Nankang NSI
Treadwear:340
Traction:A
Temperature:A
and the 2nd one is: Nexen N3000
Treadwear:340
Traction:AA
Temperature:A
probablly the 2nd ones....they have more traction. but cost 50 bucks more.
im so ghetto...i dont care what name is it only if they get me around!hah:blue: |

| hah i know what engine oil the engine takes,....5w30 but when i said 10w30.. i meant by putting it into the tranny!!! i know a friend who has a 4th gen lude and he does that and it work fine...but i dont think that it a very good idea for my car haha u know:lol: |

| just run Honda MTF, you can never go wrong with that. |

| Just FYI, all tire manufacturers have their own rating system of tires, so an AA rating could have the same grip level as another tire maufacturer's rating of A. So its actually kind of meaningless to compare ratings across manufacturers like that. |
