Tanner; I like those track wheels man, I just wish they were lighter in weight. I think they are about 25lbs tires included, right? In any case good looking.

Team Dynamics 15x7 are 13.2lb. That's pretty light...

Of course tires are going to add weight.

[Tanner]

yeah they aren't too bad. Word around town is that their actual weight is a tad higher than the 13.2 they claim.

I also got the 15 offset instead of the normal 25. So im sure that tacked on a few extra grams.

tried removing my steering column bolts last night to drop it down a bit. wow, what a headache, tried using a cold chisel and a hammer. no luck. doesn't seem like enough room in there for a dremel or anything else.

Yea they are very light, I am not sure that I would want lighter wheels on a car driven on the street, I feel like anything less than 13 pounds and your going to start compromising structural integrity

Should have specified, that I was referring to the 17x9s.

LTW d-force is around the same

Two of my friends just did this. One used a chisel, and the other an air chisel hammer thing.

Come up with 3 advantages to running poly motor or trans mounts on a street car. I'll wait.

racecar haha but i would not really want to run polly mounts, just something better than the stock rubber. mine always separate (dang oil and heat). wanna run rubber with a bolt straight through, by looking for companies that sell it and people with reviews. i dont want the car to vibrate, i just wants mounts that will last.

everyone just runs OEM?

**would a "harder" rubber still have the vibrating issues like the soft polly mounts? figure a hard rubber is still softer than soft polly, but better than the soft stock rubber

HMM maybe i can just run steel plates on the top and bottom of the stock rubber to protect it and the steel would add just enough strength and firmness?

[Tanner]

I'm full of questions today.

If I walked into a Pep Boys or Autozone today for manual transmission fluid, what do you guys recommend? My past cars I've used OEM fluid.

I've read up on people using the below specs, but I don't think I've seen any of these at the store.

Green Label: MT-90 (75W90 GL-4)

Red Label: D4 ATF

No Label: MTL (70W80 GL-4)
