Anyone else have experience with spacers?
the only thing i know about spacers is that you will most likely need extended wheel studs, and depending on the length *possibly* open ended or longer lug nuts, but most likely not. depends on the size of the spacer you end up with.

yeah, i have them and both of you guys were right. if you dont have longer wheel studs your gonna have to re-torque them often. and its a good idea to get longer studs cuz it kinda seems scary without depending on what size spacer your using.

what size are you gonna use?? and ide say go with evo specific ones, it'll save you some time.

Here is the site I was told that makes special adapters to vehicle specific specs. I guess it's kind of like a second hub with a second set of lugs. I'm not too sure how well that would work.

i would not do that. i'd just get some 18's. i run a 2mm spacer in the front with my one set of enkei's cause they don't clear the stoptechBBK. they thread on fine. but a 10mm would also push them out pretty far away.

I do work for a couple and have found them most helpful when I get in a pinch.

PM me if you want the ones I used info.

They got me out of a pretty large ticket recently.

Edit: I see you got your ticket within the city limits. I am somewhat of an expert in getting tickets in the city, having earned a few in the last 18 months.

One bright spot they didn't tow your car. Unlike the rest of the county the city, can and do tow cars for serious offenses.

You might want to send me your phone # and we'll go over what to expect etc etc.

fuel is ignited in the manifold/turbine housing. due to set paremeters thru ecu , usually achieved bye using a 2 step implimenting added fuel followed bye a retarted ignition timing at that point . Allowing the fuel to be ignited very late and essentially doing it burn out of the exhaust valves and expanding its gases thru the manifold into the turbine housing , causing it to spin and in essence spool the turbo.

Obviously followed by extreme noise and fire out the exhaust
