I've also been debating just going with new hubcentric ones from touge factory after speaking with them a few times and picking up a rear set and be done with it. You bought from them rite?
Yeah, I recommend you go with them too. Mike will hook you up!

I was gonna try to do this this morning but ran out of time. I'm gonna do it tomorrow if its not too cold.

Also, my rad showed up yesterday. Gotta love next day arrival, although it did only have to travel about 40 miles.

Need some help on this one guys.

The other day, when I complained about the spark plugs going bad, well I changed it and still getting sputters...around 3k to 4k rpm, sounds like brrrrrrrrr... I noticed my boost gauge was working during the test drive after installing the plugs, so quiclkly thought it was a vacuum leak. Well, fixed that and still the same problem. Any ideas?

we have several inches right now. i habent been able/had time to source snow tires yet so im screwed. nobody is open tomorrow and the places ive already called dont have anything in stock. tire rack has ws60 blizzaks but they are like minivan snow tires. i will hate them as much as the ws50 that were on the evo. but maybe i shoudl just gt the most hardcore tires possible to compensate for it being rwd and lightweight

either way i cant get them installed until mid week. fml.

Yes and hello.

Chu, the MAF sensor could be the problem (one more reason to go with speed density) and I'd also recommend a compression test if you can. It would be the suckz if you had a blown ring, but that rough sound is consistant with a lot of different things. Are the wires and coils good?

Thanks Josh. I'm going to check the MAF first. Hopefully, its not a piston ring; that's a lot of work. I'll plug my stock coils and wires back to to see if the COP I have now are causing the problem also.
