Pete needs some 18x9.5s! Glad to hear you sold them. I have my options open for 10 inch wide if I could!

I'm not lowering my car, so 18's are out for me. Wouldn't 10" require mad fender work?

I saw how effective you were at removing and installing that wheel in the parking lot. I'm not so sure Chu is going to come to the rescue everytime you want to do a wheel swap.
I'm off until Monday. Getting ready, regretfully, to go start the clutch swap now. It's frieking COLD in my garage and the heater I have puts out enough carbon monoxide to kill a horse within hours. John, take off work and come help. I'm doing your clutch next this weekend and you owe me for something I'm sure.

LOL

The other thing that pisses me off, this guy that ran the team there swore up and down that they have a special computer costs thousands of dollars and you can't just do it yourself. Either he is enormously inept and didn't understand what I was talking about or he is just one super huge a-hole and likes to f' people for the hell of it. Rant over sorry.
that is the most ridiculous thing i've heard. what dealership are you going to?

if you need a dealership for stuff, try fred beans in doylestown. they've been pretty honest with me so far. ask for marc linder next time.

not to toot my own horn but i didn't read the manual on this either. i just messed around with holding the button down and eventually figured it out. you could always hit us up with issues before talking to the dealership.

I'm all about helping out even to the point of practically forcing it down people throats. Ask Dan how many times I told him I'd install his UICP. I'd be willing to lend a hand as long as it's not near the baby removal day at the end of February.

UICP pipe install is one thing but a clutch. hmmm i got to keep you in mind now...

the guy i know in reading to does stuff for a pretty low price told me that clutch installs on the X is flat 800 bucks. he said it with a bit of frustration so i am guessing there is something annoying with the X tranny.

The 8 & 9 trans is no walk in the park so I can only imagine what the X must be like.

You ain't kidding about that one. There's just way too many things to remove.

Why would 18s be out of the pic if you're not going to lower the car. Fitment would actually be easier.

If anyone knows someone looking for a super clean IX RS, send them my way.
Wow, i am very sorry to hear that. Your IX is the perfect evo for me. A white IX RS is my absolute favorite. I hate to jump on the part out deal to but let us kno first i'm sure we could all help you come up with some money
Good luck with everything!

18's look like complete crap if the car isn't lowered... IMO. I'm not even sure I would like the way 17 x 9.5 would look.
