Yeah, I heard about all of that going on with those. But to be honest, if I had the money to buy one of those, I don't think that any of the added costs would matter. I also read somewhere that even changing out the wheels on a gtr would void the warranty. Pretty lame.

No tripp, not thinking of parting out or selling either of the above mentioned. I think I'll just keep what I have and make it faster.

 

lol I was only kidding. Im hoping to do my big build soon anyways !!!

BTW I got to drive my buddy's VIII back in GA with a FP green and all supporting mods and alky (alky wasn't turned on) and it was fuggin' amazing!!! I really envy you now man .

 

tripp was that you at the summit around 9pm?Wasnt sure if it was you coz the car looks like its lowered.

 

Yea it was me. I didnt see another Evo up there though . Did you see my car at Buffalo Wild Wings or near Guess? My car is lowered too BTW

 

(Yeah, I know you were kidding) Are you thinking of going the same route with a green?
I'm planning on moving back east in a few months and switching to e85 or meth, not sure. Heck, just putting in 93 or 94 octane will be quite a jump.

 

Hey does anyone know if a 225/35/19 is safe to run on 19 x 8.5?

 

I'm really debating between the green and the Buschur HTA 35R. I don't want a really laggy set up and loved the spool of the green and his power levels (405 w/ meth on a dynodynamics) were really good, but he also just blew his motor or something and I don't know what it was yet. His compression on cylinders 3 and 4 were 30 and 0 respectively. I just don't want to get the green and for some reason make the same power as I could with the IX turbo which seems to be happening to some people. Ill be saving a lot of money if I go with the green and that could be money for some coilovers or repainting my bumper/hood. So its a hard choice .

The jump between 91 and 93 is pretty impressive. I went from making 312hp to 292 just because of the octane change. Also the 312 was done on an e-flash, so Im sure there would be more in there with the 93 oct with a full dyno tune.

 

Really depends on how much the tire is getting stretched. The more its stretched the less streetable and with the way the potholes are here if its stretched too much and hit said pothole it could blow the tire. So it'll fit, but it might not be safe. Id try to go with at least a 245.

 

Yea super streched. Found a good deal on the wheels but its comes with the 225. So I dont know now lol.

 

I hear ya. I am also contemplating an hta 35 when I move back, I'll only be a couple hours from buschur. Why don't you buy the hta then I can get a ride in your car and make up my mind?

 

Ill think about it! It all depends on when my money comes in.

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of buschur as my friend (who has a few videos up on their site the BBY Evo VIII) has blown 3-4 of their built 2.0's (stage 3 blocks and head). I don't think hes had anymore problems, but hes running a 42r now. Regardless the green and the HTA 35R seem to be great products!

 

Well take the wheels and order some new tires from tirerack. I just learned they have a distribution center here in Reno/Sparks. Right across/near Summit racing and sometimes give discounts if you pick the tires up there.

 

I saw you pulling out of the parking lot.We were sitting out by the fire place near VANS.But yah looked like you came from the Buffalo Wild Wings.

 

you will be fine doing that. My car right now has a 255 on a 9.5 wide. It will be stretched though. On the Axis that I had before it was a 235 on a 8.5 also.

 

dang how many cars you got now?
