my opinion but hey if you like em...and I don't think either are that "light" in weight

NT03+m are going to be lighter I'm sure without even checking weight

I beg to differ as you saw my car with a 8 block converted to a 9 block and it has a 9 head on it. All running and working well, they are the same all except the mivec line is bored out on the 9 block.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...k-ix-head.html

As you have seen my car runs very much. Just now need to redo the mivic line because its leaking from me breaking the banjo bolt and what, So I am making my own I am sure.

I know sounds odd but it really works and many( well more like a few have done it) I know even Buschur said it could not be done but it can be done very easy. So those that blow a 9 motor buy a built 8 and go for it will my directions, if you need the tap I got it already for ya.

Neither are that bad (I admit I've never heard of xxr but who knows). But I imagine they are probably fairly heavy/expensive.

Unless I had lots of money to throw into my car, I would NEVER buy wheels for looks. 1500 could be spent on soooo many other things, even things that made the car look better rather than faster. If you don't like the look of your current wheels, consider getting them powder coated, if you deal hunt long enough you should be able to get it done for under 400 no problem. Back when I was searching I'd found a place that did them for 200, Josh (jbeck) had his wheels done there.

Does anyone know if you only choose 6 characters (instead of the full 7) for a plate... Do they center the characters, or is there just a big blank space at the end? Anyone seen any Utah plates with fewer than 7 characters (and without spaces anywhere but the end... the new laws say no spaces are allowed).

I'm pretty sure I've seen one with only 6 and it was centered but I may be mistaking...

I blew the original motor about 6 months ago stock 9 block. Hence the new 8 block i am running now the Fully built 2.3L, Dont know why the old block went but I broke a rod and such, I think I pushed it too hard one night racing with way to much boost and speed and all that. Found a built block for great price and got it then did the conversion.

And to say again I am running a 8 block with a 9 head just drilled the block for the mivec, same motor everyone saw at the meet a while ago and what.
