Your car is going to look amazing with the PRF1s. I'd love to pick up a set myself but most vendors don't stock the 17X8 RPF1s, let alone the 17X8.5 RPF1s for 05 fitment.

yea i have noticed that too, why is that?

Well, it's a long story, but I made a new (kind of

) wallpaper today. The short story is I got a new monitor that displays 2560x1600 pixels and I didn't feel like redoing that old wallpaper (with the crappy gold wheels) in super high res. So I ended up doing this, which took 5 minutes, but it actually looks really cool

. I'll make a much better wallpaper once the Enkei's finally go on

.

. Thanks!

I can't wait

. The wheels should be here next week and the next track day is in about 2 weeks.

Wallpapers look great!
Keep up the good work

Hey Ben,
Have you ever thought about going with a smaller/lighweight radiator to shed some pounds up front?

**Ben** · 03-27-2006, 04:23 PM

I have not, but that's a great idea! Getting rid of weight in the front is always good

.

I just need to get these things done first, then I'll look in to the radiator:

1) Wheels (finally!)
2) Accusump oil system (to keep the engine from starving through the now 1.5+ G turns)
3) Walbro Fuel Pump

blk rex · 03-28-2006, 12:36 PM

Might want to look into a fuel sump too so you dont hit fuel cut through those turns.

**Ben** · 03-28-2006, 12:40 PM

I am already hitting fuel cut, but only when the tank is around 1/3 or lower. I figured the walbro pump would fix this, but you think I need a fuel sump too eh?

I'll look in to this. Thanks.
