@ 1200 Hobos - what exhaust pipes are you using right now? planning to run at auto slalom this May in here, was wondering if they allow modified exhaust pipes on ST class..

I'm using custom exhaust piping from a muffler shop cat-back to a magnaflow oval, just a crush bent deal. I'll be in ST as long as I use 140 or higher tread wear tires and keep the stock cat in place. Suspension is ok too for ST.

No worries.

I'm using 195/60/14 Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S. 400 UTQG Tread Wear ratings FTW. LOL these tires will probably outlast my car if I granny drive it.

And a completely stock b18a1.

oh i see still stock tire specs, I've always knew that stock tire specs will be fine now I'm convinced.. and about the tread wear rating I'm still confuse about that, is higher tread wear rating grips more or lower treadwear?

like those tips too.. looks very similar to the mugen's but a way cheaper...

Higher tread wear rating just means they're supposed to last long or wear at a slower rate. ST requires 140 or higher so you can't use Hoosiers or R-compounds.

From the pictures I can barely make them out but they look Hex to me. If they are then the right size metric socket should do it. There's also bolts that look like stars, instead of 5 or 6 sides they're many-sided and pointy. You'll need a special tool for those.

There you go, 12 point. LOL, many-sided and pointy... I was close. I was thinking Torx screw drivers...

I can't believe they're a standard size though, really? 5/16ths on a JDM wheel... Interesting.

Seriously, that doesn't many ANY sense at all!

Although if you convert 5/16" to metric it equals 7.9mm. Sounds more likely that they are 12pt 8mm bolts, not 5/16". But I don't have any personal experience w/ the MR5's, so I can't say for sure.

I know that my Volks are 8 mm 12 pt . I don't think that has much significance, but that's all I can offer. Also, I didn't heat or cool them when assembling or disassembling. I just used lots of penetrating oil.

he meant that if you really love oldschool then you'd understand the meaning of the mr5's when regarding to old school and especially DA's

well i didnt get a chance to paint my wheels today because i didnt have the 12 point socket to remove the bolts (or a key to my wheel locks ) But i did get to put on the mud flaps, hood bra, and clean up the lips on the wheels a bit. Heres how it looks now thanks to Tony and the guys at Angkor Collision

I'm gonna rock the 3 piece ones for a while everyone is getting one piece's and I want to stand out for a bit. I have some ideas when I do go with some one piece's though.

Motor is the stock LS.
