If it's an si then the b16 is a swap.

 

Yes

 

Looked like a great time @ Thunderhill..wish I could go there :sigh:

How many people were running with you in your session?

Oh and IMO your car begs for 15x7-7.5 w/ 225 45 new RS 3's or 225 RSS C51 series R compounds

 

okai in a week or so im going to be getting new wheels and tires , most likely 15's i was wondering what size tire i should get, what would be best all around..??

 

Depends on what you're going for.

If you want a meaty sidewall and an accurate speedometer -- 195/55
If you want a wider tread patch and an almost accurate speedometer - 205/50
If you want it to be a little lower and have less sidewall -- 195/50

 

thanks i think ima go with the 205

 

ive always used 205/50's for a 15" wheel

i think if i ever go with another 15 though i want a 225/45

 

about 25-30 other cars on the track at the same time. it was my first time driving in the high intermediate group.. those guys are fast! also, i wasn't planning to use Azenis tires, but it's all I had. i usually use R1R's, but there was a flat spot, from a spinout, on one of the tires which was starting to show cord, so i couldn't use those. Azenis was all I had left, so I decided to give them a try. Definitely do not have the grip of the R1R's, and the car was sliding all over the place after a couple laps..

how are the new rs3's? i was looking into the kumho ecsta xs tires. grassroots gave that tire a really good review.

 

When I talked to the guy, he sounded like he didn't know much about the car. If/When I go check it out today I'm gonna make sure that the VIN on the motor matches the car. If they don't match, then its a swap.

 

no need to match vins.

jhmeg2 = b16 stock (vtec)
jhmeh6 = d16 stock (si)

 

its a vtec, look at the cluster, it looks like redline is 8200

 

Yes, there are kits available for an EG so I would think it is possible for a del sol.

 

I counted it like 10 times.... looks like redline is 7200.. anyone correct me if I'm wrong?

 

x2 on 7200

 

I counted it a couple times and it looks like 8200 to me.

 

+3 on that

 

Just ordered these..cant wait to get them on my gun metal dr-20's




ill have pics up in a week

 

So 7200 redline is not available on the VTEC del sol?

 

If it is a vtec del sol, I would buy It.
I got my del sol s for 3,000

 

7200 redline is the si model with d16z6
8200 redline is the vtec model with b16a3/2

 

well the VTEC model comes with a B16 which has a higher redline...8200 and goes all the way to 9500

the 7200 (that goes to 8500) is for the single cams that come in the S or Si model

I have a tach that redlines at 6800 that might be from an auto or something?

 

195/50 is closer to stock tire size than 195/55.

(diameters are rounded to nearest tenth, that explains the identical diameters but different circumferences)

Stock Tire
185/60/14
Diameter: 22.7"
Circumference: 71.4"


195/50/15
Diameter: 22.7"
Circumference: 71.2"


195/55/15
Diameter: 23.4"
Circumference: 73.7"

 

only the z6/si redlines at 7200

6800 is the del sol s with d15

 

Damn.. So I pretty much saved myself from buying a del sol swapped B16..

 

tough to tell from the picture upon second glance.

only true way to tell will be the VIN
