I've had 2 accidents doing that. One when I was a new driver, one around 2 years ago. I tend to be a little more patient these days when merging.

+20 is pretty aggressive! haha, seems like +25 or +30 is the optimal offset?

depends on what. I had a set of 15x7 +32 205 tire and it rubbed slightly in the back. But then again EF's have shitty *** clearance in the rear quarters

Im running 15x7 +35 with 205/50. OEM bodywork, no fender rolling or pulling. Has some signs of tire cutting on the very outside edge, but once I give it a more aggressive alignment, it wont hit anymore. The fronts rub pretty good though, but again hardly any camber and no fenders rolled yet.

Actually rob. is right - next to the plug is a fuel return line that has overspray on it



Hey guys long time no talk. Gonna have my 91 Tahitian Green Si Hatchie up for sale soon. Picking it up next week Sat. Anyone interested?

IIRC, 175-180f when it was +90F outside

synthetic wouldn't lower temps much, but doesn't break down at high temps like regular does

you can go way hotter with synthetic

No temp readings, but pressures are 20-25 idle and 75-80 WOT. Watch your pressures in the turns as well. Catch cans and 20/50 oil can assist if you already have a baffled pan.

No idea on my temps, but 250 is dangerously hot dude. I get nervous in my truck when towing up grades and my oil temp hits 230.
