I would recommend toyo R1R's if you can get them in your size, I had them on my s15 and they were pretty amazing in the dry and the wet

Re: Carburetor issues?

who machined your head jason? I am guessing whoever machined your head used too much rake, which has caused a high spot in the middle of your head. It is a very common practice in machining shops >_<

I could help you out with some of it as I just wired and tuned a motec into my car. Depending on what parts you are using though. ie, injectors (standard or aftermarket), which coil and sensors.

Re: Peter Wherrett/Sigma turbo wheels touching strut

that sounds very strange to me, my turbo wheels fit fine on my old gj :S is it hitting on both sides? lowering it and changing shocks shouldn't make any difference as it wouldn't change the offset or camber angle at the stub axle. are they standard spring landings? or does it have adjustable coilovers
