I am getting 245/45-16 Hankook Z212's mounted to 16x8.5 +27 Kosei K-1's this coming Saturday and will have pictures of that and various other things after I get them back.
Hopefully I'll have some time between now and then to organize the pictures and post some of them along with a short update.
Thanks for spurring me on...my thread has all but died on all the forums I visit regularly (and some that I don't).
Off-topic:
Just curious but was the first picture taken around Tryon Road and South Blvd, those factories and fences look familiar. i used to own a 4 door M3 back in 2004-2005 and worked off of Griffith Street and Tryon in the ghetto. I also live around Charlotte and have owned a few sr20 powered vehicles. I would love to see your 240sx and M3 in person as I am a big fan of both your cars.
I wonder if we have met before, i was pretty big into the DTM and Bimmerforums back in the day, went to a few sr20 and Bimmer meets in Charlotte and in the Mtns.

Are you talking about this one:
?
If yes, it was taken at my parents' shop which is near the Freedom Drive corridor and downtown. And yeah, it's pretty much teh ghetto. Not exactly the best place for a crazy crackuh like me to be working on cars.

The next month or so is going to be nuts for me between being out of town, work, and moving into another house. I may try to make a May CCR event, but no promises. Feel free to PM me sometime.

I suppose it's possible, but unlikely. I've never been the a Bimmer meet other than the club dinners at the Waldhorn whenever my schedule allows.
I finally ordered the tires a few weeks ago and had them mounted this past weekend. Here are some pictures of them on the car:
Wheels are Kosei K-1’s, 16x8.5 +27 and the tires are Hankook Ventus RS-2 Z212’s, 245/45-16.
I had concerns about fitment and actually tested the same wheel/tire combo from a friend’s car. He has 225’s up front and 245’s in the rear, and I made a point of using the rear on both the front and back of my car, and found that although tight, I had enough clearance between the strut (KYB AGX) and tire.
I took the car out after mounting them and vigorously “slalomed” on a back road to see if I got any rubbing. No sound or other indication of rubbing as yet, probably because my car has the ride height of Bigfoot at this point.
Sorry for it being so long between updates. I should have some more pictures of the IACV cleaning and other small things in the very near future.
Not only photos but videos of the car in action! lets here that beast roar!
Ha, I have one of it shortly after it was running, some from an autocross in November, and some on the dyno in December, but none since. I need to have someone tape a few "fly-by's," but haven't had the time lately. I should have some video from VIR mid-to-late June.

I'm glad to know you've enjoyed it. Car looks good...shows cars aren't for me necessarily, but I like what you've put together.
Is the car on a ship or something? I was wondering why it (and the construction equipment in front of it) was bolted down to the floor...
I like it, meng. What is the object at the firewall behind the passenger strut tower. A gauge of some sort? Fuel pressure, maybe? What FPR are you running? I ask because I installed an AEM one a few days ago, and love it.
what do you have your fuel pressure set at WITH the vac line on?
I was unsure about where to set it, so I consulted FreshAlloy and found that it should be:
36 psi WITH vacuum line attached
43 psi W/O vacuum line attached
The FSM confirms this, but I need to look to figure out what page I found it on.
I am running a *mostly* stock setup right now and will probably not touch the fuel pressure unless the dyno visit Thursday tells me I need to.
