did u do all the mods urself or did it came with the car?

yeah i did most of it myself, the only things that were on the car when i got it were the turbo timer and the cat-back. everything else is by me.

tires are the same size in front, 235, and the rears are 275s which are wider...

Also, how much boost are you running?

18 psi, volk doesn't really offer much for choice for widths with the 19" +22 offset for the TE37. you can only get 9.5 in the rear.....and, i didn't choose the widths.. i bought them off of someone for a good price.

what for? i have zero issues running 18 psi... no knock, no pulled timing, nothing i know a guy who was running 20psi on pump gas with just an octane booster.. again zero issues.. there are people out there that run over 20 psi on pump gas... why would 18psi need race gas?.. but thanks for the compliments...


the wheels are for sale by the way, i'm going to go a different route, message me if interested.

If you were running an unmodified oem ecu, your OBD knock logs would show differently. So would before and after compression results. Its possible your g-Force ecu has a non-oem timing curve, which could allow you to run 18psi safely with 93 octane pump gas. Keep in mind not everyone has a gForce ecu, so running 18psi on pump gas is generally bad advice. Either way, best of luck.
