Ok, I've been searching and searching. Looked on rimtuck and am stuck between two tire sizes.

Heres what I'm looking at:

RUCA
Fortune Auto Coils
17x9+15 all around
S13 Hatch

No fender mods yet, but plan to roll front and rear as needed. Don't plan to slam rediculous low, but obviously want no fender gap (tuck tiny bit of tire)

I see alot of people run something close to 215/40r17, but can i get away with a 225/40r17 all the way around or even a 225/45? The wheel size and tire threads have much more aggressive fitment than what sizes I have, so I thought I might ask here first..

This is my first time working with an SR

A headgasket blew a while back and had a water/oil mix issue. Got a new headgasket, got the heads rebuilt and resurfaced, bolted down w/arp head studs. I still have a water/oil mix issue. Now to the question:

Is this happening because I didn't resurface the block since its also aluminum?
Or is this a result of a cracked water jacket? I'm thinking of just getting another block.

i was thinking of gravity bleeding, the only reason i ask now is cause i have 1L of nice brake fluid and 2L of valvoline off the shelf fluid, so if 1L is not enough i'll wait till next year to buy more

Gravity bleed will work without a dou bt, just remember to keep the bleeder hose submerged in the larger can when you do it.

With that said, be sure that if you are going to run a different fluid that you have some and or it's easily accesible in the event you need to top it off. Also make sure it can 'play well' with other fluids.

S14K in japan was only s14 IIRC to have larger calipers.

will a ka24de exhaust manifold bolt onto a ka24e?

Yeah I'm going to buy extra soon as winter passes, i keep stock in my garage anyways. thank you for the tip, i didn't know it needed to be submerged, haha.

Ok... I have searched but can't find the answer I'm looking for, I've asked friends but I'm hearing different things... (Can I run 15mm bolt on spacers with battles?). I have heard I'm gonna have to cut my studs I've heard they fit fine... Someone even told me to run a 5mm slip on between the hub and 15mm bolt on to avoid cutting studs? I'm all assed up now and don't know what to do-spacers will be here Monday any advice?

[Wake]

no offense dude but thats a perfect screen name.

Battles + 15mm slip on + stock studs = your golden.

What is this stud cutting nonsense?
How would that EVER be beneficial?

225/40/17 are hard to come by if you're on a budget. Just run 215/40/17 all around or 215/40/17 front and 215/45/17 back.

there not slip ons bud-I forgot about the all the douch fuck Internet tough guys on this forum who sit In front their computer screen all day waiting to get stupid with someone when half of you shit dicks have probably NEVER got in someone's (face) with an opinion, now I'm not offended just pointing that out "no offense" let me clarify my situation. The adapters I ordered are bolt on... They bolt onto my hub and the wheels bolt onto the adapter, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about-my question is... Will my studs be longer than the adapter? If so that will restrict the wheel from sitting flush with it, leaving me in a situation where I would cut them correct? I have looked at the battles and there are no slots for this, like I have seen on other wheels. If this is the case is there a simple NON SARCASTIC solution? Now fire away

[oOI WEST IOo]

I'm having a problem at lower rpm's getting much power, the car jerks and stutters some times. it almost sounds like its misfiring. if anyone has any advice that would be great

[shiftin_sideways]

Can someone post a picture of what the A/T pilot bearing looks like for a ka? I'm doing a five speed swap and want to know what to remove to install the manual pilot bearing.

i know what you kinda mean, i had something similar happen to me a while back, i changed the plugs/wires and the car ran perfect after, you could check your plugs if you haven't already, my best guess , but then again it could be something else.

[wanabedrftr]

Anyone name this front bumper or kit?

wow dude read your own sig......
Sorry for calling you retarded when you labeled yourself that with a screen name. In no way, shape, or form, did I act tough or call you out.

To answer your stupid ass question, NO
Looks like theres 2 sets if holes, the studs in the spacers should fit into the second set of holes.
Have fun with the rest of your stay on the internet.

To add, some wheels have actual slots on the back of the disk for studs to fit into if you have spacers

[wetawded87]

Your a fucking idiot... That's two different lug patterns. Someone clearly don't work on their own shit..... And the battles don't have the slots : / that's why I'm having this problem to begin with.

You're a fucking moron. The second set of holes isn't a different lug pattern. They're there for "weight savings" or whatever the fuck. They aren't tapered, so clearly not meant for lug nuts. People run fucking spacers on battles all the time, and seem to not have to cut lug studs or whatever. That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

Edit: If you're gonna cry that "Zilvia is full of internet douche bag tough guys" get the fuck out and go use Google or NICO.

[Lukasss]

Its not the dumbest thing IVE ever heard.
I have battles and PSM 15mm bolt on spacers.
When the wheel goes on the OEM studs are too long and hit the back of the battle and causes it to not bold down correctly.
You can physically see the stud hitting the back of the wheel through the "weight savings" holes.

Dont be stupid and cut your studs...
What i did was put the slip on 5mm on, then bolted down the 15 on top of it. Which made less of the stud stick out, letting the wheel go on correctly.

[wetawded87]

Thank you lukass-this is all I wanted to know man, someone told me to do that with the 5mm but it sounded a little sketchy... I'll give it a shot and go back to lurking now since ppl here can't share correct info without being bitches.

[Lukasss]

You're welcome.

I don't have any problems with the 15mm on top of the 5mm.
Both are Parts Shop Max spacers.

No vibrations in excess of 90mph. But I cannot speak for any other spacer.
Good luck.

instead of being ghetto why don't you just buy 20mm spacers?
now THAT is the stupidest shit i've read

Don't be so quick to bash dude, he said he's got powered by max spacers. For those who don't know about those spacers they come in 2 pieces. You can either remove the 5mm, or leave it on.

Anyone have pics or rock yellow bulbs in the high beams of their s14? I want to see some pics.

[lilbnort93]

hey okay, should my distributer be centered or should the timing be more advanced or retarded? mine was full retard for as long as ive swapped this engine in but what makes more power on a stock ka? and not make it detonate or anything else bad happen?
