Those are some good pics . By the way, any idea if you can fit a 255 width tire on an 18x8.5in rim without rubbing issues?

No man, Pm me if you want some details. Basically, the guy I dealt with sympathized with me a little bit for all my issues and shot me the best offer I've seen on a Fidanza 3.2. I wasn't going with another ACT and this was the cheapest route. I can't afford an twin. It did not come with the flywheel. I already just had a brand new one installed and I'm assuming it's 100% considering the car had hardly been driven at all. My current clutch could be 100% fine, who knows. If it's cool, I'll sell it. If it's F'd, then I'll see what ACT will do for me.

if you do end up having the fidanza installed, i would be curious to see how that is for you.

not that i think it would be bad, fidanza makes good stuff, i've just never known anyone with one of their clutches in an evo, and am interested in how it drives and feels.

i am pretty certain i will need a new clutch relatively soon, so i am starting to think about it.

Depends...usually carbonated, but dark beer carbonate a bit differently the foam tends to build up on the top rather than through the beer...when you make home brew you carbonate naturally..which means rather than adding CO2 by tank..you add sugar water to the beer once it is done fermenting....since there is still active yeast in the beer, the yeast consumers the sugar which in turn produces CO2. So also , the amount of carbonation can be controlled by the amount of sugar added before bottling

hey guys, i was a bit bored yesterday so i went to the zoo to play with the camera.

most of these shots are nothing too interesting. i was trying to play with the manual settings on my camera, but couldn't really figure it out. that is why there are about half a dozen pictures of waterfalls. haha.

i was trying to go with a long shutter exsposure to get almost a time lapse type of look to the pictures. it worked ok.

what i was really impressed with was the close ups of some of the flowers. for being a point and shoot, it gets some very good detail shots if i have the right lighting.

Do you guys see any adverse affects to running a 17X9" wheel with a 255/40/17 tire? I'm just concerned about the "40" and that it isn't "45". Obiously, the car would be a bit lower, the sidewall would be a bit less (better response/less flex), probably makes it a bit lighter too. The main concern I have is that the speedometer would be off and that the wheel gap would increase.

What do you guys think? Would you recommend this size for better traction/handling? Thanks.
