Re: Greetings IMOC!!

Thanks guys! :D Just had the stock exhaust put back yesterday. It feels like a different car in a couple of ways... the sound, the power, the boost, and the look! I like dual tips much better than the common single sided Havne't got a nice shot done yet. Will post more when 1. weather gets good 2. a...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Tire for the 15x7 Rev2+ rims

Thanks for your advice guys! There are! Yes! There are good 225/50R15s available somewhere in the world, ie: The Obama nation! There are T1R, R1R, RS-3, and more R-compound sticky rubbers. I was planning to ask my American friends to arrange shipping for me, but I found this pair of leftovers in sto...

Re: Anyone use 195/50/16 front tyres??

I chose 195-55 instead of 195-50 because the Falken ZE912 has 420 treadwear on the 50, and 360 on the 55.

May I ask, where is the speedometer sensor located? front or rear wheels?

So although likely it'll be CT26, only way to find out for sure is to ask.


Thanks! This one is definitely not gonna be expensive.

Found a 93 GT, auction closes tomorrow, USS Nagoya

FYI... this 93 GT is being auctioned tomorrow (12/3), which means the auction is closing in around 14 hours from now in Nagoya. R-rated, seems like it needs a paint job. 153k kms (around 96k miles). The thing I don't know is, is this the CT26 or CT20 engine. score sheet: 1.ajes.com/imgs/rCzgvokLj7VY...

[Mk2] [Generic] Tire for the 15x7 Rev2+ rims

I had big trouble finding new tires to replace the winter tires that came with the car from Hokkiado! I totally understand the size 225/50R15 is not a common one. Even the tire distributors won't accept special orders. I could only find some Falken ZE912, which was 2009 stock. The front 195/55R15 ar...

Yeah, you need a minimum of 15 posts before posting pics or links, it was a fix implemented to stop spammers signing up and posting rubbish and/or porn.

Thanks for explaining! so that works like a turbo... need to build up the pressure before it gets kicked in

Greetings IMOC!!

Nice to meet you all! Owning an SW20 has been my dream since my college days, when I was too poor and a bit young. Finally I got mine when my 92 GT-S reached its 20th birthday in July this year, to be qualified as a "classic car" by definition, and exempt from emissions and noise tests bef...

Re: Hi all newbie to IMOC :) near pontefract

Hello dear James! I like your front corner lights... with a white corner and amber signals, are they UK domestics? As I remember US and Japan versions are all amber. I have white lenses that came with my JDM 92 GT-S and I'm on the way to convert it back to vintage.
