I still haven't put it on yet. I have a pile of suspension parts sitting here waiting for me not to be a pussy or for it to get warmer out so I can go install them. :)

Shop is saying spark blow out not a lifted head since it torched the head and gasket in that area. Piston and bearings look good so there was not a detonation issue.

Hmm, I'd be curious to hear their thinking on that. I've never heard of spark blowout causing a blown head gasket. I think I get some spark blowout occasionally myself. Have to keep a better eye on it now I guess

Just picked up a Pauls High Performance intake spacer kit cheap. Figure I'd try it out for the price. Gonna have to modify my Shaker bracket so it doesn't raise the Shaker though.

Every time I see a turbo it brings a smile to my face :)

Alas, all i've done are wheels. Got these when I was in PA in the fall:

http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-amr-19x10-0513.html

they were on sale/clearance. I also got 19x9.5's for the front, but they don't seem to be available anymore so its a good thing I got them when I did.

rubber all the way around are Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 275/40-19. Exact overal diameter to my stockers but 30mm wider for extra traction. Got them mounted and balanced today. If I can get over to my storage place I'll be mounting them on the car. With pics to follow.

Those are going to look great!

[phillysrt4]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting them on. The weather seems good right now so I might try and see how they look :)

[Mark Aubele]

You will love those PSSs as long as it's over 40 out. Love them on the wife's car.

I've driven them on an 2008 M3 and I love them, but I'm also a bit biased toward Michelin and BFG :)

Seeing this thread and it only being -8c outside motivated me to hit the storage place and throw on the new wheels. Here's a few shots. I love how the 19x10 rear, 19x9.5 front really fills out the wheel wells. The 275's look downright meaty on the front!

Pimpin' the PSS!

[phillysrt4]

Sorry for the crap phone pics. Here's another of the fronts close up. Don't mind the brake rust she's been parked since November.

[THE BIG KOALA]

Did you have your hood vents painted or get new ones?

[Mark Aubele]

I love those wheels. I really don't like the wheels that came on mine gotta run them on the street for a while though.
